IS A GOOD DANCE CD, October 6, 2000
I am a U.S. Marine stationed in Japan (near Tokyo), from Aurora, IL, who loves the techno/trance club scene. This album offers outstanding beats including techno and trance. I wouldn't agree that some of her songs are repetitve, it is just simply her music style. Most of the songs have an up-beat tune to them. Her voice is the real magic, not the lyrics, by the way it grabs the listener. I wouldn't agree with the bonus tracks for the import album, there is none, it's not worth the money. The "bonus tracks", is simply just a video to watch on a computer with the CD in, with the song Back In My Life. So just buy the regular version for the money, and you get the same songs as on the imported one. If you have any questions about the album e-mail me at symakjj@fuji.usmc.mil. Semper Fi---Jason Symak

she's a club girl, December 3, 2000
If you ever been to a club then you know what I mean. The music of Alice Deejay is always pumpin' in the clubs. Let's give a run down of her famous tracksBack in my life - Probably her 2nd single. This is a light trance tune that is very catchy. There's even a video of this song on the cd! Better off alone - I'd say this is what made her in the clubs. This song is very addictive and is still being played in clubs today! You gotta listen to it and love it. Will I ever - A very good song about someone wondering if she will ever find the right person. Continues the catchiness of alice deejay. But never became big in clubs, which is a shame. I can see it in your eyes - Currently her club hit. Good but get's old kinda fast This is a CD for people who enjoy mainstream trance mixed in with somewhat of euro. If you go clubbing alot, then you probably have heard her music. Her music is very addictive to listen to. Caution: this cd is meant to be heard LOUD, if you listen to it through a pair of headphones, it just loses a part of its essence :)

Awesome CD!!!, July 26, 2003
I just found out about Alice DeeJay about a month ago, in summer 2003. I think that this music is great! Too bad I didn't listen to dance music before 2 years ago! I bought this import version of the CD because it has the "Back In My Life" video. It's awesome. I definetly recommend it.Okay, here's a description of the tracklisting: Back In My Life - One of my favorites of the track. Nice bassline, vocals, everything. Vocals very reverby, with a nice lead synth line. This is definetly a good song, and it's very danceable. Totally awesome melody. Very good eurodance. Nostalgic tone.
Better Off Alone - Many people may get bored by this one. Nice melody, although a little repeditive. This is the song that people associate most with Alice DeeJay. A little more dancy than Back In My Life. Sounds more trancy, though, with the limited vocals. Nostalgic tone as well.
Celebrate Our Love - Not as dancy as the first two. Has a different energy than both of them. More party-ish. This song focuses more on the vocals than the background. Eurodance. Happy, hopeful tone.
The Lonely One - Pretty hard trance. Less eurodancy than the other ones and more like trance. Vocals very repeditive, but melody is sweet. Synth and strings prevail. The sound is a little more aggressive than the previous songs.
Who Needs Guitars Anyway? - Sounds like the same bass, strings, and lead synth as Back In My Life. Has the nice bouncy pizzicato synth. Also, nice piano breaks as well. This is trance. No vocals. An uplifting tone, yet with a hint of bittersweet with the piano. Very well done track.
Will I Ever - Extremely bouncy, easy to dance to. Bassline is very good. Very good lyrics. Happy tone. Eurodance.
Elements Of Life - Sounds like rave trance. Lots of lead synths going. Some parts of it sound a little like goa. Limited vocals. A driving track.
Fairy Tales - Slows the album down a bit. This one isn't dance at all, it's more like electro-pop, kinda slow, maybe like alt-rock a little.
Waiting For Your Love - Eurodance. Gets old really fast.
No More Lies - Really good stuff. Very energetic eurodance.
I Can See (See It In Your Eyes) - Nice!!! Kinda progressive. Very clubby eurodance. Very dancy. Memorable lyrics.
Everything Begins With An E - Progressive. Extremely well-made melodies. Love the piano and the synth. Bassline is also excellent. 1:25 - 1:39, the lead synth all by itself sounds kinda cheesy. However, with the bassline and the drums, it sounds great. All in all, a very nice progressive trance track.
Got To Get Away - Faster track than all of the other ones in the CD. Very danceable, but there's not much melody in this one. Club.
Alice DeeJay - What a way to end the album! Very nice clubby trance track. In this one, you've got Judy asserting her powers as a DJ, and then as Alice DeeJay. Awesome! Very nice piano melody to top it all off. Okay, so there you have it. Descriptions for all of the tracks in this album. I am really glad I bought this!
