3.0 out of 5 stars Decent At Best, July 6, 2004

Ultra.Dance 05 is a below-par two-disc album. At best, it's worthy of listening to in the car or at work. I specifically rate is as "decent" since these compilation albums are never "great" and it does have a tiny few fairly good songs. Also, the majority of tracks on this album certainly do not qualify as "club dance" either. They're much too popish for that in most instances, or techno-trance in others. The first two tracks on disc one, "Love Me Right (Oh Sheila)" and "Take Me To The Clouds Above", are perfect examples of the former.

"Trick Me" is a track that I absolutely cannot stand. The same goes for "Stand Back", a hideously bad cover of Stevie Nicks' hit song. The artists on this album each have their place in music, but none of them, with the exception of Sarah McLachlan, deserve to even stand in the same room with Stevie Nicks. None of them should even be attempting to redo her songs, especially the girl on this particular track who doesn't seem to have any particularly noteworthy singing talent to begin with. By contrast, "California Dreamin'" by Royal Gigolos selectively samples the 70's classic by the same name instead of trying to redo it, and the result works well.

"Seven Nation Army" by Punk Division has received pretty good radio play in the genre. Most readers will probably already be familiar with it though you may have to hear it to recognize it.

"Never Be Alone" by Lucas Prata is about as popish as you can get (with a little techno thrown in), but it works and is a really great song. Ditto for "Love Comes Again".

"Fallen" by Sarah McLachlan is the first single from her Afterglow album and the only 5-star song on this compilation. If you don't have this single or the Afterglow album, buying this compilation is almost worth it for this single song with the few other half-decent tunes as bonus material.

"Fallen" flows well into by the trance tune "Satellite" by OceanLab which is easy to get lost in and reminiscent of tunes by Ian Van Dahl or Lasgo.

Seal reaffirms his flash-in-the-pan status with the quite forgettable (if it was so obnoxious) "Waiting For You" which starts out disc two.

The majority of the other tracks are mediocre at best, but are not a total loss.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ultra Dance 5, April 27, 2004

This review is from: Ultra Dance 5 (Audio CD)

upon listening to this album i knew that is was going to be another good mix from ultra. The first disc was alright, nothing all that great but it was still mixed very well. The second disc is where its at though. every track on the second disc i found to be very good, especially track 10. The ultra series of albums have not disappointed me yet, and i am looking forward to the next release from ultra.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Ultra compilations...., April 27, 2004

irnmtn25 (Colonial Heights, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultra Dance 5 (Audio CD)

Usually, these compilations end up having two songs that are really great...and the rest which are just either too cheesy or too heavy. This particular outing finds just the right mix of club/radio hits and bass-pumping techno tracks. Waxman and Latino do a good job of mixing it up....making the music light and fun. This CD set is a great addition to your collection if you are planning a party in the next few days! They pack in the most current club hits....just time for those late nite grill-ins! All we need now is a few strobe lights and a little bit o' the bubbly!
