I buy a lot of the Happy Boys cd's and expected this one to be equally as good. It was disappointing to say the least. Derb is probably the only song I cared for.

1/2/05- This is the first CD I've gotten mixed by the Happy Boys, and it is probably the last. The reason why I wanted to check out this CD was because I had heard the songs Derb and Addicted to Bass on other CDs, both of which I like and figured that this could be okay also. The majority of these songs did not interest me at all. Songs on here like "Supadupafly," "Operation Blade," and "On the Move" are just not really what I'm used to hearing. But, this is the first CD I've ever gotten with the title "Techno" on it. Normally my CDs are entitled House or Trance or Club but never techno. Oh, yes, and the mixing is not very good.
6/3/05- In response to the review after mine... I did not get the CD just to listen to Addicted to Bass and Derb, I got it because I thought it would have other goods songs as well. Please read reviews CAREFULLY before you just make a response to them.

I've really enjoyed this CD. I've listened to it many times over, usually when I'm working out or studying. It keeps the adrenaline high and the blood flowing. Looking forward to volume 2.

Despite the extremely cheesy title, Techno Party vol. 1 is worth a look. Not every song is a gem, but there are some great tunes that are extremely fun to dance to. My personal favorite is Supadupafly, and Don't Go is very catchy.

While many of the songs on this CD have better versions floating around out there (Alpha Twins' Smack my Derb is better than this album's version, which is just Derb), Techno Party vol. 1 collects several favorites in the genre. Definitely worth your time if you enjoy electronic music.

The "Party" in "Techno Party" is exactly where this album falls in the midst of similar various artists compilations. It's a really rockin', pumping beat, aggressive mix of techno music, perfect to keep you awake while working out, hacking on your computer, etc. I have to give it three stars because, as good as it is, a compilation techno album like this one that isn't groundbreaking simply doesn't have the lifespan to merit a higher ranking.

I was very dissapointed with this. The strong structure of the songs is pretty weak. What the other reviewers think is good about this one is beyond me. I do agree with another reviewer concerning the mr.deviant CD "Techno Obsession". At least that has power and some solid song structure....this "Techno Party" just falls flat

I hate picking up these CDs and always seeing techno imprinted on it, like "this CD is packed with great techno songs" and no one who released the CD knows the difference between techno and trance...or they do and like misleading the public. Either way, the CD wasn't horrible.

I love the Ferry Corsten, Rhythm Gangsta, Marco V, and Warp Brothers' tracks, but the rest fall short in originality. I've heard songs like the one released by Jimmy Goldschimtz and Aquagen far too many times to listen to the whole song anymore. And tracks like 4 Clubbers released just ripoff New Order's remixed song...terrible. I'm not one for remakes of songs like "Don't Go" by Andre Visor, so I won't critique it anymore than they all should be destroyed.

If you want a better collection of techno variants, try something by Digital Empire, like any of their first volumes of tracks. That would make for a more well-rounded party techno.

this album is what it says A Techno party the songs
like Godd,Superdupafly,and Operation blade are definately
techno i dont know why anyone would buy the cd just to listen to
derb and addited to bass which i think are the least techno and probably more trance songs on this album i do respect trance its awsome but spoken as a true techno fan you should love the sounds of this cd ! Phat bass , trippin beats , this cd is perfect for a rave
