2.0 out of 5 stars Blatant rip-off of a great album., August 11, 2001

This review is from: Mystic Groove (Dlx) (Audio CD)

This CD really had a lot of promise and could have been just great. In fact when I popped it in my CD player it started out great. From reading the liner notes I already knew that the last track was also to be found on another compilation album, Arabesque. That album BTW is a must for almost any music collection. It turns out however that no less then four of the ten tracks of "Mystic Groove", all on the last half of the CD, are lifted straight out of "Arabesque". It would have been so easy to replace those tracks by different ones from the same fabulous artists. So, to make a long story short, save your mon and buy the much better and longer "Arabesque" instead. Don't support this blatant rip-off.

5.0 out of 5 stars stop crying and start dancing!, November 28, 2001

"musikphan" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mystic Groove (Dlx) (Audio CD)

This cd has madd flavor if you actually listen to it. sure, there are some repeats from another compilation, but that happens every other day. If you own that other comp, don't get this one, but if you're just getting into this kinda stuff, I highly recommend this album. The best tracks are from Nitin Sawhney, Thievery Corporation , Black Star , Christophe , MC , Dzihan & Kamien, the last one probably the BEST. It's a song for under-the-sheets, if you catch my drift, nudgenudgewinkwink.

2.0 out of 5 stars Under-produced electronica, November 24, 2002

This review is from: Mystic Groove (Dlx) (Audio CD)

I bought this CD because it had a track with Goze - Sirocco, I loved that track from the Kelly Slate Surfing game.

Unfortunately, this CD suffers from the Buddha Bar/Chill Out/<insert compilation name here> syndrome.
One or two tracks are good, but you wonder where they found the other 10 tracks, (or that whole 2nd CD in some cases).

Mystic Groove is supposed to take place in a commercialized mid-Eastern Electronica World.
The gee-whiz factor wears off quite quickly.

Most tracks on this CD are plain under-produced electronica. That's a bad combination, because it means a sounds and samples repeated just too much.

There's gotta be better compilations out there, and the only good thing from this one is that I'm searching for other, better ones.
