RecordName:
The Best of Acid Jazz Vol. 2 (JAZID CD66)

Review:
This record seems to be divided about 50/50 between Soul & traks that are more "Acid Jazzy". Bieng less into the soul traks it seems unfair to comment on them, there's more than a handfull of smooth & moody funk on this one, 'tho!! Gets played pretty often!!


Review:
Worth buying just for "Bouderies" by Leena Conquest IMHO. A mixture of "smoochy" acid jazz numbers, a few light hip-hop traks & a couple of "funk-outs with attitude"- Not bad!!


Review:
I'd describe this stuff as the "smoochy" end of Acid Jazz, with a bit of soul & Hip-Hop thrown in. Gets used as "muzak" rather alot I'm afraid, but nice for that anyway


RecordName:
Journeys by DJ- Rocky & Diesel.(JDJCD7)1995

Review:
There's some really excellent deep house on this one, trancy building & funkkky!! Sadly there's also about 5 or so rather lightweight & trashy garagey numbers mixed in with them........Still pretty damm good, 'tho & worth getting!!!


RecordName:
Mix This Pussy- DJ Danny Tenaglia. (TRIBAL U.K.)

Review:
You like deep house & YOU HAVEN'T GOT THIS ONE????????? The "Dog's bollox"- 'nuff said. Not only NO filler trax, no tracks that are "just" O.K. either!!


RecordName:
Can your pussy do the dog?- DJ Danny Tenaglia. (Tribal U.K.)

Review:
You like deep house & YOU HAVEN'T GOT THIS ONE????????? #:-) Not quite as good as "Mix this Pussy" IMHO but still dam excellent hard tribal funk! No filler trax!!!


RecordName:
The Future sound of New York- Junior Vasquez (M.O.S. SOMCD1)

Review:
Junior Vasquez mixes some *seriously* gritty NY house.. *Another* well cool CD!! Again no filler trax!


RecordName:
Ministry of Sound, the sessions 3- Clivilles & Cole(MINSTCD003)

Review:
Sort of starts off deep house, & gets faster & harder. Quite a good C.D. this- definitly gets played but not really one to get excited about.


RecordName:
Ministry of Sound, the sessions 2-Paul Oakenfold

Review:
Staying pretty funky, but definitly getting rather trancy at times, this is a pretty good 'un. Prahaps *slightly* too mainstream for me, but there you go.


Review:
A handful of fairly lightweight garagy trax plus a 3 or 4 Happy Classics gives this one a "nothing special" tag IMHO.


Review:
Camp as anything this one! Definitly "disco" House music!! If you like yer House music trashy, you will lurrve this CD.…


Review:
Danny starts this one off fairly mellow & happy, before getting progressivly harder 'till the style is getting more towards {the softer end of} techno. Very few naff trax on this one- they're almost all good banging HappyHouse really!


Review:
Gentle Housey/Soul sounds on this one- Quite nice mellow listening, but thare's hardly *one* track that really stands out.


Review:
One or two classic HappyHouse trax, quite a handful of O.K. Happy trax......Not offensive but nuffink spesh.


RecordName:
House Funkin' (Escapade JAPECD 102) 1994

Review:
Staying more towards the deeper end of house there are some quite nice & funky trax on this one, but there are also rather alot of naff fillers.…


Review:
Got many of the HappyHouse classics of '93 on, this one!! A couple of fillers, but mostly good uppy & energetic!!


RecordName:
Non-stop europe express TWA (Escapade JAPECD 101)1993

Review:
Some fairly camp & trashy house on this one, and quite a few nice & uppy HappyHouse numbers. A fairly high proportion of naff trax, 'tho.…


Review:
Most of the tracks on this mix are doing the rounds in the clubs at the moment, & there are not really any nasty filler tracks in there for you to have to fast forward through!!! A "must have" for them who like House happy & not too hard!!!!


Review:
100% HappyHouse, many of the better Happytrax from '94 infact. a few fillers, but overall pretty good!


RecordName:
Handraizer UK-Tall Paul Newmann.(Moonshine mm80015-2)1994

Review:
100% HappyHouse!!! Virtually no fillers- just the trax the clubs actually *play*.


