DJ Kicks - Nightmares On Wax

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Nightmares On Wax

Release Date October 02, 2000
If you are looking for another smokers delight, then you will be rather unhappy with this cd - it IS mostly trip hop, there are some good tracks on this disk but it is not nearly as mello as previous titles like car boot soul etc. You are better off getting stoned and listening to white noise.

Cafe Del Mar Ibiza Vol.1: Mixed By Jose Padilla

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and Electronic
by: Jose Padilla

Release Date July 11, 2005
I bought this at the Cafe del Mar, having just watched the sun go down whilst sipping champagne and cocktails with a friend. Beautiful. Three days later our car was broken into and my bag was nicked, with this inside. Less beautiful. Suffice to say I'd grown to love this album enough by that point to be replacing it now I'm home. Everyone's got volume 5. Be different...

Very Best Of Xtreme Euphoria Mixed By Lisa Lashes

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

Release Date December 03, 2007
I guess it was only a matter of time untill Ministry Of Sound released a Hard Dance/Hard House classics compilation.

On the whole this is an acceptable album and as it focuses on the "Harder" side of EDM which hasent been so widely milked or ruined by commercialism unlike Trance and so although it is a "Very Best Of...." it still has some dignity as do the tracks.

However.....Ministry of Sound just couldnt let a classics album go without:

a) giving it 3CD's
b) putting on all the usual suspects on this un-needed extra disc

I am of course refering to the first disc that low and behold has tracks such as "Sandstorm" (do we realy need this track AGAIN??? its not particularly that good anyway) ... Read More:

Hardcore Euphoria: Mixed By Sy & Unknown Dougal & Gammer and Brisk & Ham

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

Release Date October 16, 2006
well, quite a few really, but three very good mixes in different ways, and each is noticeably more beefy than the previous disc. Sy and Unknown do a very solid selection that fairly lopes along once it hits its stride. Dougal and Gammer do a very vocal mix, and very bright and cheerful it is. Of COURSE Brisk and Ham come up with something a bit special: loads of their own tunes, plenty of V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D., very reminiscent of the brilliant Hi-Octane Collections. A bit of emotion, a bit of humour and loads of energy.

The Mash Up Mix 2006 [Mixed By The Cut Up Boys]

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

Release Date February 27, 2006
Excellent Mega mix, much improved from The Mash Up Mix 2005; a great sequel to this new series. Includes many classic dance anthems and all the hits of 2006.

The Cut Up Boys really show style, experimenting with different mixing styles and there is no monotonous beat, which goes through the whole mix. From the three MOS (2005, 2006, 2007) which of the time of writing are available, this Mash Up's is my favourite. Nice acappella version versions, which I never heard of Silence (Delerium), track 10, CD2 and a great reminder of what House music is ;-) with "Do you remember House". The CD2 finishes with the top dance song of 2005: D.H.T. - listen to your heart. I could not possibly describe all songs, but some of the above are just some examples. ... Read More:

Back to the Old Skool

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

Release Date October 01, 2001
Oh dear, oh dear. It really does seem like the Ministry of Sound label have lost their way. There was a time when they released quality dance compilations such as the 'Sessions' series. But now, it just seems that they are content on cashing in on any scene or re-vive fad, and their latest release 'Back to the Old Skool' is a prime example of this.

'Old Skool' music may have different interpretations, but I suspect for the majority this genre recalls those songs that defined white gloves, light sticks and dance music of the early 90's. The album has the usual anthems of this time, like 'Set you free' by N-Trance, and Liquid's 'Sweet Harmony', along with the odd forgotten gem such as Cola Boy's '7 ways to love'.

However, the majority of the ... Read More:

Cafe Del Mar Volume 4

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

Release Date June 18, 2001
Sadly I have to say I was disappointed with this compilation. Chill out music? Some tracks were OK but many are boring, bland and repetitious. Perhaps if Cafe del Mar put out less C/Ds, paying more attention to the tracks they would have a better product!
