Substance 1987

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: New Order

Release Date October 04, 1999
I bought this album for my wife as part of a birthday present. I'd not been a great New Order fan at the time of their rise to power - possibly still a bit miffed at the demise of the 'Division'. However, I have listened to it and my opinion of this group has changed. The orchestration is very good, musical abitilty is far superior to their contemporaries and I would recommend it to anyone with a taste for 1980's/1990's alternative rock/electric music.

Hercules and Love Affair

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: Hercules & Love Affair

Release Date March 10, 2008
Whatever impressions you may have gotten from lead single 'Blind', its best to approach this album with an open mind (as with most things). Whilst Hercules & Love Affair do take their lead from disco music, the scope of the songs is much broader, embracing minimalistic techno and torch-balladry to creating a heady and eclectic tracklist. They might not always produce up-tempo, dance-floor friendly hits, but to criticise Hercules & Love Affair for such a thing would be unfair, not to mention small-minded.

If there is a fault with the album, it is in the sequencing. The penultimate tracks, 'This is My Love' and 'Raise Me Up' sound uninspired and formulaic in comparison to all that comes before, contributing to a distinct second half ... Read More:

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 24, 2007
I have all the costes compilations and this is up there with the best of them.Its a good continuation from no 9 which is also very good. Modern chill out tunes to get you through the winter nights, a bit continental, a bit funky and a bit dub. Track 10 is class, nearly like the old days!!!
TUNE. The best new album i have bought for a long time.

White Room

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: The Klf

Release Date July 16, 1998
Ah yes, anyone who cut their "rave/dance floor" teeth during the wonderful beat-fuelled era of the early 90s will remember the insanely extravagant videos and majestic power-pop of the KLF. Well, this album is just pure class. Timeless, affectionate and moving in every way. The chart singles are actually my least favourite courses in this chilled banquet of decadent hedonism. Every track counts, you will not be disappointed. The highlights are the blissed out melodic morning-after tracks that are scattered across this 9 track CD. Back in the day, we used to pay for quality not quantity - and here is the proof. Relax and enjoy this marvellous creation, suitable for all occasions and moods. Allow yourself to be whisked back to a time when kids knew how to say "Make ... Read More:

Screamadelica

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: Primal Scream

Release Date January 15, 2001
Beautiful dance/rave culture/trance/pop/rock n roll euphoria.

this is an epic album, of gigantic proportions
the opener 'Movin on up' is a 70's rock style track with help from a gospel choir, jazz piano and chirpy guitars. then comes 'slip inside this house'. although not written by the scream, the bass guitar and percussion are beautiful, a gloomy yet booming song. 'Dont fight it feel it' is the most uplifting song ive heard. it plays into your brain and any fan of music will appreciate the singing.

the the highlight of the album 'higher than the sun' is a dub epic. althouugh on 4mins long it really will knock you socks off, i cant express just how cool and ice this song is, you have to hear it to realise ther beauty.

Leftism

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: Leftfield

Release Date January 10, 2000
One of the very few CDs in my collection I can listen to all the way through without skipping a track. Until you own this your CD collection is not complete, it is perhaps one of the greatest albums of all time, without a doubt one of the best dance albums ever, only Orbital and The Prodigy even come close and they released some stonkingly good albums

'Melt' and 'Storm 3000' are the personal favourites here but there are no tracks I dislike

Far from the Maddening Crowds

CD-Charts > Music > House and Garage
by: Chicane

Release Date October 22, 2007
I'm so glad they decided to re-release this album as for years I haven't been able to get my mitts on the original from 96/97. Still haunting to this day, these tracks sound as fresh now as they did 10 years ago. An essential part of any 'serious' dance fan's collection!
