Ibiza '99 Vol.1 (The Year Of Trance) - Various Artists

Advantages: A different, new style of Trance
Disadvantages: Not to all tastes.

...A good album, I bought this 3 CD set in 2008 for £15 off the net. First of all, don't expect this to be a normal Euphoria CD. Most of the music is Goa(India) derived and it is a completely new sound in terms of usual trance. Headed by John '00' Fleming and 00 db. It has a distinct Asian feel to it, which I think is rather good, but I don't think it would suit all tastes. Many of the artists I have never heard of. John Fleming gives good commentary explaining his views and thoughts on his choices of tracks. The package is bright, very colourful and imagative and the discs are all coloured brightly. Is this the way forward in trance now? We'll wait and see. Highly recommended. CD 1 1. Spines by Sun Control Species 2. The Strangest Night and Still... by Out Of Loop 3. Hertz So Good by Kiwa 4. Ghostrider by Nyquist 5. Human... Read review

Advantages: A good mix of songs
Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework

...A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to. I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-) Housework vol 1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie. The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents...

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

...An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone. I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on Tracks Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence... Read review