RecordName:
Revolutions- Live with LuvDup. (Sony CD HIGH 1)

Review:
Nothing inspirational in this one really...…


RecordName:
Fantazia-Twice as nice. Graeme Park & mike 'C'(FANTA002RCD)1993

Review:
Disk 1 hovers somwhere between Techno, Hardcore & Hard House sounds. Plenty of energy in this one, & several classic trax. Disc 2 is altogether more ambient (play this one when U get back in from the club!) I quite like this CD- particuarly Disc 1.


RecordName:
Journeys by DJ- Jon Digweed (Music unites)1994

Review:
Quite a nice silky house mix this one, on the softer side of HardHouse 'tho...Cool.


Review:
This CD starts *really* slowly, & gradually builds the sound, somehow getting really intense without resorting to "sledgehammer tactics" Genuinly very different to 99% of the DJ mixes on the rack at yer local record store. Get it coz it's totally brilliant!!!! {I mean that!}


RecordName:
Carry on Harthouse- the greatest Harthouse trousers. (Harthouse EYE UK CD 003)

Review:
A collection of stuff released under the german Harthouse label. General quality of stuff on this CD is well good- quite spartan & uncluttered sounding, a bit of a mixture of boom! in yer face & slower, more ambient trax- definitly reccomended!


RecordName:
DJ's at work- Graeme Park (Pimp music PIMP2)1995

Review:
Parky mixes an *excellent* selection of tracks, hard & uplifting, until track 8 anyway where it all sort of slows down.....{& don't U hate it when that happens????} I swich it off after track 8 #:-)


RecordName:
The House Collection Vol 2 D.J's Boy George, Jon of the pleased wimmin & tony de vit(FHC 002CD)1995

Review:
You don't have to listen very hard to like any of these mixes- they all get the adrenalin going just as well as these DJ's do in the clubs!!! Last time I played the Tony de vit one {My favorite} myself & friends all ended up bouncing around the lounge!! O.K, so we'd had a bit to drink, but isn't that what House music is supposed to do??????? The style is more at the happy end of HardHouse on this collection- all *Most* eXcellent, 'tho!!!


RecordName:
Renaissance. The mix collection part 2 1995

Review:
And *another* 3 CD set of totally seamless Digweed mixing hits the streets!! Not entirely dissimilar to the first Renaissance set, this ones really rather good!! The overall sound is basically sort of Hard House garagy trance, the first CD is a quite light & a bit garagy, the second one starts getting into slightly more hardhouse sounds though it never really gets *that* hard, and the third one's is a bit more mellow/trancy. Whilst there isn't anything here that really stands out as a excellent track IMHO, the general quality of the stuff is really pretty high & beutifully mixed. Good chillout stuff really! If you liked the first set, you'll probably like this one too!


RecordName:
Return to the source- Deep trance & ritual beats.(Pyramid records RTTS CD1)

Review:
This 2 CD set contains some really excellent goa style trance!! The 1 st CD is a *quite* fast & busy, the second is really slow & ambient by comparison. Put the 2nd CD on, & feel your brain relax & expand!!! {I don't know *how* I lived without it!} #:-)


RecordName:
Hallucinogen- Twisted (Dragonfly BFLCD 15)1995

Review:
Each & every track on this CD is hard, intense & beutifully intricate Goa trance. Don't sit here reading this, just GO OUT THERE & BUY IT!!!


Review:
I'd describe the stuff on this CD as "Hard" Trance, and there are some well cool trax on it, full of all them lurrvely acidy "squelchy" noises!!!!{Yum!} One after another after another....#:-)


RecordName:
Trance Atlantic Highways Vol 4 (ESP9195-2)1994

Review:
Most of the tracks on this one are pretty damm good really, whilst the style of most of the stuff on here is fairly laid back, it is quite funky & is not so ambient that you could not have a good dance to it!!! Buy it- I would if I didn't have it already!


