Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Let's make a sweeping, highly subjective generalization: Americans make the best rock & roll in the world (the Stones notwithstanding), and the Europeans have a lock on fizzy, upbeat, fuchsia-colored dance-pop. Think of Aqua, ABBA, Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Erasure, and now, Lasgo. The Belgian trio follows a long line of studio-friendly outfits that stretch basic pop melodies and lyrics over a disco framework like so much Lycra. Anchored by male and female vocals, Lasgo trade in incessantly stoked electro-beats; songs like "Something" and "Alone" (both included on Some Things) recall that fabulous scene in Trainspotting when Diane and Renton fall hopelessly into the groove--and each other--under pulsing neon. Almost cartoonishly bright, Some Things is hopelessly, relentlessly up. Saturday night just got a new soundtrack. --Kim Hughes

5.0 out of 5 stars Belgium rocks., October 19, 2003

By	liannai (NJ) - See all my reviews

Lasgo - incase you haven't heard of them, they are a three piece group from Belgium featuring Peter Lutz (who has done numerous dance remixes, Dave McCullen, and 19-year-old Evi Goffen. This album seriously rocks. Evi has such an amazing voice, especially for being so young, and Peter and Dave tie it all together with some really fantastic dance songs that get your booty shakin'! If you like other Eurodance groups such as Ace of Base (The Sign era), Milk Inc., DJ Encore f/Engelina, and Sylver among others- you will love this album. Some of the best tracks are "Follow You", "Searching", "Pray", "Something" and "Feelings". Another great track is "Cry" which is sung by David (he also sings "I Dont Belong 2 U" on the album). Overall a great CD, perfect to just put on and groove to. I can't wait to hear more stuff from Lasgo!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this CD!, July 15, 2003

By	guillermoj (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews

Many times Europop gets dismissed by mass audiences in the U.S. (with some exceptions in clubs and the like), and it is quite understandable in some cases, HOWEVER Lasgo's "Some Things" should not be ignored.

Although somewhat similar to other artists in the genre (Chicane, DJ Encore, DJ Sammy) there is an intoxicating giddiness that this whole CD seems to create. I also like that the lead singer sounds a lot like Kim Wilde. I know that Kim Wilde is no Aretha Franklin in the pipes department, but there is something unique about Lasgo that bridges the new wave and europop genres with great success. The song "Cry" takes a different route and has a Savage Garden-like feel that does not deter, but actually adds to the quality of this release

Another plus is that the songs are relatively short and don't meander forever like some of Lasgo's counterparts. This is fun music at it's most basic. Take this CD to the beach, the gym, or just play it when you want to feel carefree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Belgians Create Another EuroTrance/Pop Masterpiece., November 12, 2002

By	andy (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

"Something" is a TERRIFIC song from a Belgian trio called Lasgo. It is a Very powerful Dance/Trance song with Amazingly Beautiful Female Vocals. Music and melodies of ALL Lasgo songs are so POWERFUL, that they make me want to grow wings and fly. Simply Incredible Stuff.

This album is mainly DANCE/TRANCE/TECHNO music with beautiful melodies and Angelic female Vocals. There is a lot of energy and catchy melody in this album. There are no bad songs, and you can listen to the whole CD and FULLY enjoy every single track.

Female Vocals and Great Melodies give each of their songs a POP/RADIO FRIENDLY feel. There is a SLOW POP BALLAD (Cry). This is a true Pop Ballad TO DIE FOR. STUNNING MELODY with MALE VOCALS. "Searching" is another slower, very beautiful song.

If you like music by MILK INC, DJ ENCORE,RIMINI PROJECT, SYLVER, FRAGMA, or IAN VAN DAHL then this album is a MUST HAVE for you.

I also think that if you enjoy listening to music with very Beautiful melodies and vocals (like CELINE DION or something similar), then you definitely should check out Lasgo's Album. Fans of ROXETTE's music should like this album too.

Also fans of Old School Eurodance (LA BOUCHE, REAL MCCOY, MASTERBOY) should also enjoy Lasgo's music.

Support this Very Talented Trio from Belgium and buy LASGO'S FULL LENGTH ALBUM called "SOME THINGS". Tell your friends about them too. In my oppinion this is the best album to come out in 2002. I promise, you will LOVE LASGO's Beautiful Sound. Enjoy.
