Sunset Ibiza: Classic Chillout Moods & Sunset Beats

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 14, 2001
I been searching for a chill out compilation that reaches the highs of Sunset Ibiza for years. Nothing comes close. The rest lack imagination and seem monotonous by comparison. This is as good as it gets.

Twisted Disco

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 24, 2003
This album could have been excellent. It is let down mainly by the fact that it is propped up with big tunes from last year and fails to showcase any significant new work. The effort from the winners of German popstars is simply eurotrash and not really worth mentioning apart from that. By this if you dont already own "Shiny Disco Balls" "77 Strings" or nby some freak of nature you havent yet got "Days Go Bye" by the sublime Dirty Vegas. If you do perhaps it would be best to wait for he next Hed Kandi release "Disco Heaven 2"...

Helter Skelter Presents Hardcore 2007: the New Generation

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 16, 2007
This album is different to say the least, but not in a bad way, for one, its called the new generation for a reason, this is the way hardcore could be evolving into, if your not comfortable then you should stop listening, its not the typical, melodic style hardcore usually is (asides from CD 3 which is traditional hardcore)its fast, and sounds somewhere in the middle of drum and bass, and garage, but it works, which is the key element to it, if your looking for a break from melodic freeform hardcore, give this a try you might like it

Comme Si de Rien N'Etait

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Carla Bruni

Release Date August 05, 2008
2007's No Promises, made before Carla Bruni became Mrs Sarkozy, was a surprisingly good album considering it's concept. A French-Italian super model setting music to 11 classic poems, including works by the likes of WB Yeats, Emily Dickinson, WH Auden and Dorothy Parker...who wouldn't want to avoid that like the plague?

But here we are, 12 months down the line and Bruni has done it again. Only the one song is in English this time, You Belong To Me, and this proves to be a wise move. The bubbly Je Suis Une Enfant is one highlight, the breathy and sophisticated sound of Le Temps Perdu is another. But in reality there's not really much on the album that you wouldn't want to listen to again and again.

But there is no way that Comme ... Read More:

Electric Calm Vol.4

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 01, 2007
Every one of these Electric Calm compilation albums is a winner but this fourth effort is superb. It's a seamless, hypnotic blend of ambient, golden and richly satisfying tone poems, nothing experimental, nothing in your face. I recommend Electric Calm 4 to anyone who wants to slip off the world for a while and return to the planet a happier person.

Beach House 04.04

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 19, 2004
2004's "Beach House" offers more of what we expect from this Hed Kandi series: summery, often percussion heavy house. The best of these 24 unmixed tracks can be found on disc one, with delectable selections like Kaskade's "Safe," Nars & Emma's "I Wanna Know," and "Tell Me All About It" by Treena Rose. Miguel Migs, a DJ whose style of house fits perfectly into this compilation, is represented on "Do It For You." But disc 2 is where the magic nearly unravels. While a handful of the cuts on this disc may warrant a replay, it ultimately loses both a bit of steam and focus. It kicks off promisingly with Eric Kupper's sensual "Auora" and Peyton's "I Rise," one of the few house tracks on this set with a male vocal. But some other selections don't work, such ...
