Advantages: A good mixture of tracks , for all moods!
Disadvantages: A tough act to follow , this gem !

...closer inspection the cd contains 18 tracks ,with an inlay of more pictures of Moby in similar circumstances. There is also an essay on mobys thoughts and beliefs and how it influenced his choices in making this cd. Something he takes seriously . The tracks themselves are a good mixture of old style Moby meets new , with the familiar instrumental strings, beats, samples and on this cd gospel thrown in as the main feature! So here is the order ...
...piano riff throughout. 12. 18 - Another lovely tune , instrumental with piano and strings , very calming influence. Again nice to rest to. 13. Sleep alone - Moby laments in this and is quite a slow piece. Probably the track Im most likely to skip . 14. At least we tried - A lady sings with melancholy about love . 15. Harbour - The longest track on the cd , with the vocal talents of Sinead o conner , haunting tune with strings . 16. Look back ... Read review

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Some relatively old tunes

Id like to tell you about this little album I stumbled across the other day! It has 3 CDs full of great tunes, some commercial ones such as Sandstorm by Darude and Operation Blade by Public Domain, which you may already have, but there are lots of others that you may not have heard before, such as Illusion by Antarctica and Book of Revelation by Ovation, 40 tracks in all. All of the tunes on the CD are absolutely bangin', and with a price tag of ... Read review

Advantages: Nice variation of electro, house, disco and techno
Disadvantages: Camp overtone

One of the many infamous DJ Kicks albums, this one from the electro king of camp - Tiga. Tiga's, from Canada been around for many years, owns his own electro/house label called Turbo. I have been a fan of his music and mix CD's since I started gaining an interest in electroinc music. Some of his early CD's and productions were more on a techno vibe with his latest stuff on the more electro housey tip. Anyhow, this DJ Kicks installation is an oldy ...
...in the series. The style of it is mainly electro house with hints of disco and techno thrown into the mix, all tracks seemlessly mixed together in a nice progressive order. There is also quite a camp element in the album as he is prone to getting on the mic and singing a few lyrics. This is apparent in Miss Kitten's classic 'Madame Hollywood' which he has changed to 'Mr Hollywood' with the addition of some pretty camp lyrics but still quirky and ... Read review

Advantages: All top tracks
Disadvantages: None

...I preferred instead to buy classic albums (such as the Annual 4, Trance Nation 4 etc...), but this CD really does break the mould. This CD unlike all of the others around has 3 CD's packed with TOP tracks, rather than 20 - 25 great tracks and 15 - 35 filler tracks on all of the other classic albums. I would definetely recommend this to any other trance fan. Especially fans of 98 - 02 (when IMO Trance was at its finest). In conclusion - TOP CD ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant diversity, pioneering filtered French electronics
Disadvantages: NOTHING!

This is Daft Punk's first and by far the best album they have released to date. It is by the far the least commercial and most underground release as the newer releases like 'Discovery' tend to go a bit on the poppy side which is expected due to their success. If you like that filtered French house sound this album ticks all the boxes. As well as the distinct sound theres lots of variation with some of the tracks bordering on techno. Favourite Tracks: ...
...tracks of all time - funky and fresh Da Funk - Twisted downbeatish sort of breaks track - awesome video also Burnin' - Filtery and funky house track - definitely a pioneer with the likes of Junior Jack and numerous other house producers following the trend.
