Studio One Soul Vol.2 - Various Artists

Advantages: good start
Disadvantages: crap middle

...this is my most rescent buy of a house compilation and it is the best of them all it is very well mixed by andy farley and lisa pin up.both cds start off very well but as you get further into the album you start to get bored with some of the songs featured usually i like to be able to dance all the way through an album but this is not one of them. this is the best album i have for the mixing all the songs fit together very well and you dont jump from extreme to extreme with the tracks like i have heard on some other albums.also if you do purchase dont bother listening to the middles of either album they both start and finish well but there is only one good song in the middle of the two albums and that is mind body and soul....

Advantages: Good tracks, bonus material
Disadvantages: A few too many mixes

...Have already rated the previous album (put your hands up vol.1) and many of my points apply to this album aswell. After continually listening to the first album i decided to buy this one aswell and again i was not disappointed. There is again a brilliant mix of tracks over 3 CD's including several remixes and club mixes such as that of Camille Jonesvs Fedded le Grande-The Creeps (club mix). This i believe to be one of the best but there are 62 other tunes that you will just want to get up and dance to. Again, as like the previous album there is bonus content on CD1 including 3 awesomw music videos including Fedde Le Grande-Put your hands up and Alex Gaudino-Destination Calabria. This is a really nice touch to the album and makes it a real gem.... Read review

Advantages: High consistency of both soulful and heavy tracks
Disadvantages: Pretty similar with "Plastic Surgeries", etc.

...OK, this is Hospital again. Never ever has this label released a low quality CD compilation of tracks by various artists. If they select the finest, they always do the solid job. This one is no exception. First CD is a selection of tracks by both label's resident and outsiders, with the soulfulness of tunes being a criteria. Also some new people are included with tracks proving that they can become huge in some time. Laroque's "Goldfinger" and SKC's "Heart of Love" in the beginning are a good examples of that. Danny Byrd's famous "Planet Music" and Suncopix's "Happy Happy Joy Joy" continue on the vibe. Some tunes of scene's regulars follow, with tracks like "without You" by John B, "Fast Soul Music" by London Electricity, "Replay" by Logistics and "Quiet Star" by Syantific. Second CD is a mix by London Electricity and it does it's job... Read review
