Back to the Old Skool - Ibiza Anthems

Search: For An Angel - Van Dyk- Paul
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 30, 2003
There is no doubt to the 'classic' status of the tracks on this album. They are all memorable and some are still played in clubs today. It is becoming a bit of a washout though since there are zillions of compilations just like this on the market. If you have one of the classic compilations you have them all! Each of these compilations have the majority of the same tracks on them.
Judging on its own merits this compilation is a bit of a mare. The mixing is sporadic in timing and quality. For instance the mixing between Needin U and Dreamer is very good, but other mixes are 'just press stop on one and start on the other at the same time' mixing. Some of the editing is not particularly good either. The cutting of Darude- Sandstorm is a particular ... Read More:

Ministry of Sound: The Annual Vol.4

Search: For An Angel - Van Dyk- Paul
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 02, 1998
This Annual really stands out from the others in my view. It not only characterized the wicked summer '98, but really had such a large variety of songs - from the incredibly uplifting and classic sounding 'Brimful of Asha' that brings back memories of school days, but classic trance songs like Chicane's incredible 'Strong In Love', and the fun 'Gangster Trippin' by good ol' Fatboy Slim - a time when yes, this genre of music was included in Annuals, unlike today where its all just kiddy house music and just absolutley no variety. I guess MoS have forgotten that The 'Annual' does actually mean something in music terms..
I think the album stands out again 'cause the 2 cd's are very simialr - unlike most other annuals that had a house and trance cd. ... Read More:

Essential Selection Summer '98

Search: For An Angel - Van Dyk- Paul
by: Various Artists, Pete Tong

Release Date August 17, 1998
If the strawberry filled cover isn't enough to make you buy this, looking good enough to eat, then a few listenings of random tracks will make you place an order. 1998 was a standout year for dance music in the summer - Gatecrasher released Black, The Annual vol.4 by MoS provdied a brilliant listening after the dull and chilly vol.3, and Pete Tong released this - his summer selection. Out of all the albums though, only he could provide a true sound of clubbing (hasn't that always been the case? Rarely do you see a track under 5 minutes!)
Magnum Force sets the tone brilliantly with its fast break beat and suspicious rhythm, and you have to give Tong credit for providing variety in his albums, and the next 3 or so tracks mix different beat patterns. ... Read More:
