When Now Dance 2000 was released a little over a year ago, I was immediately interested. I knew that the quality of the Now compilations was certainly above average to say the least, and as dance was and is one of my favourite genres of music, it caught my attention almost straight away. After receiving the album for Christmas 1999, I can say that it is one of the best, if not the best compilation album I have ever got. It is vibrant and energetic, and contains so many of the best hits of that year that it really is a must-have.

And this one beats it.

Now Dance 2001 contains 43 of the best tracks of pure dance from the year 2000 (ironically) across 2 Discs, and features big names such as Bomfunk MC's, Robbie Williams, Sonique and more! There is almost guaranteed to be something to suit everybody, from 'Rock DJ' to 'Tell Me Why', 'Silence' to 'Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)'. With 43 tracks, and considering you can buy this album for about £13 with some bargain hunting, or maybe even less, the value per money per song is phenomenal, especially as, if you do buy it, it is likely to be because you would have bought some of the singles by themselves at up to £4 each, so, as I said, the value is immense.

The album also features some remixes of songs that I had previously not heard, including the Architechs' 'Body Groove' song, which interested me in particular.

Of course this album won't be for everyone. It is mostly aimed at people who like general pop and a bit of dance with it, hence artists such as Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears appearing on the album, although hard-core dance fans will appreciate it too, with less-well known artists such as Marc Et Claude and CRW appearing on the second disc.

The album features far too many songs to go through each one in particular, as followers of my opinions will have known me to do in the past, however, I am going to list the songs for your benefit, and, if you want any more information, the URL given on the album sleeve is http://www.dancesite.com

If you are going to buy this album anyway, then you are more than likely going to know all (or most) of the titles on the album anyway, so there isn't a great deal of point in doing it.

Here is Disc One:

1. Spice Girls - Holler
2. Britney Spears - Oops, I Did It Again
3. Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)
4. Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
5. Madison Avenue - Who The Hell Are You
6. Fatboy Slim - Sunset (Bird of Prey)
7. Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night (Radio Edit)
8. Architechs featuring Nana - Body Groove (Zed Bias Dub Mix)
9. Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler
10. Robbie Williams - Rock DJ
11. Kylie Minogue - On A Night Like This
12. Sonique - It Feels So Good
13. Moloko - The Time Is Now
14. Moby (feat Kelis) - Honey
15. Grace Jones vs Funkstar De Luxe - Pull Up To The Bumper
16. Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby
17. Geri Halliwell - Bag it Up
18. Tom Jones & Mousse T - Sex Bomb
19. True Steppers feat Victoria Beckham and Dane Bowers - Out of Your Mind
20. Melanie B - Tell Me
21. Billie Piper - Something Deep Inside

And here is Disc Two:

1. Storm - Time To Burn
2. Darude - Sandstorm
3. York - O.T.B. (On the Beach)
4. Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan - Silence
5. Planet Perfecto - Bullet in the Gun 2000
6. ElementFour - Big Brother Theme Tune
7. Fragma - Toca's Miracle
8. Angelic - It's My Turn
9. Aurora feat Naimee Coleman - Ordinary World
10. Alice Deejay - The Lonely One
11. Melanie C - I Turn To You
12. SuReal - You Take My Breath Away
13. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love (Rob Searle Club Mix)
14. CRW - Lovin'
15. Lock 'N' Load - Blow Ya Mind
16. Marc Et Claude - I Need Your Lovin' (Like the Sunshine)
17. Watergate - Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (Heart of Asia)
18. Paul Van Dyk featuring St Etienne - Tell Me Why (The Riddle)
19. Basement Jaxx - Bingo Bango
20. Scott and Leon - You Used To Hold Me
21. K-Ci and Jojo - Tell Me it's Real
22. Tru Faith feat. Dub Conspiracy - Freak Like Me

If you don't know the tracks, then I wouldn't recommend you buy this album, but if these tracks ring the sound of pure gold in your mind, then this is the only album worth buying with your left over vouchers this year. It is as good as it sounds, nearly 3 hours of pure dance tunes. And with such value for money, even one disc would have sufficed. A must-have for all dance fans.
