4.0 out of 5 stars In control and on the way up...!, November 19, 2001

By	Dale E. Hopkins, II (Lakewood, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This work could be considered Barry Harris's last step up before achieving international stardom (the first being his late 80s group KON KAN). Barry Harris, presently known for his work as a producer and remixer in THUNDERPUSS (formerly THUNDERPUSS 2000), had crafted this energetic eurodance CD as part of OUTTA CONTROL. While the sound is clearly rooted in its mid-90s flavour, the music is still as tuneful and uplifting as when it was new.

An all-time favourite of mine can be found at track number two, "Sinful Wishes". This version features vocalist Kimberly Wetmore as opposed an earlier version which featured KON KAN. There are other vocalists on this CD alongside of the ultra-fab Kimberly Wetmore and they are just as capable of fleshing out these songs with as much personality as ANYONE on the current radio lists.

Included on this disc are two remakes of classic pop songs, "Together In Electric Dreams" (originally by Georgio Moroder with Philip Oakey) and "One Of Us" (by Joan Osborne). The quality is far above the standard "remake it for the dancefloor" fodder. The original songs written for this disc were definitely worthy of airplay and its truly a shame that there wasn't enough push behind this to get it!

I sincerely hope that you will check this out if you are reading this review. This is great music to get you warmed up before answering Mr. Harris's call to "DIVE IN THE POOL"...!

By	Robby (ASTORIA, NEW YORK USA) - See all my reviews

This group has the euro sound that i always look for in a dance album. It is hard to find this sound i like but i found it hear, all the tracks are pumping, i wish they got some airplay.
