This is the often-imitated 'summer house' series in the Hed Kandi range.

Yukumi, Nars feat. Emma, Late Night Alumni, Treena Rose, Miguel Migs feat. Li'sha, Kaskade, & more. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Misstep, May 22, 2005

By	Jake Z "holden84" (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The latest addition to the BEACH HOUSE series is one of the weaker entries. BEACH HOUSE is a compilation filled with house grooves with a latin feel to them. For some reason this one just doesn't add up. The good tracks though, are awesome. These include StoneBridge "Can't Get Enough", Miguel Migs "Do It For You", Kaskade "Safe", Nars feat Emma "I Wanna Know", Late Night Alumni "The Rest of me", Afterlife "Breather", Bonnie Bailey "Ever After", Peyton "I'll Rise" and Moony "This Is Your Life". There's other good moments but ultimately the collection is a little flat.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent Beach House set, August 18, 2004

By	Cardigans8 "Cardigans8" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is definitely becoming one of my favorite Hed Kandi purchases and at least matches or even beats the great 04.02 volume of Beach House. Overall, the sounds are more deep, more fresh, and more electro than Beach House usually sounds. Some of the songs are also dancier and livelier, while others fulfill the promise of sundrenched summer listening. As a whole, the album is great and has zero subpar material. Standouts include Can't Get Enough, I Love You My Hope, Aurora, Ever After, I'll Rise, and Happy. And these songs are more than worth the purchase price alone. So, if you are just getting into Hed Kandi, this would be a great place to start since it is a perfect example of Beach House and very modern in its selections. If you are already into the label and Beach House, definitely pick this up because it really lives up to the standard of Hed Kandi's excellent compilations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Impressive Find, April 28, 2007

By	Daniel (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hed Kandi: Beach House 04.04 (Audio CD)

I wasn't able to preview this set beforehand and was wondering if I would like the sound. Well, this is up there with the best of the Head Kandi and house sound. Well produced and very enjoyable tracks that make any day seem like a day at the beach.

If you like mostly top quality house vocals with some outstanding instrumentals, then this is for you.
