Boy George had been to Twilo (NYC) once but I didn't check him out. After listening to his ESSENTIAL MIX album on Launch, I decided to buy it and I enjoyed it because it was different from a lot of the albums/tracks I'm used to. After reading the reviews for this album, I was shocked to hear that he had switched or at least for this album, to house music. House being my preferred choice of electronica music especially progressive house, I bought this album as well. Listened to its entirety last night while cruising in NYC, the ablum is lack for a better phrase "The Bomb!" and what I mean is that this album was/is REAL good. Anyone and everyone who likes house music will definitely like this album. Don't let the name Boy George throw you off, although, he uses his own vocals in a few songs, the music is a blast to listen to. I will bet any amount of money if you let you friends listen to this album and ask if they like it, they will definitely say yes but when you tell them it's by Boy George, they'll be in shock just like my brother was. I actually wanted to go clubbing last night because of music. <=oP What are you waiting for?? Buy the CD!!

Boy George is a way better DJ than any of you can imagine. He's good at creating a mood, whether it's housey, progressive, or downtempo BG can rock the tables. He has obviously been involved in the dance scene for a long time so he knows what he likes and that's important in a DJ. I recommend this CD to anyone who likes dance music in any way, shape, or form.

For years now I've been hearing that Boy George was spinning, & I was scared ta death to give him a whirl. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect. I bought this because I read a review that gave it 4 stars and concluded with the following statement: "More than anything, this perfect timing and grasp of tension and release showcases how much Boy George continues to evolve as a DJ, from a one-time novelty to a professional talent."

With such a good review and knowing how I love progressive house, I decided to give this mix a try. And child, I'm sure glad that I did! A few of the songs had me jumping through da roof! Not only was I shocked at how well the boy could mix, but also at the selection of more obscure tracks that one doesn't find on yer average compilation. There are some kick... songs with a beat that will make ya jump to yo' feet. If this doesn't make ya wanna dance than "bang, bang--you're dead!" Or maybe you should try one of those top 40 loser dance CD's.

I HAVE A HUGE COLLECTION OF DJ MIXED TAPES FROM A LOT OF MAJOR DJ'S AND I HAVE TO ADMIT I WAS A BIT NERVOUS IN PICKING THIS CD UP AND THINKING I MIGHT NOT LIKE IT. I CAME HOME AND PLAYED THE CD AND TO MY SURPRISE THIS CD IS TOTALLY AWESOME IT HAS TO BE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. THE MIXES ARE GREAT AND THE SELECTIONS ARE TOO. AFTER BUYING MANY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS FROM MANNY AND TRACY AND JUNIOR THEY STARTED TO SOUND ALL THE SAME AND THIS ONE HAS NEW SONGS I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE BUT CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THEM IN THE CLUBS.THIS IS A MUST BUY.

I bought this CD for the hell of it, not knowing anything about what to expect. I heard Boy George was DJing and heard a small clip of a remix he was doing and was quie impressed so I picked this up. I must say I was quite pleasantly surprised, this CD has too many high points to list, it's strong from beginning to end, which is rare for any CD, even compilations. The mixing is nearly flawless, I can't stop listening to it. Everytime I hear it, I have to go out and dance, it's the perfect mood setting CD. Definite buy!!!!

A terrific mix by one of the most independant thinking DJs out there. Boy George packs this cd with rare mixes ( his own ballad "Julian", remixed here into a great house track ) and songs that you just don't hear down at your local disco ( the fabulous "the Dealer"). This is not your everyday DJ mix. And George freely admits that in the liner notes, which to some could be seen as a kind of musical snobery, but in this case he is justifiably proud of this mix.

This album includes 18 great tracks carefully put together by Boy George. You will find two tracks sung by the man himself. "Auto-Erotic" has great Boy George vocals and the CD also includes "Julian", wich is a rare dance mix of his NEW ballad "Julian". A must-have! The CD is really the same as the "In & Out" CD by Boy George released by "Trust The DJ" in UK. This is the US licenced version. The only difference is that this has only one CD (the "OUT" one), and a great glossy artwork! Love it! ;) Don't try to put Your mascara on to this one!

Boy George's turntables must have melt during the mix of his most recent dj set, cause, it sure did melt my shoes.
It was a continues mix of electrofunkedelichouse beats that kept me grooving, moving and wishing for more!

This is a great cd. The remix of Julian is awsome and I think it is one of his best dj cds. It is non stop dance and energy. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves dance music and loves the mixes that boy george is known for. this is a must have in every collecton. I am a huge fan of the Boy and have collected a lot of his DJ mixes and they just keep getting better!
