Title:
DJ Networx vol. 10
reviewed on 08/25/01Label: 2001 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Trance/Techno Index #: 504155 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Time for mixes by DJ DEAN
in his resident compilations. The first one is volume 10 of "DJ
Networx" a double CD featured 40 tunes in more heavy
TRANCE and TECHNO
sound. Once again DJ DEAN exceeded himself in compiling and mixing
cutting edge tunes in this masterful performance. This newest volume
captivates as always top CLUB sound in the choices of tunes he made
for the track listing. As this series consistently delivers the top-notch
UNDERGROUND sound, this volume should find
the place in sound library all of you who are into this style. You should
recognize several tunes by such projectd as DJ VISAGE, FRAGMA, DJ
SCOT, KOALA or DJ DEAN himself, yet there are less known tunes as
well. First CD starts with newest from KOALA - "Tribal
Island" in club mix. Dynamic TRANCE
with narrative female vocals with soaring strings and interesting melody
line. This rather pleasant sound s turning into more monstereous HARD
TRANCE in the next tune "The Judgement
Day" by THE OFFICIAL GOLIATH & ANTHEM. This intoxicating
sound will prevail in entire CD. TRANCE
will mixed with PROGRESSIVE and DRUM'N'BASS
sound here and there. You really have to be into club sound to fully
enjoy the mixes from both CDs presented by DJ
DEAN. For instance "What's Up"
by HUNTER, LAUKS & PARIS in DJ DEAN Remix combines
TRANCE melodic line with pulsating drums and bass-line that will wake
up dead bodies. Same goes to "Let Us Fly"
by LOS PABLOS where TRANCE peacefully
meets PROGRESSIVE HOUSE. Second CDs starts
with deceiving "Redemption" by
DJ DERBY. This 2001 version deliver much richer sound with wider
utilization of electronic instruments. Well... also this CD is quite
heavy in terms of presented sound. TECHNO-HOUSE
and PROGRESSIVE sound are especially distinct
with good examples of such tunes as "The
Ultimate" by DJ SCHWEDE, "No
Gravity" by DJ SESSION ONE , "Here
We Go" by DJ DEAN and several others. This particular
CD is hardly TRANCE yet characteristic sound to this genre appears here
and there. I prepared sound sampler featuring 8 tunes taken from both
CDs. For now enjoy the sound !If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Tunnel Goes Ibiza
reviewed on 08/25/01 Label: 2001 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 503 457 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Special edition of
"Tunnel Trance" celebrating
presence of TUNNEL DJs in the biggest European dance club located in
Ibiza - "Priviledge". Once again similar to
"DJ Networx" series this set has been prepared
by it's resident DJ - DJ DEAN. Be prepared for slamming 33 leading
IBIZA party smashers. DJ DEAN picked the selection to satisfy
both TECHNO and TRANCE
fans. His set features such fares as new from MARIO LOPEZ "Blind",
SYLVER's "Turn The Tides"
, new from NIELS VAN GOGH - "Electric
Confusion" and several others.This is truly an outsanding
compilation. In my opinion much more diversified than the reviewed above
"DJ Networx 10". When
making sound sampler I focused mostly on TRANCE tunes. So you will find
there "Trip To Africa" by DJ
SESSION ONE meets MANUEL OETTL. No not really a TRIBAL
sound as you might expect from the title, but rather big room monster
with great bassline and perfect synth lines. New from DJs@WORK
- "Someday" is also a magnificent
track with drama perfected to the high level. "Galaxy
Of Time" by D-LUTION is also dramatic with synths
surrounding you! One of my most favorable tunes is "Night
In Motion" by NOSTRUM. This one has killer hooks
to die for. From unknown to me PARA X comes "Tears".
Another chilling top-notch TRANCE experience.
In the same line is "Forever Friends"
by GIGI LAV meets DEN DJ. The melodic line in this one is simply
from another dimension. You should also fall for "Dance
Nomore" by YONI. This production is gorgeous with
scintillating, pumped-up synth lines! Very uplifting is also "Koala
Sunrise" by ULURO sporting electronic instruments
to the max! I was also excited to see Calderone Remix of "Set
You Free" by C.J. BUCHANNON! "Trip
To Earth" by SPACE PLANET is also an example of perfectly
done pandemonic TRANCE! You will love it's
sound and I am sire the dancefloor will go bizarre! I am sure that if
you will listen to the sound sampler, you will fall in love with this
offering. Perfect! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

