the best of 07'.......2007-07-09

Considering the previous 'state of trance' experiences, I was expecting a good one from Armin.. But this is way beyond it..

The concept of CD1 and CD2 perfectly fit the sound inside them..

The first CD would be a perfect companion on an 'after sun' session watching the sunset on the beach.. A smooth vocal trance.. (Actually the first two songs tell the story :)

The cd opens with 'Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Light The Skies (Retrobyte's Classic Electrobounce Mix)', follwed by 'Chris Lake feat. Emma Hewitt - Carry Me Away'..

No need to tell the rest for CD1.. You can easily imagine them, if I give you a couple of names.. Kirsty Hawkshaw, DJ Sash, Kyau & Albert, Jennifer Rene.. etc.. A perfect warm up for a summer night..

CD2 is darker.. It opens with 2 Armin songs 'Miserere' and 'Rush Hour', which set the dark club sound - especially compared with the first CD.. The first 30 mins goes with non vocal trance.. Dark but very uplifting.. Markus Schulz, Mike Foyle, Lost Witness are a couple of names I can mention for the rest..
And it closes with one of the top djs of recent times - Sean Tyas.. another great work from him after the 'Lift'..

In short.. Fantastic compilation.. Don't miss it.. I'm sure most of us will enjoy the CD all through the summer..

Top Trance Album of 2007 By Far.......2007-07-07

I am a big fan of the prestigious DJs for their incredible talent on putting together such amazing mixes, but Armin is by far the most developed DJ and one of the most talented DJs in the world. This album is purely amazing... CD #1 (On The Beach) has songs with such amazing melody and incredible vocals that just gives you goosebumps. CD #2 (The Club) contains more upbeat and progressive songs and remixes. CD #1 is my favorite cd out of the two mainly because of the seductive vocals but overall this whole album is phenomenal.

I've had this album for two weeks now and I've been playing it everyday and I still haven't gotten sick of it! Armin has developed so much and right now he's on fire. Tiesto and PVD have deserved the #1 ranking in years past but AVB is getting my vote for #1 DJ for the DJ Mag rankings. Long live AVB!

Best trance album since the halcyon days of 99'.......2007-07-04

Disc one is simply amazing. I have not heard such a consistent and inspiring mix since Oakenfold's peak in the late ninties. I have never much cared for AVB in the past but have always kept on top of his ASOT mixes as they always tended to bring out some good tracks here and there. But with disc one of this album AVB went WAY beyond anything he has ever done before. This album is an instant classic. A State of Trance 2007 is THE must have album of 2007. Read the other reviews, they pretty well say it all. You will not be dissapointed.

A State of Trance 2007.......2007-06-26

I can't really add a lot to the other reviews. But what I can say is this: If you were going to buy make one trance purchase this year, Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2007" should be it.

There is a seemingly unending supply of trance/ dance/ electronica CD's out there for purchase. It's impossible for me to keep up with them. I imagine it's impossible for a new listener to know what to buy. But you can never go wrong with Armin van Buuren's State of Trance series.

It's basically the gold standard for trance music. So pick it up. It's solid from start-to-finish over both discs, which is an impressive feat. I dare you to put this on and not be moving in your seat, tapping your feet, feeling it! Good stuff!

Very Trancepiring..............2007-06-24

This is the best state of trance series complilation to date...This is what I had been waiting for...First cd is hands down one of the best progressive trance cd's that I have heard with 8 vocals!!!! WOW!! I listened to cd # 2 which still hasn't grown on me yet mainly because Cd#1 is so fr*eakin' goood!!! CD # 2 hardly has any vocals and some tracks are weaker than the others unlike CD # 1 that has all superb tracks...It will be interesting to see the next In Search of Sunrise CD from Tiesto to top this one...5 stars go to CD # 1 alone!!!

Elements Of Life Bonustrack : He's A Pirate (Tiësto Remix)

Amazon.com

Tiësto sticks to his guns on a new album of original compositions that follows 2004's Just Be. Elements of Life strikes a satisfying balance between inventive vocal tracks and signature trance stormers: "Ten Seconds Before Sunrise," "Driving to Heaven," and "Bright Morning Star" all glow with the Dutchman's epic sound, one that is simultaneously haunting and uplifting. On the vocal side, the soaring energy of "Break My Fall," which features BT on vocals, will not disappoint fans of the duo's prior work on "Just Be" and other collaborations. To be sure, there are a number of less convincing pieces as well: "Dance4Life" with Faithless's Maxi Jazz falls flat, and the lyrics of "Can You Feel Me" prove that the genre's reputation for banal wordsmithing is not entirely undeserved. For the most part, however, these weaker moments are outweighed by the stronger tracks. Principal among these is undoubtedly "Sweet Things"--in which Charlotte Martin's vocal high-wire act is complemented by some exceptional programming--a track that is sure to receive a great many spins by DJs around the globe and yet further proof that when it comes to bringing alive the female voice for the dancefloor, Tiësto remains without equal. All in all, it's a safe bet that many of Tiësto's Elements will be making their way into DJ crates and MP3 players alike. --Brent Kallmer

Album Description

TiÃ«sto is undeniably one of the greatest DJ talents of this era. Internationally recognized as the world's premier DJ and producer, TiÃ«sto continually takes electronic music to the next level - pushing boundaries with his addictive and creative trance creations. With his prior album releases enjoying outstanding success in the States, the time has come for his next installment: ELEMENTS OF LIFE. This record includes brilliant collaborations from the likes of BT, Maxi Jazz (Faithless) and other incredible female vocalists; a stunning collection of uplifting trance ensues. Supporting this release with performances at Coachella, WMC and an extensive national tour through Summer 07, Elements of Life will be THE electronic album of 2007.

Tiësto is Tiësto.......2007-07-11

After Just Be, I didn't have too high expectations of this album, even though I did like Just Be. This album doesn't have slow tracks, the vocal performances are just great. All songs fit his style and a couple of them may remind you his first hits.

Music to Write Code By.......2007-07-05

Another good addition to a long playlist of trance electronica I listen to while writing code. Thanks, D.J. Tiesto!

Simply Great.......2007-07-05

One of the best Tiesto CD's I've had the pleasure of owning. It has been playing on repeat for a week now and I haven't gotten tired of it. "Sweet Things" is one of my favs on it. The teme from Pirates of the Caribean is awesome too.

Dissapointing coming from Tiesto........2007-07-04

I expected better of Tiesto, but his decline continues with Elements of Life. Some of the tracks (like Sweet Things) were just bad. Terrible vocals, poor sounding in general. Let PVD and AVB take over; they deserve to. They continue to produce quality stuff. Tiesto has just finally began to choke on his ego, and it will be the eventual complete demise of him. Tiesto is more concerned about spreading his name, and doesn't spend enough time in the studio. He has basically forgotten about the music that has famed him. AVB does a weekly radio show and keeps on top of everything Trance. Tiesto keeps on top of himself, and nothing more.

Great Buy!!!.......2007-07-03

This one is a must have for all tiesto fans. The samples do justice so listen to it before you buy the album. Tiesto likes experimenting like he did with this one. The album starts off with a melodic mix and transitions into more proggy, core tracks. Overall good buy, highly recommended

The boys at Anjunabeats--who in their collective DJ persona go by Above & Beyond--have probably done more than any other outfit to reinvigorate the genre of trance in the last five years. This is largely thanks to their mix compilations, which have featured talents like Gabriel & Dresden, Kyau & Albert, and Smith & Pledger. So it's a bit difficult to explain how these tastemakers could see fit to include a track peppered with a geek-speak warning that laptop overheating results in decreased battery life (Chunk & Twist's "Battery Life"). But such oddness is soon forgotten with the entrance of "Essence," a predictably excellent effort from Jaytech with plenty of swing. Disc 1 also features Joonas Hahmo's "Together," an effervescent fusion of house and trance elements that works like a charm. Disc 2 leaves the gate with Maor Levi's "Shapes"--whose splice-and-dice vocals nod to James Holden's seminal remix of "Nothing"--followed by Marc Marberg and Kyau & Albert's "Megashira," a must-spin track that is electro on the outside and trance on the inside (and features an absolutely stellar breakdown). Volume 5 is the most electro-influenced installment of Anjunabeats yet, but Above & Beyond are careful to use the harder-edged stuff as a springboard to give their trademark euphoric material even greater effect. --Brent Kallmer

Customer Reviews:

Great, uplifting trance.......2007-06-30

Confirming what most of the previous reviews have reported..this 2 disc set really is a great mix by Above/Beyond with lots of uplifting tunes, beats, and melodies. I would go as far as saying that there are no bad tracks on this entire mix. If you're a fan of trance, anything by AvB or PvD, or are looking to get into trance, I would suggest this Volume 5 mixed by Above and Beyond.

Quite possibly the best trance compilation so far this year........2007-06-30

I just recently got into the Anjunabeats compilations and I gotta say, they damn near leave A State Of Trance in the dust. Not that they're bad, mind you, it's just that they're the CDs to get if you're really into euphoric and progressive trance (even though ASOT 2007 was a little more dissapointing than 2006). 2 new Tranquility Base trax, Above & Beyond's club mix of Home, Super 8 & Tab, and one of the purest tracks I've heard in 2007, Evbointh's One Wish? What more do you want?! It's already got me looking foward to volume 6 (Gee, thanks a lot, Above & Beyond!)

Get ready to be happy, uplifted.......2007-06-17

I have been very impressed with the great work of Above & Beyond since I first heard their masterful "Air for Life." Since then they have continued to produce genre defining trance music. I had high expectations for this album and wasn't disappointed. This two CD treasure has two and a half hours of moving, beautiful, euphoric music that has left me wanting to hear the album over and over again. It's perfect for dancing, driving, relaxing. The strength of this album convinces me that in a couple of years Above & Beyond will be vying for the top spot with the likes of Armin van Buuren and Tiesto. In many ways, this compilation is better than anything Tiesto or van Buuren have come up with, and that's saying a lot as I have well enjoyed their respective mixes. Hats off to Above & Beyond for making great music. They keep the beats...and smiles coming.
Every song on this album is fantastic. Rarely does one encounter a trance album where every song just flows with the next song, and every song is a song that you want to replay after you hear it but, on Anjunabeats 5, Above & Beyond have managed to compile a collection of 26 great songs. Literally all of them are great. I seldom can rave about an album where every song is great, but this album is that exception. Not to rave too much but some of standout faves for the first disc are the opening and closing songs, "Zeppelin" (an emotional, energetic, synth-driven melody) and "Good for Me" ( a gorgeous club mix of the original that is thankfully close to eight minutes long for full effect). Other highlights on this disc for me were the catchy "Battery Life," the infectious grooves of "My Name is Jacques," the flourishes on "Formalistick" and the bouncy feel of songs like "Together" and "Spacelift." On CD two my favorite track is "Shapes" but I also loved the atmospheric "One Night in Tokyo" the expansive "Megashira," the cinematic "Oceanic" and also "Make Me Believe" and "Suru." Every other song is fantastic too.
Thank you Above & Beyond for giving me something to actually enjoy listening too this summer. I'm sure this album will be in my player for a very long time.

True pioneers of uplifting melodic, euphoric trance......!!!!.......2007-06-16

The voluem 5 installment is a mesmerizing journey of such brilliance, that you will want hear every song over and over again. I've never experienced such jaw-dropping ectatic energy, ever since I popped these masterpiece gems in my car...!

Awesome !!! .......2007-06-11

Brilliant stuff from Above & Beyond. They continue to exceed expectations and have done so again with Anjunabeats Volume 5. Both disc 1 and disc 2 are brilliant with disc 1 being more progressive and disc 2 packed with uplifting and melodic trance tunes, simply beautiful. Can't really chose my favourite tracks as they are all brilliant. Buy this album now, you won't regret it. Great track selection and great mixing. Well done Above & Beyond, Well done!!

Amazon.com

His band Jane's Addiction helped grease the alternative-rock skids as the '80s hit the '90s, and Perry Farrell--pushing 50--now aims for a new decade and another century. The ethereal artist's revelry of contributors to his latest project includes one-named artists Flea and Fergie, Peter Hook (ex-New Order), and a creepy posthumous appearance by Jim Morrison. That's right: leave it to Farrell, creator of rock festival Lollapalooza and some of his genre's most impulsive music, to dust off the Lizard King, whose healthy vocal slinks and slides beneath the baiting, rhythmic lyric "Just try and stop us/We're going to love" (complete with a Ray Manzarek-like organ riff at the bridge). The novelty of "Woman in the Window" will undoubtedly generate the most attention. But Farrell's Satellite Party leaves plenty more on the table, channeling the punk-and-metal command of Jane ("Kinky," "Insanity Rains") with some of the pop sparkle of his Porno for Pyros ("Hard Life Easy," "The Solutionists"), while tossing in a couple of choice covers to boot: Rare Earth's "Just Wanna Celebrate" and the Bee Gees' "Lonely Days," recast as "Mr. Sunshine." --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

Don't think Jane's Addiction!.......2007-07-10

I'll start by saying I'm a huge Perry Farrell fan. I'm into his work with Jane's Addiction the most (I think the live, self-titled album is their greatest work). Satellite Party- Ultra Payloaded is definately upbeat and funky throughout- but I prefer the Perry Farrell that can be upbeat and funky as well as racy, deep and cutting edge. You don't get that side of his art in the lyrics on this album. "Wish Upon A Dog Star" is an obvious hit single attempt- all hooks, no substance. Perry is an incredibly talented writer and it saddens me to say his writing seems to have taken a step back on this album- the lyrics are under-developed and sing-song. Possibly some influence from Nuno (Extreme) may have caused the music on this album to be a lot "lighter" than what fans of Perry's music are really craving. There is some interesting guitar and bass work on the album, but nothing mind-blowing. The album is mediocre to good- better than that local band your sister raves about, not NEAR the calibur of Jane's Addiction or even Porno For Pyros. All that said, I have full faith that I will enjoy the material from this album a heck of a lot more when I see it performed live- Perry's just that great of a performer!

begining of something .......2007-06-20

i hope this marks the begining of a new avenue for perry ...this sound could provide a rich texture much like janes did for all of us years ago . this a good cd more like 3 1/2 stars but not a 3 . not a waste of money . good house party tracks on here as well as some good stuff to add to your playlist . i would recommend it , great summer music....not angry like janes was ...but that fit the time much like this does...

This is a fun album.....and Nuno plays on it!.......2007-06-14

Perry Farrell has created a fun album of funky tunes that make you want to dance. He's supported by a good group of musicians who help him bring the songs to life. Most notable of these musicians is one of the most awesome guitar players the world has ever known - Nuno Bettencourt! Nuno also helped with production duties, clearly helping to give the songs that funky groove he's well known for and adding a few great guitar riffs and solos here and there to spice things up. It's safe to say that this album is not groundbreaking in any way but it certainly offers you some good sounds and fun grooves to help liven up your next party. Favourite songs include the groovy "Wish Upon a Dogstar" and "Celebrate" which has a bit of an Extreme (Nuno's former band) influence to it and the nice mid-album ballad "Awesome". Play it loud and have some fun!

Party on a commercial space flight.......2007-06-13

What would a party be like on a commercial space flight? What would the music sound like? These are the questions Perry Farrell would like you to answer by listening to his Satellite Party. You know when you look at the night sky with all the constellations, and there's one star apart from the rest? That's where Perry claims the party is. Ultra Payloaded collectively contains elements as old as symphony and as modern as electronic programming.

Without Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme) on guitar, the music wouldn't fit the name. Nuno's style is perfect for the Satellite Party name, bringing funky riffs and radiant solos to the space flight table. As expected, Perry Farrell's voice is still unique. Featured appearances on this album which bring a poppy and alternative flavor are John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Peter Hook (New Order), and Fergie (Black Eyed Peas). Nearing the end of the album, a nice surprise is "Woman In The Window," with spoken word never before released by the late Jim Morrison.

While Perry Farrell's Satellite Party won't make as big of a splash as Jane's Addiction has, it's more impressive than Porno for Pyros and certainly worth the listen for Farrell fans.

Perry and Nuno team-up .......2007-06-11

The idea of Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell forming a band with Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt may seem a bit odd to some at first. After all, Ferrell is seen as an "alternative," "arty" rocker, whereas Bettencourt is mostly known for his top-40 hit "More than Words." However, the two joining forces isn't so odd if you think about it. Although Extreme is seen as a "pop-metal" band, they really were much more than that--as the band was highly ambitious, as the progressive "III Sides to Every Story" shows. Nuno and Farrell may have attracted different audiences, but their art-rock, progressive ambitions are qualities that the two share.

"Ultra Payloaded" (2007) sounds like what one might expect--Jane's Addiction meets "III Sides" era Extreme--spacey, arty, funky, poppy, ambitious, and melodic-- with a lot of cool solos. The album is highly, highly up-beat and celebratory--hence the name Satellite "party." While the album may not yield anything classic like "Been Caught Steeling" (Jane's Addiction) or "He-Man-Women-Hater," (Extreme) this album is a hell of a lot of fun. I actually think "Satellite Party" makes for a great drinking album; the kind of CD to sit back, relax, and have a few shots of JD or beers too. Some of these songs have orchestration and several musicians make guest appearances--Flea, John Frusciante (RHCP) Peter Hook, (New Order) Fergie (Black Eye Peas) to name a few, (Jim Morrison even makes an appeacrence in the closing "Women in the Window") yet none of this bogs down the album the way it could and everything works just fine.

In a nutshell, "Satellite Party" is a really fun, up-beat album that fans of both Extreme and Jane's Addiction will dig.

Ferry Corsten - Passport to the USA.......2007-06-28

Let me say that Ferry Corsten's newest release "Passport to the United States of America" is Good, but it just didn't really blow me away. I thought his Passport Netherlands was stronger.

Passport USA is solid but never really reaches epic trance status. It gets in the ballpark, but never really made me go "wow" for any extended period of time. Plus you're paying quite a bit of money for only one disc of music. I could do without the DVD if the album cost less.

There are TONS of other trance/ dance/ electronica discs out there. I would skip this and get Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2007" instead.

One of Ferry's Best.......2007-06-25

Certainly a great mix. Although it's unfortunately only 1 disk, Ferry still delivers a well balanced collection of the recently popular electro-sounding progressive trance in addition to the high pumping synth lines that Corsten does best.

Armin breaks loose in 2006.......2007-02-14

Armin van Buuren's style, from the countless mixes/broadcasts I have heard him put out, tends to waver with inconsistency. I think A State of Trance 2006 is where Armin finally hits his stride and is able to keep up with his own work.

Disc 1 (On The Beach) is a really great opening disc. Whether you find yourself rocking to and fro in a hammock or grooving enthusiastically in the sand & summer sun, this CD acts as a nice soundtrack. More atmospheric and spacey, Armin illustrates his grasp of the wheel when he proves himself able to incorporate some type of a pulse - sometimes surprisingly quick and hard - into this kind of "spaced" motif. In other words, On The Beach is not by any stretch of the imagination something ambient, and yet it is. The unobtrusive bpm simply propels the music, which takes the forefront, onward.

Disc 2 (At The Club) is where Armin has been known to shine; crazy, pulsating dance-floor-destroyer melodic trance comes pumping out of the speakers the minute the laser hits the disc. It doesn't become boring, and thankfully the vocals were really kept to a tolerable minimum in this mix. At The Club reminds me a lot of the frenetic, almost breakbeat melodic trance Armin dished out with his ASoT:2004, only this flows much better, linearly instead of jagged peaks and valleys. I loved ASoT:2004, but sometimes the lack of careful mixing or track placement makes it too hectic too enjoy - even on the dance floor, if you can believe that one.

I feel like Armin's been tinkering with stylistic techniques during the previous State of Trance mixes - 2004 & 2005. I loved both, but each went off in some undesirable direction at some point and never quite seemed able to return to base. Armin seems to have taken the warmer from 2004 and the cooler from 2005 and rightly combined them to produce 2006; highlighting his electronica capabilities with flying colors and putting forth a set in which BOTH discs are equally as desirable.

....No doubt this puts Armin back on the maps, even after releases like '76' temporarily took him off of my own. A great all-around CD to own, especially for Armin fans but also those of The Thrillseekers, Tiesto and Solarstone.

Excellent Trance Set !.......2007-02-08

The Trance style of music is something new to me.So,I took a chance on this CD set and I have to say it's exactly what I was looking for. Both CD's are EXCELLENT in my opinion.I liked it so well I bought AVB's CD set - 10 Years - which I also feel is an Excellent set.

Armin is simply the best.......2007-02-06

I won't go into a lot of detail here, but both of these disks are pretty amazing. The first one starts out somewhat slow, but then it builds into quite an energetic masterpiece. The second disk is pretty mind blowing throughout. I listened to the second disk first because the sub-title (In the club) drew my attention more. After listening to that disk about 25 times, I finally listened to the first disk, subtitled (At the beach) and to my surprise, after listening to it one or two times, I found myself liking it even more than the first. No way around it, if you like Trance, you have to buy this two disk set, it's as simple as that.

Good Service.......2007-01-24

Thanks, the response was prompt and adequate! appreciate the sincerity of the description.

Nicely done ULTRA.......2007-05-29

Had this CD set for a few months now and I love most of the songs. Ultra has done a nice compilation of remixes.

A mixed bag.......2007-04-03

Ok, I normally don't buy mainstream compilation releases because most of them sound to "cookie-cutter" for my tastes. After listening to a few samples, I decided to give this 2 CD set a try. Unfortunately its basically a tale of two halves. CD 1 on my opinion is pretty bad and cookie cutter to boot. Disc 2 was above average for the most part. Defitetly much more hints of house on CD 2.

Ultra Dance, Vol.8.......2007-03-27

I love this series and this CD is no exception. It is a great CD with great songs. I love all the remixes. This is one of my favorites. I own all the ultra dance CDs.

good stuff.......2007-03-19

I like this, especially the Eric Prydz track, which is hot. I've recently just got into dance music and I love the Ultra compilations and also the compilations on iTunes called "euro club hits vol. 1" and "euro club hits vol. 2"

Ultra Dance Vol. 8 is GREAT!.......2007-03-09

My roommate and I both really like this music set. We recently went to Mexico and a shop owner heard it coming from our rental car and bought it from us on the spot! I reordered it as soon as I got home!

fantastic.......2007-06-29

Simply the best trance album of 2006. Listening to the whole album, one can enjoy a definitive experience of "future sound of trance" . Hard to pick a favorite, but one thing is for sure : "Air for Life" will be a true trance classic.

Soft .......2007-06-02

I have heard these guys play before live there are off the chain . It was a little to soft for me But ok . I think they put way to many vocal songs on the cd but over all they did a good job . It was ok but not the best cd over all put in 2006 far from it .

Best CD of 2006!!!!.......2007-05-21

Brand new, thanks! This is the best CD I bought in over a year. A totally cool, chill-out CD. My girlfriend loves it too.

Gracias amigo

HELP I CAN'T STOP PLAYING IT!!.......2007-03-12

Oh my god, this cd is simply awesome. It is relaxing and upbeat at the same time. I can play it in the car on my way to work when I'm stuck in traffic, or at home at night when I dim the lights, it fits both environments. My best songs are mostly the vocal ones.

Stealing Time- I can relate to the songs lyrics
Can't Sleep- Very etheral vocals, heavenly!
Hope, and Liquid Love- nice instrumentals, flows well with Can't sleep
Alone Tonight- clever lyrics in this song

Overall the album is great and is one of the most unique CD's in my collection.

One of the best cds I own.......2007-03-10

Excellent cd as others have noted.
Most of the tracks are great.

Standouts are: Air for Life, and: Can't Sleep. They are simply superb. Great music with variations of driving beats and soft interludes. Female vocals that are almost hypnotic.

Track: Good for me, is great as well. Soft, with great vocals.

Most of the other tracks are very good, but as noted by one of the other reviewers, I did not like voice of the male singer(s) on what otherwise would have been very good, if not great, songs.

Great CD from a now defunct band.........2007-07-03

It's an awesome CD, it features great vocals, and amazing arrangements, it is really a party CD, since when you play it, you can really enjoy some of the best eurodance/dance pop music there is.

This CD, can really change your mood if you're depressed, and turn you into a party animal

Great CD! I Recommend!.......2007-03-10

I love this group! I love this cd, and the seller sent very promptly! Great service! I only gave this cd 4 stars, because the last track was fuzzy, the English Version; It came in sounding like too much bass...but other than that, I loved all the songs, and for different reasons! My favorites are Numai Tu, and of course, Dragostea Din Tei! I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes Euro-pop, and dance music! Good Cardio Workout! lol

Ozone- Discozoe.......2007-02-19

Very happy with product and seller! Would recomed!!
If you like different pop music from other countries then this is definitly for you!!!
Fun for kids and cool to just sing along to (well do the best that you can, since it is ukranian!)
I recomend this to anyone with a sence of humor, or you just like to boogy!!

Pure joy!.......2007-02-12

A person would have to be either hopelessly embittered or dead to not respond to this music! I got it because I am learning the Romanian language, and the lyrics are fun, beautiful, and clear. What a great surprise when it turned out that I loved all of the songs! This music is pure joy, and you can't sit still, even if you have never danced in your life. Their voices are exquisitely beautiful, and the melodies are amazingly complex. I am a musician...play cello...and I am going to transcribe these melodies for my instrument. Everyone here in America I share this music with falls in love with it, no matter what their age or tastes...this group was perfection! I am a hard rock fan, but these guys sold me in 5 seconds.

Discozone.......2007-01-15

The best of Euro Pop club music. You will not be able to sit with this music on. All I hoped for and more, I was only familiar with one song on the disc but there are no bad tracks.

if you ever - get a chance to review these... and you love club dance music... you will love this!!!

i love this album!! i bought it used. i love the remix of "stars are blind" and i love the song "put your hands up for detroit". the UK version is great, too. but this is better in price and it has great songs that make you wanna dance and bop your head to the beat!! =] highly recommended!!

Ok.......2007-02-18

This was my first MOS:The Annual purchase, and overall i was pretty disappointed, but mostly because I dont love the vocal house that was shoved in my face for 2 hours. Also, if you buy any Hed Kandi albums from 2006, any Cream Compilations or any other 06 MOS albums, you are going to hear a lot of the same material. Aside from all that, if you are into house/deep house (with a taste of electro/tech) I would definitely recommend this CD, because you are getting 24 pretty solid tracks in that area, but sadly it just wasnt for me.

Ministry of Sound?.......2007-01-16

I have all the years back about 10 or so, always get this cd each year and the other one in the same catagory. Rob-E`

Great purchase.......2007-01-13

I loved this cd, I'm waiting on the other one to buy it also. Ministry of sound has the best annuals ever, I have them every year since 2000
