5.0 out of 5 stars Unusually Satisfying and Solid, September 12, 2000

If you are reading this review, then the singles "Dreamer" and "Don't Stop Movin'" probably peaked your interest. If that is the case (as it was with me), then you should go ahead and buy this album.

As most dance music groups are single oriented- rather than album oriented - you might think the album would run out of steam. Happily, with Livin' Joy this is not the case. Not only will you find those two club smashes, but also a compitent album that has infectious grooves, solid house/techno rhythms, and soaring and passionate vocals throughout.

The musical formula employed (heavy bass line, chiming effects, etc...) is similar enough to tie the album together but is craftily handled to prevent the feeling you've just bought one big remix of "Dreamer".

Other notable cuts on the album are "Follow The Rules", a cut with an infectious keyboard hook, "Be Original", a mid-tempo cut with uplifting lyrics, and a love it/hate it cut titled "Don't Cha' Wanna" with some smile inducing scat singing and sweeping bass-line.

Complimenting the catchy grooves are some of the most uplifting lyrics heard in dance music in a long time - the ideas are not groundbreaking - as in "Be Original", "Don't Stop Movin'/live your life/keep on movin'/get it right" "Follow The Rules of Life/and do the right thing" - but it makes me feel up to the challenge when I hear it. In fact, I sometimes put this one on JUST for some inspiration.

If you buy this CD, you'll like this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Optimistic, April 17, 2001

This review is from: Don't Stop Movin (Audio CD)

During late '94/95 "(I'm a) Dreamer" reliably packed the dance floor. The single was released prior to the album. It's full of attitude and saucyness. It seems no matter who got their hands on this number, it was a hit. NYC DJ Junior Vasquez could extend and remix this song over and over and the dance floor simply would not empty.

Just when we in The States thought we had another one-hit wonder on our hands, Livin' Joy showed their hand. The CD is a great effort, though rather commercial dance music. The lyrics are a little over-the-top with the messages, but if you can get passed that (or if that's your cup o' tea) the music is quite enjoyable and very easy to dance to. My favs are "Don't Stop Moving," "Don't Cha Wanna," "Follow The Rules" and of course "Dreamer." In fact, "Dreamer" STILL gets me going. It's a classic that will always have us "Moving."
