The music is OK.

But how on earth do you make a CD and say it comprises the leading women of Electronica and omit the following?:

- Justine Suissa (the undisputed Queen of Vocal Trance)
- Kirsty Hawkshaw (the runner-up)
- Engelina (of DJ Encore and Engelina)
- Linda Mertens (Milk Inc)
- Nadia Ali (IIO)

CORRECTION:
Kirsty Hawkshaw is the Queen of Vocal Trance

The omission is glaring given the sub-title of the album.

Nonetheless, the following are outstanding with heavenly sultry vocals, and will-make-you-move music:
Remember Me by Colleen Kelly
Transparent (Interstate Remix) by Jan Johnston

So I'd really give the album 3.5 stars.

"Femmes Fatales" is a great selection of electronica/dance songs that contain performances by women with great singing voices. My two favorite songs on this cd are "Red Light Go" by Mea Fisher and "Waiting For You" by Layla. "Red Light Go" appears to be a musical track about changing up the usual routine in life. "Waiting For You" is a great track about someone baring their soul by admitting their feelings after much time has already passed. The essential fact for anyone that enjoys vocal trance is the inclusion of lyrics in the tracks. "Femmes Fatales" is best to get for anyone that enjoys high energy and adrenaline raising dance, pop, trance, and/or electronica music.

This is a fine CD. It's nice to get a CD featuring ladies mixing it up, since they are often not given the credit they deserve. However, like any "various artists" CD, the "greatest" are left up to the interpretation of the publishers. There certainly are some great- and overlooked- artists on the CD. It is worth listening to and worth owning. I like over half of the songs and with a mixed artist CD that is rare!
For fans of the electronica/dance/techno type of music, I would suggest this CD. It's not trance or anything very hardcore though, the songs do have words in them. If you don't already know the artists on the CD, maybe you'll find a new one you like.

What can I say? Their sound allures. A guy can not help but fall in love with everyone one of the Femmes Fatales. Certainly this one does. Just listen.