For the first time I
am able to review the compilation from this based in Spain label:
BLANCO Y NEGRO. If you are collector of dance releases this label
should be no stranger to you. Many great HI-NRG and DANCE tunes were
released on this one. BLANCO Y NEGRO MIX
8 is set of three CD cleverly divided into sections related
to various dancable styles. In spite of the name, this is not mixed
compilation. The name rather reffers to the presented variety of
styles. So the first one is devoted to DANCE
tunes. Among known titles you will find here fares by MAGIC BOX,
new from EIFFEL 65 "Lucky (In My
Life)", "Daddy DJ"
by DADDY DJ and several less known like very dynamic EURODANCE
tune "Remember Me (Scialali Scialali)"
by NICOLE BRAND. EURO-TRANCE interperation
of late Freddy Mercury's megahit
"Living On My Own" by MR
VINX or incredibly catchy "Can't Fight
The Moonlight" by SAINT ETIEN. Second CD is adressed to HOUSE
mavens! This one is also loaded with cutting-edge tunes. It starts
with "If I Ever Feel Better, I'll Go To
The Disco" by PHOENIX followed by such tunes as
" I Wanna Be Free" by CHOCOLATE
PUMA, "American Dream"
by JAKATTA or "Another Chance"
By ROGER SANCHEZ that is actually storming also US clubs. The
last CD is addressed to PROGRESSIVE & TECHNO
freaks. Well guys you might find here some rare tunes like "Something"
by LASGO, "Maximicing The Audience"
by ELASTICA presents JESUS ELICES and many others. So
taken together, set of 56 tunes that will keep your party rolling!
For the sound sampler I prepared mix featuring 8 tracks taken from
first and third CD! For now enjoy the music!| Title:
TECHNICS - DJ Set - Volume 2
reviewed on 08/19/01 Label: 2001 Warner Special Marketing (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 8573-89649-2 |
|
| Review: | |
Today let me present a
new TECHNO/TRANCE series from Warner Music
label. It became more and more popular to release compilations featuring
DJ mixes. First volume released few months ago was very well received,
setting a new standard for DJ mixes. The flagship title "TECHNICS"
is in the international DJ and club scene for decades synonym for professional
equipment of the absolute top class. Most of the professional DJs well
known their's legendary Technics "SL120-MK 2" turntable. The company
still provides the world class equipment for DJs and their turntables
were used to make the mixes.CD 1 is prepared by a resident DJ of this
series: DJ SHOG (Sven Greiner) who started his carrier as a DJ
back in 1993 playing mostly TRANCE and
TECHNO. He is currently resident DJ at
several German clubs in Kiel, Heide, Rendsburg and Lübeck. He is
also associated with emerging German label: Blutonium Traxx. His mix
on first CD features a wide range of TRANCE/TECHNO
tunes. It starts with "A Whiter Shade Of
Pale" by SARAH BRIGHTMAN vs. ATB. YES! Sarah did
TRANCE. Her angelic voice fits perfectly
to an electronic world created by ATB. There are many excellent
tunes chosen by DJ SHOG. Some of them are already TECHNO/TRANCE
anthems like "Unsolved Mysteries"
by KAY CEE, "Kathy's Song"
by APOTYGMA BERZERK in passionate Ferry Corsten Remix and several
others. From less known tunes I would like to draw your attention to
"Cloudless Sky" by M-SHAPE,
new KOALA tune "Tribal Island"
or "End Of Time" by SUNFIRE
LTD. The second CD is prepared by GREEN COURT aka MARC
DAWN. If you following TECHNO/TRANCE
scene for last 3 years you know the name very well. MARC started
his DJing experience back in 1998. He released several singles ("Shining"
kicked TOP 40 and current "Take(My Breath
Away)" is storming charts worldwide) and most recently his
debut album. He also remixed several other projects such as Sylver,
Cosmic Gate, Dumonde, Pulsedriver, Rollergirl, Mario Lopez, Naid, Tukan,
Signum, Ambassador, Mono Culture and Apoptygma Berzerk. He also produces
Cosmic Gate. No wonder why, mix he made for second CD features several
of his own remixes such as "Light A Rainbow"
by TUKAN or "Amnesia"
by ALEX BARTLETT. Be prepared for great sound experience. Taken
together this new series is very excititng and will be a highlight of
your collection. Another good DJ set to go that will keep your party
running! I preapred and extensive sound sampler featuring 10 tunes (5
from each CD). The mix is not retained since more important factor was
the featured music. Get this set, another well spent dollars! For now
enjoy the sound! |

PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT - Volume 1 -reviewed
on 08/18/01 Label: 2001 Mix Connection Multimedia (US) Style: Progressive House Index #: MCM51451-2 |
|
| Review: | |
Another DJ Mix. This time
by American DJ with Polish background. Most of you who live in Chicago,
IL area knows this name: DJ MARKSKI. He is not only a club DJ
but also do some radio shows in that area. On the top of it he owns
and signature two DJs stores in Chicago. A leading place in US to get
most current hits directly from Europe. DJ MARKSKI spins almost
anything that has label: DANCE. From classic
EURODANCE, thru TECHNO,
TRANCE to PROGRESSIVE HOUSE. He
finally released his first official compilation on Chicago's label MIX
CONNECTION MULTIMEDIA entitled "PROGRESSIVE
MOVEMENT - Volume 1". This offering contain his continuous
mix of tunes that belong mostly to PROGRESSIVE
HOUSE genre. The selection is interesting, yet very heavy! This
is truly a club house sound for bad boys! With such tracks as "Fuck
On Cocacaine" by DJ YOURI, "O-Overdrive"
by DJ SCOT PROJECT, "Concentrate"
by AXEL KONRAD you will be exposed to a firework of drum and
basses. This set that should be available nationwide, should do good
in American TECHNO clubs, since it seems
to me American club scene falls more into PROGRESSIVE
sound than anything else that belongs to the megagenre: TECHNO.
Mixing technique is good, however jingles like: "DJ Markski's rocking
the beats progressive style" here and there are rather annoying.
Hope it will not appear on future releases. Taken together good set
from great DJ. Hope more like this will appear on domestic market, and
hopefully DJ MARKSKI will also feature other dance styles. We know he
is good at them as well, For now enjoy the mix featuring 6 tunes taken
from this offering Enjoy! For more info about DJ MARKSKI , visit his page at www.djmarkski.com If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

IN TRANCE WE TRUST 006 - DJ Cor Fijneman -reviewed
on 08/18/01 Label: 2001 In Trance We Trust / Black Hole Recording (Holland) Style: Trance Index #: ITWT 006CD |
|
| Review: | |
Are you ready for DJ
COR FIJNEMAN again? His debut in previous volume of IN
TRANCE WE TRUST reviewed below brought a fresh impact to
this series. No wonder why he was invited to prepare this release. With
this issue we are getting more of specific sound he is currently playing.
A combination of TRANCE with more brutal
PROGRESSIVE HOUSE elements. This offering
featuring COR's LIVE turntable mix is indeed an adventure not
to be missed especially if you are into club climates! CD starts with
"Moment By Moment" from IMPACT.
Perfect starter to set the mood. Brilliant electronics and a hauntingly
beatiful melody combine here for a dynamic, darkly dramatic effect that's
incredibly mesmerizing. The synth lines, melody and female vocals build
into a wild, mournfully subline big room ecstasy monster. COR
masterfully moves to "Depts Of Time"
by JACOB & MENDEZ. This tune also falls into TRANCE
category with female vocals and artfully done synth work. Among 16 tunes
are other incredible tunes. For instance "Escalator"
by HEADSTRONG delivers slamming electronic experience to die
for. Incredibly infectious in every detail! If You liked now overplayed
DJ TIËSTO's "Flight 643"
you should enjoy Orkidea's Wintergalactic Mix which in my opinion is
richer than the original version. If you would like to sample COR's
own production. This mix features his own title "10
PM" as well as his own mix of "Sunshine"
by DANCE NATION. You will also find on this CD productions that
you should be already familiar with like "Open
Your Eyes" by INSIMA or "Mysteries
Of Life" by AIRWAVE to name the few. Sound sampler
features 6 tunes taken from this offering, however it will not do the
justice. You really have to listen to the original CD. The music is
simply perfect for club freaks and mixing technique is superb. Get this
one while it is still around! For the time being enjoy the sound! For more info about COR FIJNEMAN, visit his page at cfijneman.trance.nu |

