4.0 out of 5 stars Corporate Dance Mash Ups Couldn't Be Better, March 8, 2005

Well, while this mix really sounds like any normal dance mix most of the time, the few instances where it shines, it shines BRIGHTLY.

It starts off with an oldschool disco feel, dropping into Khia like Beyonce on crack. Disc 1 maintains a fairly old-meets-new feel almost the entire way through. It gets a little boring in the middle but there might be some gems in there for other people that keep them jamming. The part that brings me back is the acapella "Deepest Blue" to the rendition of Robert Miles' "Children". It's haunting, and beautiful.

Disc 2 starts off with a bang, DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremony rapping into the instrumental mix of Deepest Blue, which carries through the acapella of "Oh Sheila (Love Me Right)" right back into the Pied Piper. I am a huge fan of Deepest Blue, so this little treat is well enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, but there's more...

They seem to love using the instrumental of one track and then the acapella later on this disc, and interestingly enough, "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi shows up a few times, in both forms. The real shining star on THIS disc though, is Tomcraft's "Loneliness" as the background music to EVERYONE's favorite 80's vocal trance remake, DJ Sammy's "Heaven". It shook me, made my spine quiver, and had me begging for a single and extended cut.

This set aims to please on so many levels, but it's fault is that some of the background songs sound more like remixes for the acapella tracks rather than a true mash up. I can't wait for a second volume!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh So Good, August 5, 2005

This album is just so hot and can be played from beginning to end without skipping tracks. I listen to it at least twice a day. But lets get down to business: This cd is a certified classic!

It starts off with Cheryl Lynn challenging Liberty X for some action. I like how the songs blend well, which is what a true mash up is! But Khia comes from NOWHERE and just takes over the track in the final minute. I wish that Khia's whole song was mashed with Cheryl Lynn's "Got To Be Real". After Khia takes over, progidgy licks her up and then we flow into some old school......2 old school tunes that are hot with the accapelas that go with them.
Armand Van Helden comes in as an interlude (a lot of songs on here act as inteludes/transitions).
The 1st disc goes all garage-y with Artful Dodger and other garage tracks untilTrack 9 when it goes into early 90's dance. After to the club is when the CD gets REALLY crazy. Mylo drops the pressure, but borrows Andrea Britton's "Winter" vocals to do so, with a little commander tom to keep your "Attention" Were going disco with stupidisco and the theme stays that way until a SUPER creepy and beautiful mashup of Angel City's Do You Know and Deepest Blue's Deepest Blue belnd in. SOOOOO hot. Disc 1 ends with some covers.
Disc 2 is phenomenal. Only 1 old school track out of the bunch. All In All, hot album!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mash Up Mayhem, March 10, 2005

Well it looks like MOS have found another excuse to dredge up some vintage tunes and cash in on them. Some of these are absolutely hideous! In terms of Mash up style, there is something seriously lacking about any compilation that mixes Drop the pressure under two different track and calls them separate tunes. There are some decent tracks on this but frankly if id bought it i would have taken it back and complained.
