more sweet kandi, December 5, 2003
This review is from: Hed Kandi: World Series UK (Audio CD)
lots more. this is an excellent buy! 3 cd's worth of all your hed kandi dance floor favourites (@pacha) well compiled and seamlessly MIXED! yes, unlike most kandi releases, these cd's are mixed, and divided into 3 categories: beach house, disco heaven, and twisted disco. been listening to these non-stop since i got them last week. it's pure bliss. memories of summer, clubbing, ibiza, etc.etc. essential party music. these'll stay in my stereo through all my xmas/new year parties.

2 out of 3 good discs isn't bad, November 8, 2005
This review is from: Hed Kandi: World Series UK (Audio CD)
I've had this album for almost 2 years and still cannot stop listening to the beach house set (CD 1). Very sexy vocals, and relaxing soulful beats - great for poolside listening and making a weekend afternoon in the summer into a mini vacation. I give that CD on its own 5 stars.
Disc 2 is OK - I still listen to it occasionally, but use it mostly for pumping me up while I'm working out. Some songs are good (#7) but others are overplayed - e.g. I was never a big fan of Martin Solving and his 'Rockin' Music' in the first place.
Disc 3 I barely ever listen to, and have probably only endured it in it's entirety about 4-5 times. One song sounds like the next and it's basically just boring, unoriginal dark house that I could have done without in the first place, but perhaps it's just personal preference - I'm not a trance or dark house head. 'Back to the island' is my favorite on this CD and earned it the 1 star I would give it.

The Essence of Kandi Boiled Down, March 24, 2004
This review is from: Hed Kandi: World Series UK (Audio CD)
When I bought this, I had never bought a Hed Kandi release, let alone heard of Hed Kandi. I was browsing at the Virgin Megastore and saw a display and took a chance after seeing a few songs on the back that I had heard of on the dance charts. But when I brought this home and popped The Disco Heaven CD into my CD player, I fell in love with Kandi forever. Their ability to blend all sorts of genres together, and make them seem as if they came from one source, is supurb. Each track is original, yet fits well with the rest of of the songs on it's CD. Beach House is a sultry CD that you can fal asleep to, wake up to or take out for a nice jog around the beach or the park. Fade and Back Together are personal favs as both make you long for the lazy days of the summer. Disco Heaven updates the 70's and brings them into the new millenium with infectious beats and combines it with today's modern house and it's memorable rythyms. The Pique & Nique remix of Crazy Talk is in contention for my favourite song this year. Twisted Disco takes it to the next level and brings hardcore beats into the club and turns disco into rave music. Although it's my least favourite of the 3 discs, it has some killer tracks in Stand Up and Falling Star. I'm not a club freak, but this compilation makes me REALLY wanna go to Ibiza, or any club that Hed Kandi is playing at.
