3.0 out of 5 stars On Par for DJ-Kicks, January 30, 2006

This review is from: DJ-Kicks (Audio CD)

"DJ-Kicks was launched in 1995 to supply mixes designed for home stereo use as well as for the dance floor." Toward accomplishing this goal, Annie's effort succeeds. If you are into electronic/dance music, or are a fan of the DJ-Kicks series, you should get some enjoyment out of this album. Or, if you're throwing a party and want some fresh/obscure music, this delivers a few solid tracks. However, most mainstream music listeners won't be attracted to this album.

Highlights:

Rabbit Pushing Mower - Blast this on the first day of spring. Sunny-smiley song.

Bongo Song - Hell yeah! Makes me want to party `till dawn.

Black History Month - Catchy lyrics, reminiscent of school dances in the gymnasium.

Gimme Your Money - An acceptable filler track for your night out.

Lowlights:

Jukebox Babe - Makes me want to hurl.

Flextone - Just annoying.

I Want Candy - Why even ponder remixing this song?

Sally `That Girl' - Terrible lyrics, poorly sung, put to a simple beat.

Other:

Lady Bug - Kind of funny.

Fa Fa Fa - Never, ever, put police sirens on your album. Thanks.

Annie does a good job with the instrumentals, but most tracks with lyrics will make you cringe upon their onset. As with many dance albums, each track flows smoothly into the next, a habit I wish some other genres would adopt. I would jump at the chance to check out anything new by this artist, but I won't be recommending this offer to any of my friends.