Review:
Most of the traks on this CD are pretty cool, & it even contains a couple of my most favorite techno trax of '94! {You must have noticed what happens on the floor when the DJ puts on Schoneberg by Marmion??} #:-)


Review:
Call me old fashioned, but I like Techno that makes me want to wack the volume up to maxx & go bouncing 'round the lounge. Virtually none of the traks on this CD make me want to do that, all exept Access by DJ Misjah & DJ Tim.{Which does it every time....} This {as you probably already know} is THE BEST techno/Nu energy track of '95!!! Worth buying the CD just for this one, really!! #:-)


RecordName:
Trade Vol 1 DJ's Tony de vit & Malcom Duffy. (FVRCD1001) 1995

Review:
My favorite techno CD of the moment this one. Given that Trade was recently described as "the best dance club in the world" I suppose you'd expect thier CD to be ok really.......The style of techno is not that hard {as Techno goes!} but is nonethless pretty energetic & wound up!


Review:
I've heard Carl Cox reffered to more often as "God" than his real name- I'm not sure if this mix is quite worthy of that title but it's a good 'un! As seems to be usual with these things, a few classic tracks thrown in with a load of pretty decent ones, & the odd naff one too..


RecordName:
Mrs Wood teaches techno (REACTCD14) 1993

Review:
Mrs Wood has not sacrificed attitude for broad appeal on this mix. Hard, gritty & fabulous!


Review:
At the acidy/trancy end of techno this one, and whilst it is all quite nice 'n hard, unfortunatly there are only a very few trax which are *really* worth listening to..…


RecordName:
Ruff, Rad & Ready- DJ Swift & MC G.Q. (HLRRCD1)1995

Review:
The first CD includes vocals by MC G.Q. laid over some fairly mellow jungle tracks. I'm not that keen on this one myself, I think I'd rather hear it without the vocals. The second CD is done without MC G.Q. and is quite nice fairly laid-back jungle, my favorite out of the two!! This wrekkord is O.K. but really nuffink spesh IMHO, 'tho..…


RecordName:
DJ's Delite Vol. 3- DJ Brisk (DBMTRCD22)1995

Review:
Hard pumping uppy happy hardcore!! Cor!! What a stomper!!! #:-) {Stomp, Stomp, Stomp!!!} Dosen't quite keep the energy going *all* the way through, but damm good nonetheless!! Don't play it whilst you're driving yer car or you'll crash!


RecordName:
DJ's Delite Vol. 1- DJ Vibes (TROOPCD006)1994

Review:
I've tried to kick this one to death by playing it 100 times a week for the last 6 months & failed!!! HappyHardcore just as I like it, {yes it's happy, folks!!!} and did I say how happy it is??? The style is not really ultra-hard, but it's good......


RecordName:
Drum & Bass selection 5 (BDRCD 009) 1995

Review:
This one's great- particuarily disc 1 where I find myself liking *all* the tracks!!! Not what I'd call "life threatning" Jungle, but as I'm not too keen on "life threatening" jungle that's fine by me! Well... turn up the bass & prahaps is a *bit* life-threatening!! #:-)


Review:
This CD is very ambient, a Jungle backbeat has been fused with various styles ranging from Acid Jazz to ambient trance. Whilst there are some really excellent traks on this CD, there are also some rather boring ones...…


Review:
Some great older Jungle/hardcore on this one, together with some of those techno classics from '92!!.....…


Review:
Hardly the harder side of Hardcore this mix (even for 1992!), some good old stuff on it 'tho!!!


Review:
Aside from the nice packaging (and that is what we buy them for isn't it, the packaging?. . . . No?!?!) this has the added bonus of bieng a nice CD to listen to as well. A fairly spartan, minimalist style is maintained throughout, this stuff is at the faster end of deep house. The tracks are mostly pretty excellent, and few of them really make any concessions for broad appeal.


Review:
I wasn't really too sure which section to put this one, the music style swishes through most of the styles listed on this site- (have a look at the volume and variaty of different tracks mixed into this CD) Coldcut somehow managing to mix a completely new creation out of the combination of Jungle, Deep House, Hip-Hop, Televison theme tunes- you name it. It's *well* weird, it's also a total masterpiece & you'd be mad not 2 buy it IMHO!!!
