This review is from: Groove Radio Presents House Grooves Compiled and Mixed by Swedish Egil (Audio CD)

Well, despite the other reviews I've read of this album, I think overall it is quite solid.
Having said that, it probably isn't everyone's bag, as most of the tracks here are remixed quite a bit from their original versions that most fans are already familiar with.
But really, I think that is the compilation's strength as well. Because, if you buy more than three or four comps a year, you know that you will have repeat tracks on them. How many had 'Love Story', 'Madame Hollywood', or 'La La Land'on them? Ok, so this one does too, but instead of just rounding up the mixes that everyone knows already (Ultra Records, I'm looking in your general direction...), Groove instead collects the more obscure variations of them, making many of them sound fresh all over again. Which is great as many of these tunes are already near classic.
Also of note, as it mentions in the booklet, Swedish Egil mixes all the tracks directly from vinyl, to "give the listener the real feel of a DJ mix", which makes the whole thing bristle with the dynamics that are usually found only in the club.
Very refreshing for a comp to do something like that, eh?

I Have never heard of GrooveRadio until I was looking threw a list, that was put on my music media down load, listen all the time now when on PC. But I did buy 3 od the best DVD'S from Amazon and love it that now I can listen to it where ever, don't have to be on PC to listen and also if I want to listen to the songs on DVD I just put it in my computer and play my games and such, Plan on getten the whole collection, if possable. Some of the prices are very nice and unexpenceive. The host of the Radio Show and his Nephew made a lot of songs together and are great to gether, and are and alsp exelent songs to start your day off right makes me feel good to listen to GROOVERADIO.com

This review is from: Groove Radio Presents House Grooves Compiled and Mixed by Swedish Egil (Audio CD)

Egil has been part of the electronic music scene for 30 years now. He has a big picture perception that most DJs don't. That is evident with this set. As has already been said, there is some rare stuff and it is mixed directly from vinyl. If you like what's here, it's not too tough to find an unmixed version of it, thanks to the Internet. Certainly not like it used to be. I like that he is stepping outside of the usual producers/mixers that you constantly see popping up all over the place, even if I'm not a fan of every single track. Have learned a lot about music from this guy.

If you like Groove Radio and other things Egil has done, you'll have an appreciation for this set.
