Hed Kandi The Mix: Summer 2007

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 06, 2007
For me, this was a good purchase. There are hardly any songs I dont like on it, as so happens often with these compilations. It is my first hed kandi CD box that I have bought though and usually steer clear of them. This could change my mind. I particularly like Byron Stingily (Get up everybody) and of course I want your soul by Armand Van Helden. Dont buy if you want something less commercial (although trust me it isnt that commercial!!) mind you if you have a clue what is, then you shouldnt be looking at these CD's anyway!

Back to the Old Skool Drum & Bass

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 18, 2002
Quite frankly I don't know what more needs to be said about this album, just look at the tracklisting. The majority of the tracks are all time jungle classics plus it features tunes by artists who back in the day weren't afraid to take a few risks in their music production (Dillinja, Lemon D, J Majik etc). Unfortunately there are a few dodgy tunes on the cd as well. Rockafella Skank, Spaced Invader, Love Is Not a Game; can somebody explain to me how these tunes are old skool ??
Also the mixing is a bit uninspired, just simple fades from one song to another. It sounds like it was done by a machine with no soul behind it.
So to sum it up, definitely buy this album, you won't regret it. the good tunes more than out weigh the bad ones.

The Sessions Vol.5: Mixed By Masters at Work

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Masters At Work

Release Date September 21, 1995
I agree with "rjaxx", just buy the cd 'cause it doesn't disappoint. I too bought this in '95. Looking back, '95 was one of the best years for house music, especially if you were in England, as I was. There are the classic cuts that stand the test of time: "Deliver Me"(which will be re-released on vinyl soon), "A Feeling", and a personal favorite "Get Up Off Me" -- I especially liked the "Masters At Work" vocal promo mixed into the track!

Sessions - Sneak Beats: Mixed By DJ Sneak

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: DJ Sneak

Release Date March 06, 2006
Given that it bears the Ministry branding, I was expecting this to be a pretty cheesy (sorry Ministry fans!) affair. How wrong I was...

Disc 1 has all the classic Sneak devices in place - classy, slinky deep house (opening track "If" by Audio Werner putting that mark on from the off), shades of Balearic house in the shape of "Body Bump" by Silent Salesman, soulful vocals , particularly "Sweat of your Brow" by Jully Black, ultra-hip Euro-Tech from Claude Von Stroke building to a raucous, party climax on the closing track. In my opinion the mix is pitched perfectly in terms of tempo and sashays it's way through the various colours and textures typical of a party-oriented mix from Sneak.

Disc 2 is much more of a stomper. ... Read More:

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 07, 1999
you can find almost everything in this cd, the second disc contains full selection of trance artists, what i find interesting is in Delerium's tune, silence, you can find sarah mclachlan's significant voice along with up beat sounds. This cd also has other selections of some of the best artists in dance music. Ministry Of Sound sure knows what do clubbers need!!!

Clubbers Guide, Summer '04

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 28, 2004
I am very much in to the old euphoria albums, into artists like Mauro Picotto, Faithless and Agnelli and Nelson. I love Trance, and if you like Trance then don't buy this album. It is just made up of crap poppy dance. I have no other choices for you as i am having trouble finding decent Trance compliation albums myself.

Steve Angello Presents Size

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 20, 2007
i must say i completely disagree with the above review. i feel this is a truely excellent album. Angello has moved away from the electro house sound that the sessions album had, and this album has a much more clever sound to it. the basslines are more minimal and the melodies more intricate. the sessions album was a very good cd and Sizeism just goes to show how Angello is continuously pushing house music forward. also, if you ever get a chance to see him live, please do as he is awesome.

Trance Nation 2001

CD-Charts > Music > Ministry of Sound
by: Various Artists, Ferry Corsten (Mixed By)

Release Date April 30, 2001
This CD is actually surprisingly good, and it really grows on the listener - then again, it IS mixed by a fantastic DJ.

First of all, whatever the cheese-meisters beneath may tell you, CD2 vastly outweighs CD1 on this album.

The first CD focuses on the more commercial side of 2001 trance, like 'Schiller - Das Glockenspiel', 'Tenth Planet - Ghosts' and 'The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia'. It flows quite nicely, and even has quite a hard edge in the middle, with Cosmic Gate and Norman Bass tracks. It's the stretch from 'Velvet Moods' to 'Wasteland' that makes this CD brilliant. Overall, some decent anthems, and also a lot of vocal-based tracks.

The second CD is a much more progressive, interesting, and less typical voyage ... Read More:
