Milk Inc finally gets a full US release thanks to Water Music Dance, and it's an awesome 77 minutes of music!!! Includes the full length remixes, 6-8 minutes long, of Sun Always Shines and Time. But bonus tracks aside, this is by far one of the STRONGEST CD's worth of Power Pop female vocal trance I've ever added to my collection. There are 2 obligatory ballads (one an awful duet), and one track that is a breakbeat trance instrumental, but that leaves 12 tracks of slammin vocals and riffs, as well as the amazing remixes!!! Truly outstanding. Nearly every track on this disc is going into the trance folder on my ipod.

Milk Inc are a group I found by chance after hearing 'Land of the living' on a mixed cd. I wanted to hear more, Pop Trance. Includes a remake of The Sun Always Shines On Tv originally by AHA, this cd packs some punch if your ready to dance, apart from 'November' and 'Maybe' you wont be able to keep your feet still, This cd also includes 3 bonus tracks, The Sun Always Shines On Tv (Extended and remix versions) and Time (Kevin Marshall's Rewind Mix). The only disappointments are 'November and 'Maybe' which destroy the flow of the cd.

Further I would like to recommend purchasing their album Supersized with live Dvd, at Sportpaleis, it includes the hits Run, Tainted Love, Go To Hell, Blind and No Angel. Couldn't find this Album on Amazon so I found it on Ebay, worth your money.

I can't believe I just heard of this group. I have been a music collector for over 20 years, and have really gotten into trance music over the past 6 years or so. I highly recommend this CD to any trance listers out there. It is as good as Ian Van Dahl or DJ Encore, and in my opinion, blows Lasgo away.

You gotta hear this. If you like Lasgo, Ian Van Dahl, then you'll definitly love this album. The only slow songs are Maybe and November, all the rest is very catchy, I'll recommend it.

I love trance music, that style of dance music with fast, continuous beats and rich electronic sounds, and often sweet sounding vocals, usually female vocals. So I thought I'd like this album. Well, I do like it musically. It's not great, but it's good trance music. But the lyrics ruin the album for me. Most of the songs exude a bitterness toward love relationships or a cynicism that love will never work out. Here are lyrical samples from the CD:

"Maybe you're better off without me."
"I'm wide awake, it's time to make it on my own; the dream is over."
"We wanted love to last forever, but something's missing...I can't find words to break your fall, when 'Goodbye' says it all."
"It gets lonely, but I have no other choice...no one sees my dreams falling all apart...I've been blinded by your lies. I never knew love could be so wrong."
"Tell me why you can't feel the things I do...I made the same mistakes I know I'll make again...It meant nothing to you, you'll never understand, it meant nothing to you, the touch of my hand."
"November's here again, raining down on me, I disappear again..."
"It seems like every [scrub?] I see is trying to get it on with me, they think it impresses me, the way they act so foolishly...I don't care, I never liked you anyway...You're a total waste of time."

If these lyrics fit your life, and you like trance music, you'll probably like this album.

I do like the remake of A-Ha's "The Sun Always Shines On TV." It's not better than A-Ha's 8-minute remix version, but it's nice to hear an old favorite with a new flavor. This album has three mixes of the song, none of them significantly different from the other. I also like the instrumental track, "Blown Away." These tracks are enjoyable, and a couple others have pretty nice lyrics, but the album as a whole I find too depressing.

I just purchased milk inc. closer, I've been waiting for a long time for this to be released in the u.s., and not disappointed one bit. If you are a fan of ian van dahl, lasgo, dj sammy, or 4 strings you should buy this cd.

I have all CD's from Milk Inc and I don't know how they manage to not make a bad song. Even the cover of A-Ha's song works very well, even if the original song isn't that good.
I love how the produce the songs, allways with a fresh idea. It is so good, that if you don't know about them, Get to know them.

Milk Inc Finally Gets a little peek at the U.S.A i bought this album as an Import not knowing that it would be relesed here in the USA it is an Awesome album set aside the 2 slow songs it is great If you like some of the stuff u have heard Check out there Latest single Go To Hell it is Awesome and even better Milk inc gets better and better and Linda the lead Singer Hotter and hotter I see them getting stronger in the USA with the right promotion aka radio airplay wich is hard to get here in the Usa and if ur looking for Dj encore stuff there was only 1 album which was Great!! but i need more than 1 album every 4 years to satisfy me Buy milk inc closer u won't be dissapointed Ps i know i type like crap

i have to say this is a great cd.. and after hearing samples of it in my girlfriends car i had to borrow it. there are great melodies and it was put together very well.

This is the best MILK album I've heard...snappy and live. Loved the lead singer (no longer the same as current albums).
