What exactly is the Thunderpuss treatment? Just ask the dozens of artists who have benefited from their larger-than-life prescriptions for dance floor domination. TP create an in-your-face cure-all for the Saturday night blahs, where every tempo is stomping, every neuron charged, every sweat gland happy. Madonna, Enrique Iglesias, Sister Sledge, Leann Rimes, and others are offered up as vocal sacrifices here, commandeered by the Thunderpuss trinity.

The boys lay back occasionally, as with Peter Rauhofer and Pet Shop Boys' "Break 4 Love," letting the song's inner turmoil carry center stage. But Thunderpuss's take on Britney Spears's "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" shows their creativity at full force. Cutting up her little girl sexed-up vocals ("love me, love me, love me") into a whirlwind of heavenly groove, flying cymbals, and climactic ecstasy, Thunderpuss mutate common adolescent fantasy into the kind of feral, futuristic voyeurism anyone can love. --Ken Micallef

5.0 out of 5 stars THUNDERPUSS: best DJs on the scene, October 5, 2002

By	M. Rudolph (Idaho United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I believe that Barry Harris and Chris Cox aka THUNDERPUSS are absolutely the best DJs on the music scene today. They have a way of taking a song to a whole new level when the remix it. I think that this cd is a good sample of their work. I say sample because they have only included their edits on this cd. You have to hear the full club mix or anthem to fully appreciate their work. The best songs on this cd in my opinion are Don't Tell Me by Madonna, Hero by Enrique Iglesias, First Class Freak by THUNDERPUSS, and Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know by Britney Spears. As far as I know this is the only place to find Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know by Britney on cd as well as First Class Freak. Anyway, I wish they would have included some of the full length club mixes here, but nonetheless, this is still an awesome cd and I would recommend it to anyone who loves club music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present to You THUNDERPUSS!, March 20, 2002

By	The Groove (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

At long last, here is the exceptional debut mix album from the superb LA-based DJ team of Thunderpuss (Chris Cox and Barry Harris). To the average listener, their name may not ring a bell, but you have definitely heard their remixes. Madonna, Janet, Whitney, Britney, J.Lo, Enrique, Backstreet Boys and even Mary J. Blige have had their songs reconstructed by Thunderpuss. This CD compiles some of their mixes as well as a few tracks produced by others. The disc sets the tone with Madonna's "Don't Tell Me," and continues right up to the energetic rendition of Britney's "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know." Everything else in between ranges from excellent to even better: Enrique's "Hero" stands out; we're treated to Barry Harris's "I Got My Pride" with Pepper Mashay, and there's also the new TP single "First Class Freak." My only complaint is that they picked the wrong version of "Dive in the Pool;" it's not a bad remix, but they should have used the version that appears on the "Queer as Folk" soundtrack. All in all, a solid compilation that put Thunderpuss head and shoulders above many of their fellow remixers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good mix of Thunderpuss dance mixes., April 9, 2002

By	K. Eisenberger "dance music freak!" (Defiance, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Most of the songs on this cd are barely 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 minutes in length so if you are looking for longer mixes (not here). The main reason I bought this cd was for a remix of "hero" by Enrique Iglesias which is about 4:50 in length(is there nowhere in the world you can actually find a full mix of this song on cd?). I have most of the other tracks on here -Madonna's mix I think was on the import of "Don't Tell Me" and could have put the promo mix of GHV2 on here but oh well. The Britney Spears mix (6:16) is the only approaching a 12" mix length in my opinion which is really good considering it is Ms. Spears. But this cd is a very good idea of what the Thunderpuss sound sounds like .
