1.0 out of 5 stars These reviews are full of BS., February 12, 2002
By A Customer
DO NOT BUY THIS CD. This is NOT in any way Progressive House. This is corporate America bastardsizing the name Progressive to get your money. Not even close to the music. Buy the Global Underground CDs, Renaissance CDs, latest Tranceport series. This is a shameful example of how corporate record labels hurt the electronic music industry and the loyal people that follow it. Shame. Shame. I am embarrassed by this and your tactics in advertising this CD to internet forums of loyal progressive house fans. I know the old cliche "To each his own." but this a slap in the face to the progressive house community.

2.0 out of 5 stars ummm...no, January 27, 2003
By "rayvinazn" (Okinawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This CD is terrific! The uses i have found for it so far include: a Coaster, a Frisbee, and a pen holder...unfortunately, due to the fact that it is a commercialized CD for trance newbies, it has no true value as a music CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is not House, more like RAVe/Techno/Trance, August 10, 2006
By Kyle B. Swafford (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Best of House... hmmm after listening to samples I wouldn't call it house. Sounds more like RAVE music which is heavy. House is smooth and groovy. This music is hot and heavy. House makes me sway my hips, this music makes me want to jump up and down. For a good house compilation, check out Do you know house? Volume One by Dance Tracks (2001).

Not to say the cd is bad, only mislabeled. Four songs stuck out for me. Sandstorm by Darude is an absolute Rave classic. Then there is Do It Again, and Stomp to my beat. And then there is the mainstream Vengaboys Up and Down. My friend used to call their music Cheese. Vengaboys are in the same class as Effifel 65. Their music can be good for Chuck E Cheese celebration but can be annoying sometimes.

This music is a cousin of Happy Hardcore but definitely isn't house.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well, at least Tracks 2, 3 & 5 are good.
What's up with the first track anyway. Anytime a progressive hosue album tries to build itself up with an "In the beginning. . ." track...well, that's bad news. Read more
