5.0 out of 5 stars
The unreleased Paula Abdul mix is reason enough to get this volume, June 17, 2008
This review is from: Party Groove: Gaydays 5 (Audio CD)
Yeah. So, nothing is coming out on CD anymore because of the download industry, but those of us who want many of these mixes on physical CD find solace in series like this. This volume gives us some hard-to-get versions of some hot dance tracks. I still can't believe there was no CD single released for the Paula Abdul/Randy Jackson track, but here is one of the mixes for more than 5 minutes. Along with the good comes the cheesy--a cover of Donna Summer's Hot Stuff, cover of Mr. Mister's Broken Wings, a cover of Bob Marley's Could This Be Love, Black Box's Ride On Time, and yes, even a horrible cover of the big Leona Lewis hit Bleeding Love--would much rather have had the dance mix of HER version. This is, overall, a very uplifting set, not anything of the peak hour energy level. My personal favorite after the Paula Abdul is the harder, electro house track "Love's a Basic Freedom" by Pleasure Center, both of which almost seem out of place on this fluffy set. Track times:
1. ready to go (1:32)
2. where the music takes you (7:02)
3. dance like there's no tomorrow (5:07)
4. live your life (5:19)
5. joy (7:23)
6. could this be love (5:15)
7. ride on time (5:03)
8. love's a basic freedom (5:40)
9. hot stuff (5:25)
10. surrender me (7:55)
11. bleeding love (7:29)
12. broken wings (4:21)
13. everything changes (7:02)
6. could this be love (5:15)
