I love Kaskade. I keep missing his live sets as Im a bartender and I always seem to be working when he comes to town.

This CD is great. Usually there are a few songs that dont quite cut it but this one starts strong and keeps going all the way through. I especially like "Dont Give Up" and the two hits "Here I Am" and "Everything". Highly recommended.

Terrific release from the folks @ OM and a great introduction to Kaskade's 'kapabilities' as a spinster. Every song naturally flows into the other and there are some nice sonic surprises across the album.

I started seriously listening to lounge music earlier this year and I highly recommend this album. Very easy to listen to over and over again. I've been listening to it in the car as I drive around Berlin and it is just perfect.

I'm no house music historian but I do love it. This album is great. Anyone looking for good groovy house music that keeps a smile on your face, check out this album. My favourites are tracks 1-3 and the last one. If you haven't already, check out Kaskade's "It's You, It's Me" album..also another gem!

It's deep house, melodic and uplifting. Smooth vocals and solid, phat basslines. One previous reviewer was nice enough to give us concise descriptions of all the tracks he likes, but that was only four tracks(1,3,7,12). I mean, he just dismissed the rest like the're all worthless. I personally found many other tracks to be as compelling as those four. In fact, I listened to almost the whole album on the way to work, and found track 5 was the one that ended up stuck in my head(can't get enough of that sax). I also liked track 9 with it's pounding house beat. This mix puts a smile on my face.

This is the ultimate in feel-good music, brought to us by none other than the amazing Kaskade. This CD will perk you up any time of the day, leaving groove vibes all around. It opens up with Tamra Keenan - Here I Am, a track with booming bass lines through out, and a great voice to back it up. One of my favorites on the CD is Kaskade - Everything. When he played here in Austin, he opened with this track, and it was sublime.

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD!!

As a newbie to this genre of music, I was very pleased with this purchase - this is the ultimate in "feel good" music. The pounding beats and airy vocals that accompany certain tracks just puts & keeps a smile on my face!

My favorite tracks are: HERE I AM, ENDLESS WAY, DON'T GIVE IT UP, EVERYTHING, BACK IN MY LIFE & RIVER OF LOVE

What are you waiting for? See Kaskade when he comes to your town. Buy his music you will never go wrong. Here I am, is impeccable! Tamra Keenan has a beautiful voice; you can almost feel her emotion spilling through that voice!

This is a nice deep house production. If you like this, check out the first full length CD for producer Quentin Allen as Karu. There are other 12" releases on Silver Network, Dadhouse, Winding Road, Mimosa & Smooth Agent. This CD is a very consistant production with a good blend of jazz, hip-hop, techno, neo-soul, and deep house all together. The beats are very crisp and sound good in the car, the house or the club. Some songs tastefully use vocal snippets to add flavor. There is even a track featuring Warren Harris aka Hanna (Shadow Records, Silver Network, Flat & Round, Freerange). If you want good quality deep house, this CD is for you.

4.5 STARS! This album is another great OM product, and a Kaskade one at that. Life w/o Kaskade...well, please don't let me imagine it! And while I don't like this CD quite as much as Kaskades non-compilation efforts, "It's You, It's Me" and "In the Moment", this a simply not to be missed for any lover of house music. It certainly starts out strong with what is now one of my favorite house tracks ever, "Here I Am". Love the vocalist, love the music. It is David Morales, who I also love, but sounds 100% Kaskade. There are may other awesome tracks here, including:

1. Here I Am
3. Don't Give It Up
7. Everything
9. Cookys
11. I Knew You When
13. Once In a Lifetime

Guess I didn't like the even numbered tracks as well, though those were generally very solid as well. There were a few slightly lackluster tracks on this album, but all in all it is a very satifying listen, especially late at night or on the weekends.
