For Richard Humpty Vission, quantity is king. The man throws vinyl around like a circus performer doing knife tricks, grabbing his 10th record about the time most DJs are still spinning their first. Like Frankie Knuckles on a massive amphetamine dose, Vission's blend of progressive acid house and urban funk becomes a restless sound all its own when he's working at full strength. That sound can be at turns exhilarating or exasperating, depending on how skillfully he manages his high-wire act between variety and continuity. Last year's Shut the F*** Up and Dance was an impressive but only half-successful attempt, as Vission struggled to maintain a consistent vibe over the course of that record's 54(!) tracks. Here, having pulled back to a relatively paltry 34, the tracks blend efficiently enough to allow the listener time to take in just how infectiously danceable Vission's manic approach can be. Still, he demands quick, sometimes abrupt, adjustments. When the needle drops on the Adrenaline single "Damn That DJ Made My Day," which justifies its title-track status with an incredibly catchy refrain and mountainous bumps, Vission's sudden switch to a stirring Martin Luther King snippet is just too jarring. Overall, however, he pulls it off, creating a disc that, at times, threatens to fly right out of the player in protest over the sheer number of grooves it's being asked to carry out. --Matthew Cooke

5.0 out of 5 stars Damn!! That DJ DID MAKE MY DAY!!!, July 11, 2001

By	"vytooooo" (Dayton) - See all my reviews

RICHARD HUMPTY VISSION, known for his progressive mix style packs 34 innovative house tracks into 60 minutes of listening with this latest compilation album, DAMN THAT DJ MADE MY DAY. The album which I believe, represents VISSION's most dynamic work to date.

For DAMN THAT DJ MADE MY DAY-his eighth album, second for Tommy Boy-VISSION enlists special guests DJ Swamp, the 1996 U.S. DMC turntable champion who has recorded with Beck, Morcheeba, and The Crystal Method, as well as Chicago house chanteuse and turntablist DJ Mea.

For the raver kids and hard house fanatics, the hands will probably raise highest for the Ferry Corsten/DJ Tiesto track "Gouryella (Transa Remix)." Deep house heads will probably want to skip to the end of the CD, where the BPMs drop down, and the mixes get longer with tracks such as "Finally" by Kings of Tomorrow featuring Julie McKnight. Filtered disco heads will jump to moments such as Static Revenger's "Happy People" and Conga Squad's "I Lost It." Somehow or other, Vission -- aided at points by DJ Swamp and Chicago house diva DJ Mea -- manages to unite it all with a flawless mixing technique and firm grasp of dancefloor dynamics. The multi-dimensional RICHARD HUMPTY VISSION has emerged as an innovator of house music and has revolutionized the industry with his eccentric style of mix, and this CD Truely Deserves 5 Stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars RHV rocks the house, January 14, 2002

By	montie (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

I thought the CD was awsome. I really liked RHV's song selection. I thought his mix of House ain't given up with Phat bass was extra cool. I liked how he went allover the place with the cd. He has some hard house, funky house, and deep house, with some trance thrown in for good measure. I think he did a really good job of mixing all these things together. He did use a bunch of tracks I've heared many times before, but they were all really good tracks, and he did a great job with them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only average, July 14, 2001

By	Craig Hawkins (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was pretty excited to see RHV having a new CD out. Although his last CD "Shut the f**k up and Dance" was "mixed" together with neck-breaking speed, it still managed to get me pretty pumped up.

His new effort is good, however it doesn't have the energy that his last CDs have had. It tries, but I think the music selection is lacking in most aspects. This isn't to say I didn't enjoy it, because I did. However I was looking for something with a little more kick. I am also disappointed to see him depart from the hard crunching Chicago style of house and trade it in for more of a trance flavor.

Maybe next time. :) DamnDJ