Trancemaster 30
reviewed on 08/18/01 Label: 2001 Vision Soundcarriers / Zomba (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 302 4106-2 |
|
| Review: | |
For more TRANCE
sound you really should look forward for new release from TRANCEMASTER
series now at volume 30! Once again we have an interesting set of 23
tunes on 2 CDs that was mastered this time by SLOBODAN PETROVIC
(PULSEDRIVER) himself! I said it before and I will repeat it again.
It is the best series for this genre currently on market! No doubt about
it. Selection is stunning and music is just plain wonderful. If you
missed vinyl releases of some cutting-edge tunes, this offering is for
you. What makes this set of special value for committed to TRANCE
DJs is the fact that included mixes are all in their extended versions
in most cases available only on vinyls. Be prepared for transcendental
journey into the world of electronically generated music, into the dimensions
you didn't know they existed. The ride is a pure hedonistic pleasure
and it starts right from the first tune: "Shadows"
by DITO filled with gorgeous melody and soaring synth work. First
CD features such gems as new from MARIO LOPEZ - "Blind"
in dazzling CJ Stone meets Mr. Phillips Club Remix, "Sacred
City" by STEVE MORLEY from Suck Me Plasma Record
or "Redemption" by FORCE MAJEURE
to name the few. Also some tracks you should be already aware of by
DJ SCOT PROJECT, SYSTEM F. or DELERIUM. Second CD is no
shorter of marvellous TRANCE tunes. You
will find here such titles as "Horizon"
by JIMMY GOLDSCHMITZ vs. PETER LUTS, new from RALPH FRIDGE
- "Mystery" or "Touch
Me Part 2" by ARMIN VAN BUUREN in hot Vincent De
Moor Remix. When comparing this offering with previous releases, one
might notice less UNDERGROUND feeling and more shift toward mainstream
club TRANCE scene. I am not going to try
to convince you that this has to be in your collection. Audio sampler
will!. I included 10 tunes from both CDs in the mix for your listening
pleasure. For more music you gotta get the real thing. Your money will
be wisely spent! Guaranteed! |

Mad About The Boy 7
reviewed on 08/17/01 Label: Klone Records/Rumour Records (England) Style: High Energy/Dance Index #: CDKOPY 130 |
|
| Review: | |
Now time for HIGH
ENERGY fans. KLONE RECORDS released on August 6th, next
volume of their most popular series. As usually you will find there
KLONE's favorite artists such as CHEKMATE, TERESA MARIE, DEZIRE,
SUSHI or DIVA DELUX to name the few. Several tunes already appeared
on CD singles like "What Took You So Long"
by TERESA MARIE, "Thank You"
by E.M. PROJECT feat. LINZI or "Fascinated"
by BOYZ WITH TOYZ for instance. Not only that, you also find
here some exclusive fares like "No Frills
Love" by TAMMI LAVETTE, "I
Just Can't Get To Sleep At All" by CANDI STATON,
"Ocean Drive" from SOUTH BEACH,
"Long Hot Summer" from SUNDOWNERS
and "Angels" by RIMINI.
Special contribution delivered KAMOUFLAGE with their version
of "Against All Odds". I found
here also very interesting interpretation of JAM & SPOON
tune "Angel (Ladadi O-Heyo)"
done by BWT feat. NINA. Ross Alexander's Extended Mix of this
track delivers powerful NRG combined with
state-of-the-art synth work. Indeed a gem for all of you who appreciate
such combination. NINA's angelic and poweful voice adds to it's originality.
This offering also making a welcome return to the scene of highly acclaimed
NRG producer IAN LEVINE who is responsible
for featured in here tunes by SOUTH BEACH and RIMINI.
So, be prepared for 18 vibrating tracks across both CDs in this one
of the strongest issues from this series. In sound sampler I created
mix containing 6 tracks from this release. I hope it will convince you
for the value of this priceless set! Enjoy! For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |

MAGIK SEVEN - Live In Los Angeles (mixed by DJ Tiësto) -reviewed
on 07/14/01 Label: 2001 Black Hole Recording (Holland) Style: Trance Index #: BLACK HOLE CD 19 |
|
| Review: | |
Finally a new mix done
by DJ TIËSTO from his own series MAGIK.
You might recall that last year I presented "MAGIK
SIX" featuring his live mix from WILDLIFE
event in Amsterdam. "MAGIK SEVEN"
is DJ TIËSTO's live mix recorded from his live appearance
in MAYAN THEATRE in Los Angeles
back in April 2001. The mix features 15 cutting-edge tunes. Choices
for the mix made by DJ TIËSTO clearly show that he is really
diversifying in the sound he presents. It is no longer just a big room
TRANCE but rather various shades of electronic
sound more in the EPIC side. This mix prepared for US audience is testing
the crowd endurance to a more sophisticated club sound. This was a risky
experiment, yet his appearance met with a huge enthusiasm. showing that
we here in the US are open for what we think is new in the elctronic
sound, yet it has been already spreading in European clubs for a long
time. The mix starts with "People Want To
Be Needed" by THE AURANAUT. You will hear the crowd
going nuts after Holly Adams introducing DJ TIËSTO. Track
itself is an aggressive EPIC TRANCE with
some oriental influence. Perfect beginning for the journey you are about
to start. Among stellar tunes you will find such beauties as "Open
Your Eyes" by INSIGMA (amazingly produced drama tune
to die for), or "Stringer" by
RIVA (very rhythmic electronic stumper). Definately a collector
item this CD is. Delicious, mind--numbing experience you could wish
for. You will be taken by by wickedly hypnotic snares and synth lines
in many of the featured tunes. A throbbing experince you cannot afford
to miss. If you are fan of DJ TIËSTO talent, this CD is
for you. You will spend 77 minutes in good trip into electronic havoc
if you will. In sound sampler I featured 6 tunes taken from this release.
Hopefully it will give you some idea. Enjoy! For more info about DJ TIËSTO, visit his page at www.dj-tiesto.com |

DJ TIËSTO - Revolution

If you still want more
of DJ TIËSTO you can! Here is another compilation (this
time featuring two CDs) including best PROGRESSIVE
and TRANCE sound you can get. When you
will compare the track listing of this compilation with the one reviewed
above, you will notice several overlapping tunes. One reason is that
both releases were made in approximately similar time frame and DJ
TIËSTO featured in both of them the tracks he currently use
for his sets. It doesn't make this compilation less attractive. As a
matter of fact with total 30 tunes featured in here this offering will
make you even more fulfilled! The sound is fascinating and that what
really counts. DJ TIËSTO divided this compilation into two
sets and even gave them the name. The first CD is called: DARKSIDE while the second one BRIGHTSIDE.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the first CD will feature
more aggressive and mystic sound. CD starts with new offering from DELERIUM
(with LEIGH NASH replacing SARAH McLACHLAN). The NASH's voice is equally
beautiful and the music itself will blow your mind. You will also be
moved by LEAMA and her "Melodica"
tune. It's another TRANCE marvel with the
haunting female vocal adding the mystery to this wonderful production.
Great choice! If you will browse the content of this first CD you will
find other tunes by such projects as AGNELLI & NELSON, KAMAYA
PAINTERS and many many others. Listening to this CD will be a gratifying
experience. Guaranteed! The second CD is no short of great tunes as
well! Many amazing tunes just to mention "Mysteries
Of Life" by AIRWAVE, "Open
Your Eyes" by INSIGMA, 2000 Remake of "Strange
World" by PUSH and several others. You will be definately
happy with the selections. Great release once again showing an incredible
talent of DJ TIËSTO and his vision on how to present the
music. The sound sampler features 6 tracks taken from this release.

