5.0 out of 5 stars OMG Buy this NOW!!!!, January 18, 2002

If you like club music with a trance twist, you MUST get this CD! I cannot stop playing it! I have referred it to several friends who cannot stop playing it. Granted it has a few "bubble gum" - heard enough of THIS songs, BUT, OMG this is the best! This ranks right up there with Boy George's Compilation CD. That is another MUST HAVE!!!!

RUN, do not walk to the store and get this CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dance Essentials Vol. 1>>hmm......, November 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dance Essentials 1 (Audio CD)

This was a very well mixede of songs! Except for a couple (...), like the French Affair song "My heart goes boom". Now this was in my opinion so u just may like it but otherwise it was a great CD. If I had to narrow it down to my favorites, I would have to say Voodoo and Serano's "Blood is Pumpin" and ATB's "Let u go". ATB presented a darker side of there music with this track that I had never heard until I had gotten this CD. If u also like kind of a Pop Trance/Techno there is also Sarina Paris's "Look at us now", this presented the more pop side of the album. Good CD! (not the best), but good CD. Go out and buy it!, It's worth it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dance targeted for teens, November 5, 2001

By

This review is from: Dance Essentials 1 (Audio CD)

Not being a part of the apparently targeted fourteen year old girl demographic, we'll just trust ublmusic's claim that these hits "summarize the top beat-driven anthems in the country." DJ Geoffe mixes equal parts high-energy pop beats, lots (and lots) of vocoder voices and enough sugary charm to occasionally beguile; French Affair's "My Heart Goes Boom" mixes nursery melodies, French, and smiley-bounce thumping to be a top-40 radio night cut.

Which essentially is what Dance Essentials Volume 1 plays like; your local teen-radio Saturday Night Mix. There's even some trance-for-beginner cuts here as well (the Thrillseekers "Synaesthesia" and Ian Van Dahl's "Castles in the Sky"). ATB actually closes out the set with the most developed song of the lot, a darker, pulsating number to springboard listeners into what more advanced dance music sounds like.

Aimed strictly for the roller-skating party crowd. If that's who you're buying this for, then here's a candy bar.
