First let me say this to all who read the review a few lines up. Sash is not Techno, and NOT POP techno. IT IS -- Progressive House.

Sash is one of the artists who helped define progressive house.

This is a GREAT progressive house record... Most of these songs got play on many dance floors (including mine) when they came out... and some still do from time to time... Ecuador, Encore Une Fois (an anthem).

They are great to listen to as well. Check out his follow up record "Life Goes On," (better than the first) and the new single "Adelante!" It gets played regularly on my turntables... 4-500 people nightly in my current club.

Eurodance icon Sash! first came out with this album back in 96-97, it was a big success. It was commercial but at the same time catchy and good dance muaic. German Sash! always had guest artists on his songs, and often the songs were also sung in other languages. The first single "Encore Une Fois" was the french entry, it was a typical club song with a female that didn't say much more then the title does. Spanish inspired "Eduacor" was single #2 to be released, it was simular and yet another hit. Third single "Stay" was slower then the others and it had more lyrics, "Le Trec" helped him out with that. Sash continued shortly after with a new album called "Life Goes on" in 1998 and yet another one called "Trillenium" both included some decent songs, 4th album "S4 Sash" was a dissapointment though and i didn't hear much from him from that album.

Back to "It's my life", apart from the 3 hit songs i mentioned there are many less commerical songs without lyrics on the albums, they have the great "Sash!" sound but they are no chart toppers either. This album however will get me thinking of 1997 when Sash! was all over the charts in Europe. It's a good album a defenite recommendation. Check his upcoming 2 albums aswell.

everything is mixed in its way and with the flow of the rithym it's perfect and Ecuador just overflows the perfection

EL DISCO DE SASH ES EL MEJOR , SUS RITMOS EUROPEOS TE TRANSPORTAN A UN EXTASIS MUSICAL. SOY DJ Y LOS FINES DE SEMANA NUNCA PUEDE FALTAR ESTA EXTRAORDINARIA MUSICA . ITS MY LIFE Y SWEAT SON LAS MEJORES

EL DISCO DE SASH ESTA EXCELENTE, SUS SONIDOS EUROPEOS LO HACEN EL MEJOR DEL AÑO , YO SOY DJ Y CADA FIN DE SEMANA NO PUEDE FALTAR EN LOS ANTROS . ITS MY LIFE Y SWEAT SON LAS MEJORES.

Las canciones "Encore une fois" y Ecuador (ambas versiones) son fabulosas. Acarrean a pensar solo en el ritmo y ganas de estar solo bailandolas.

Ecuador is great! The sound, the pace, the intensity is just right. The rest is alright.

"It's My Life" is one of my personal favorite trance albums of all time. I love the quality in production on this cd. The production is so big and raw. You think that you are in a nightclub. I love the female vocals. That is how I imagine all trance music that incorporate vocals into their music. Sabine Ohmes does a great job on "Encore Une Fois", one of trance music's most endearing songs. My favorite tracks on this album has to be "Stay" and "Ecuador" (both the versions of the latter song). I especially adore "Ecuador". I love the delicate melodies . "Stay" in some odd way, has that same club feel that Faithless' "God is a Dj" and "Insomnia" has. The sound is so big and beautiful. Definitely one of my personal favorite trance songs of all time. To be honest though,I am rather tired of "Encore Une Fois". I have heard that song so many times in the club over the years. It got rather old with me. Still it is a really good song. Definitely better than any song by cheesemeister Darude. I definitely need to play catch up with Sash!'s music. I haven't gotten around to hearing what this trance collective has been up to lately. Until then, "It's My Life" still sounds fresh and able to hold up in the five yearrs that I have owned this cd.

This is a great party album, with great sounds that you can dance and sing too. Not award winning music, but great anyway.

At first listen, this album doesn't sound great. But after a few listens, I loved it, most of the tracks are great. The standout tracks are the big hits. The "best track award" goes to "Encore Une Fois" (Future Breeze Remix), my favourite SASH! track without a doubt. Second place goes to "Ecuador", less trancey than "Encore Une Fois", this is an excellent dance tracks and also probably my 2nd favourite SASH! track. "Stay" is a eurodance track, with a melody, female vocals by La Trec and more lyrics ; yet another great track on this album. Other excellent tracks include "It's My Life" (the very first Sash! single), excellent, although a bit trancey (there is only someone saying "It's my life" several times as vocals) and "Sweat", another dance track with some vocals by La Trec ; I love this track. The others are good too. "Hoopstar" is sort of breakbeat, I didn't like it first but it's quite good actually. "Mighty Break" and "The Final Pizzi" are trance tracks and they are nice. The only track I don't like that much is "Cheating Twister". Too boring ! But the rest is good. If you like dance and trance music, you should check this album. If you like only dance music and you think you won't like the album tracks, buy "Best Of Sash! Encore Une Fois", it has the singles from the first 3 albums and some albums tracks.