IN TRANCE WE TRUST 005 - DJ Cor Fijneman -reviewed
on 07/12/01 Label: 2001 In Trance We Trust / Black Hole Recording (Holland) Style: Trance Index #: ITWT 005CD |
|
| Review: | |
This is my first chance
to review the release from IN TRANCE WE TRUST
series, released by the label under the same name coming from BLACK
HOLE PRODUCTION. You really should keep your eye on this series, since
it bring a great TRANCE sound from around the world mixed by leading
DJ (previous editions were mixed by: MISJA HELSLOOT, STIGMA, LARS HOLTE
and JOHAN GIELEN. This volume is not different. Mix was prepared by
local Dutch DJ COR FIJNEMAN. You might not be really familiar
with him, but in fact he has been in the music industry for many years.
His is devoted to quality TRANCE and has
produced several tracks for DJ TIËSTO, THE DOWNSEEKERS and others.
He recently remixed such projects as BT or MAJOR LEAGUE.
COR also composes his own music (like in two featured tunes in
this set: "Mohave" by THREESOME
or "No More Tears" by ALLURE
(along with DJ TIËSTO). This compilation features all together
16 tunes (including two mentioned above). COR did an oustanding
job in choosing the titles for his turntable mix that itself is extraodinary.
Among other titles that need your attention are tunes done by CLUBMASTERZ,
MOONTRIBE, TWENTY-SOMETHING and many, many others. If you didn't
get recently any other TRANCE compilation,
the money you spent on this one will be your best investment. This particular
compilation was such a big success that COR was invited to make
volume 6 that will hit the streets on July 16, 2001. I am sure another
piece of gold to get. For now enjoy the mix of 8 tunes from this offering
(the original mixing was not retained). Enjoy the quality music!For more info about COR FIJNEMAN, visit his page at cfijneman.trance.nu |

EXOTIC ROBOTICS - Pleasure 141X
reviewed on 07/08/01 Label: 2000 Atmospherex (US) Style: Progressive/Trance Index #: 0977100012 |
||
| Review: | ||
Let me present you something
different. In the age of digital sound and digital motion there is a
search for new ways to present music. The New York based ATMOSPHEREX
decided to take the advantage of the technology and last year produced
a set of CD and DVD featuring PROGRESSIVE/TRANCE
sound. I apologize for presenting this 2000 release in July 2001 but
I just recently received this set. First let me tell you that most of
you who are into AMBIENT and more PROGRESSIVE
TRANCE sound will find this offering a very exciting one. The
choice of tunes is excellent and most of them actually reached only
UNDERGROUND scene, making this set even more attractive. Most of featured
tunes come from 1999-2000, yet the sound is plain incredible and refreshing.
The first CD is just the audio CD. Tunes are beautifully mixed and tracks
seamlessly move from one to another. So if you just want to encounter
the music, pop this beauty to your CD player and you will enter the
electronic sound instaneously. However, if you wish for more excititng
visual encounter, take the DVD an put to your DVD player. You will be
entering of psychedelic world of visual effects. I think the DVD part
is a must for any VJ in their booth. Combination of sound with computer
generated visuals is just something that current VJ have to make on
their own, but thanks to ATMOSPHEREX the job is done for them. "EXOTIC
ROBOTICS - Pleasure Mix 141X" is ATMOSPHEREX's first
release in this genre and hopefully not the last one. I indeed strongly
recommend this set. For the sound sampler I used ATMOSPHEREX own's REAL/VIDEO
clips. You have five of them in very low quality, but it should give
you an idea what's in store. Enjoy the sound and visuals.If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

SEX, SWORDS & SANDALS - Epic Anthems
reviewed on 07/07/01 Label: 2001 Klone Records/Rumour Records (England) Style: High Energy / Euro Index #: CDKOPY 129 |
|
| Review: | |
Brand new offering from
KLONE RECORDS a UK label devoted to NRG
sound. SEX, SWORDS & SANDALS
is their newest and Anniversary compilation. Definately a treat for
all of you NRG mavens! The set features
3 CDs. Two of them contain 10 full length tracks and the third one is
a mix of 18 tunes called "The Toga Party
Mix" done by DJ ROSS ALEXANDER. What folks from KLONE
did was to include some of KLONE's more known hits (both original and
"remakes"). All of them done in dramatic NRG
sound. You will find such classics as "Wicked
Game", "California Dreaming", "Manic Monday",
"Killing Me Softly" or "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"
just to mention the few. These classics received an NRG
treatment, that push them to a new height. Some of them you probably
already heard because several titles appeard on previous KLONE compilations
as well as singles released by this label. No matter who you are, but
if you admire pure HIGH-ENERGY this set
will definately be a highlight of your collection. If you already own
some of these titles, you still should get it. Such a spectacular collection
of tunes do not come often, and also the price will fit everyone's pocket.
Morever, as I mentioned above, the third CD features megamix. This mix
itself would move your party! To get you some ideas I prepared Mix featuring
6 tracks taken from first and second CD! For now enjoy the music!For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |
