4.0 out of 5 stars Different moods on different listenings, March 18, 2004

By

This review is from: Another Late Night: Mixed By Groove Armada (Audio CD)

This could almost be called 'Back to Mine' Volume 2 as it does have a very similar feel to Groove Armada's compilation for that series. However, I find this compilation much more diverse and multi layered. On first listening this disc doesn't have the seamless flow of the 'Back to Mine' set and almost seems to take you through many mood swings instead of settling you into a nice groove like many chill sets do. However, on repeated listenings I find this actually to be the strength of the disc as it successfully manages to mix several moods and several styles.

The boys own version of 'Fly Me To The Moon' starts the set with the cool lounge style associated with Groove Armada but the disc then gradually assumes a more funk laden style with The Memory by Roy Ayers and Grace Jones' Don't Cry It's Only Rhythm being stand outs. The Shuggie Otis version of Stawberry Letter 23 is amazing and with other artists such as Aretha and Al Green it is almost impossible not to succeed.

Overall, a disc that gets better and better with repeated listenings and a disc I find suits many moods whilst still maintaining an overall coherency.

5.0 out of 5 stars another great mix, September 15, 2002

Groove armada got this chill compilation thing down cold. You can expect to hear much of the same here as you heard on their back to mine release, if youve heard it. Hip-hop, dance, soul, a excellent disco tune 'standing in the rain', & I dont even care for disco, but this song is pretty good, & a really cool cover of pink floyds 'breathe' is here also. I didnt really care for 'ya playin yaself' at first, being that the first half was with out music, but it soon grew on me & it does slide into the next track without flaw. If you like groove armada, or liked their 'back to mine' disc, get this. Also check out zero 7's another late night cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fine for a genre I usaully avoid., July 23, 2003

As I said I usaully avoid this type of genre but Groove Armada has given us a very fine cd of good if not great listening quality. Many surprises along the way include Grace Jones,Roy Ayers, Jeru the Damager, Aretha Franklin just to name a few. The usuall house and disco tunes fill out very nicely and the whole cd works for me although I usually don't even listen to many of the "house" and "disco" artist on this cd. Do not fear the music, it's all good.
