4.0 out of 5 stars An average of the two discs together..., December 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Urbal Beats 2 (Audio CD)

There are two discs here, and they're actually quite different from each other, so I'm going to review each disc on its individual merits.

Disc One: 3 stars. There's some good songs here (Natural Born Chillers, Fatboy Slim, Wildchild, Portishead, Uberzone) but there are many tracks that are just mediocre or disappointing (namely, the decidedly inferior mixes of the Crystal Method and Prodigy tracks) and, unfortunately, this is not a continuous mix. Finally, it could have used more tracks with less hip-hop influence... there's more than one type of techno out there.

Disc Two: 5 stars. A bunch of classics continually mixed together, the album never loses momentum and it keeps a constant groove to it. Of course, with classic songs like "Go," "Charly," "Chime," "Cubik," and "Strings Of Life," how could you go wrong?

Bottom line: the average of 3 stars and 5 stars = 4 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars A letdown, June 22, 2000

This review is from: Urbal Beats 2 (Audio CD)

This CD was a big letdown.. it was recommended by the person at the record store, looked good, etc. Basically disc 1 was too jungle for me. There are some tunes that are pretty good, but there are some downright angry-feeling ones as well. Temper-temper gave me a headache and "release YO' Delf"--well, you can figure it.

Disc 2 was much better, but still not enough to compell me to repeat the purchase.

Summary: Disc1 1-2 stars, Disc2 3-4 stars

4.0 out of 5 stars Disc 2 much better, June 19, 2000

There's another review that sums my sentiments exactly. Disc 1 gets 2-3 stars (kind of like a rap with faster beat) But disc 2 is really good; 5 stars)
