Made In Holland - Dutch Electro - Various Artists

Advantages: Lots of tracks all at good length of time, great mixing and choice of tunes
Disadvantages: sometimes repetitive

...out that has not been released by either the 'Ministry of Sound' or 'Hed Kandi’. Two labels that endlessly bring out new compilations, some of which have limited quality. But this one done by ‘Resist’ provides tunes that are not always commercially released or played too much on the radio, complaints that often hit the 'Ministry of Sound'. To summerise, this compilation provides 3 disks each with 15 tracks that average the 5 minute mark each. It has some well known artist like Tiga, Audio Bullys, Mylo and Tocadisco. But it also uses relatively unheard of artists like Phatjak and Nicolas Valle who both offer great electro beats. This is a must for any clubber or electro house fan. And with 45 songs it is definitely value for money.... Read review

Advantages: No fillers, every song is good.
Disadvantages: cant think of any!

...This is a brilliant electro album, successfully mixing commercial tracks with rarer remixes and white label entries. This 2 cd album includes all the famous electro tracks that burst onto the commercial scene last summer, including Outwork, Bodyrox and David Guetta. It also includes some fantastic remixes of other songs such as Mr Brightside by the Killers and the Scissor Sisters' I dont feel like dancing. There are no fillers on this album, every song is worthy of it's place, and the standard of the electro genre is carried throughout both cd's to the end without wavering. I highly recommend buying this cd if you are an electro fan, even if you already have some of the songs, as the mixing is incredible and the remixes add a refreshing touch to songs that would not normally be included in the electro genre....

...genre. 17.: Turning Japanese – Vapors Amazingly yet another one hit wonder. This managed to combine various genres of music including rock, pop, and electro to great success. Wonderful record although some of the lyrics leave as bit to be desired. 18.: Rebel Yell – Billy Idol Despite Billy enjoying reasonably limited success in the British market this is his third offering on this album, although to be fair that is probably the full extent of his musical success. Pretty decent track if punk floats your boat. 19.: Here I Go Again – Whitesnake Yet another group who re-invented themselves to coincide with the change in musical tastes. Whitesnake were and still are one of the original heavy rockers, and they lost a lot of their heavy head banging side with this track. All in all a pretty decent track. 20.: Alive... Read review
