Mr.President's past 3 albums in my opinion have been really poor. Their first album 'up n' away' being the only one to have a few good tracks on it but it sounds very dated now, the follow up 'we see the same sun' was pretty much the singles releases and some other bad tracks and their previous to this 'nightclub' was terrible except 'jojo action' but 1999 see's the release of 'spacegate' and what an improvement it is. Not every track is a winner but most of them are, opens with the usual intro and the track 'spacegate' which is ok, a bit bland though next up is 'all i wanna do' a strong contender for a single i think, very pop even for mr.president. T has always had the most voal input in the past but dani gets too shine on a few tracks on this album although i always thought her voice wasn't too good.'F.B.I' is a really good party track and dani's voice really suits the song.Other stand out's are the single's 'Give A Little Love' and 'Simbaleo' plus 'looking for you','i can't get enough'and'on and on'. Mr.president is not to everybody's taste for sure but if you know them or have heard one of their song's and are looking for an album ,make it 'Spacegate'

As previous reviewer Kevin said, "Space Gate" is by far the best album from Mr.President. After several albums, this German dance group has finally done a record in which their true potential comes right through. Trust me, don't bother with the group's other albums....I really wish that I hadn't wasted the money. The "Space Gate" album is a solid work with several excellent tracks. Okay, so their voices may not be that great, but the beats are. Standout songs here are many: SPACE GATE(#2)is a pretty good effort. Bordering on bland, somehow it makes a decent track. ALL I WANNA DO(#3)is a smooth euro-dance/pop track that encompases all the sounds and attitude ot true European music. SIMBALEO(#6)is the best track on this album! It is such a cool song, everyone should hear it. I love everything from the opening notes to the rap to the final beats. They really use the euro-dance sound on this one. I really can't compare this song to any others. It is very unique and completely recommended. Another excellent track is I CAN'T GET ENOUGH(#7). This is a fun, party track - reminds me a little of that Latin boy-band No Mercy(anyone remember them??). F.B.I.(#8)is kind of a James Bond-esque dance song - really nice. CACHITO BANDITO(#10) is the Latin-flavored track that every European album seems to have to have. It is actually good, though. It is not just tacked on to the album like so many of the other novelty Latin songs are. Finally, GIVE A LITTLE LOVE(#11)ties with F.B.I. for second best song here. It is a catchy song that is pure ear-candy. The only real misstep with this album is the ABBA MEDLEY(#15). Why must they be the one billionith group to try their hand at an ABBA cover?? So not worth the effort. Despite a couple of flaws (the ballads and ABBA cover), this is the only Mr.President album worth spending money on. Highly recommended!!
