Customer Reviews
What type of music? I'll tell you....
This three cd set is awesome, i randomly bought it one day, and have been better since. I enjoy it because it is a very mellow set, it has all types of music, from Moby's Bodyrock, to the mellow Sunset by Fatboy Slim. There are many great hits. In general the music is not very tinny and cheesy, like the partyboy music in MTV's Jackass, nor is it slow and mellow stuff you'd find in "world" music sections, however it is a very nice mix in between. I listen to moby, paul oakenfold, louie devito, fatboy slim, rob zombie, etc. and this cd is perfect. Its worth the money
Good value but unfortunately not great music...
Ok, first of all, I'm not particularly a club music connoisseur, which puts me at a bit of a bias for rating this album. I love good trance and have a handful of favorite club mixes of my favorite trance tunes, but this album just did not appeal to me much. Perhaps other club music fans will disagree but I just really think there is much better club music out there and I'm not sure that much of this stuff will make any club's top ten mix. The album doesn't have that hardcore jump and pump the music feel to it. The melodies don't grab, a lot of the arrangements are monotonous and less than emotional. I just couldn't get into this one. I'm trying hard to be nice here and not say that it totally ....
Having said that, there are some good selections scattered throughout the CD's. The best part about this set is that you get three long play CD's with individual tracks of music (not mixed together like DJ albums) and the price is nice. If you happen to find a few favorites then it might almost be worth the money spent for the compilation. I'm just bummed that I spent as much as I did considering that there was almost nothing here to appeal to my musical interests.
In conclusion I will say that if you're a club music lover you might dig this album. There are a lot of songs included at a very affordable price (and a couple of them are pretty cool). For me personally though, I have to say that my three star rating is mostly given in light of the value and quantity of music, not the quality of music. There was almost nothing here I enjoyed listening to and, while I may copy off a song or two to place in a CD mix of my own, this set will not get a lot of replay out of me. If you enjoy melodic or progressive trance, techno or euro dance music I think you will agree with me; this album is just not that interesting. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being high) I give it a weak 2 and three stars is almost too generous.
Good Value for Good Music
First of all, it is the rare box set that will earn five stars ... especially one with a whopping 45 tracks! However, this set come pretty close. And, unlike other box dance/techno sets, this is 3 CDs of tracks--no "megamix" here! The three CDS have some well-known gems on it scattered thoughout, such as Fat Boy Slim's "Bird of Prey" and the ubiquitous Moby's "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad." But along with those tracks you will find 43 other songs that, while they may be less well-known to American audiences, are consistently good. I've played the set through 3-4 times and haven't ever raced to pick up the remote and skip a track. There's nothing too trance-y, nothing down-beat, nothing with obnoxious-nerve-grating effects.
If you are looking for a good collection of dance tracks, you can do a lot worse than this set.
