Moon Safari

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Air

Release Date January 27, 1998
Take one pint of porn movie music, a half cup of Burt Bacharach, four tablespoons of Brian Wilson, a quarter stick of seventies easy listening music. Combine in a pot and heat until the easy listening music has melted, stirring occasionally. Add some electronica, a vocoder, some sifted driving background music, and sprinkle with some Henry Mancini. Pour into a cake pan and chill in the fridge at 40-80 beats per minute for one hour, until it sets. Make some frosting with a half cup of John Barry soundtracks and some French flavored melancholy. Top with some Muzak, if desired.
AIR is a wonderful mix of all of these. This is one of the best CHILL albums ever. This French duo has the intelligence and artistry to take all of these and make ... Read More:

Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter

by: Various Artists

Release Date September 25, 1990
Porter's good old standards; we all know them. But, I never could have imagined them done to such beats, with such rhythms. Brilliant and fun; a great discovery.

Transitions 4

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: John Digweed

Release Date May 20, 2008
Masterpiece. Pure and simple.

As a typical Digweed set, this starts off already deeper than most would have it, and obviously finishes off where nobody could ever think about going to. What I believe has Digweed standing from his brotherhood is his "introverted" quality, more a thinker, a "meta-DJ" if you want. Some may find this set to be boring since it is after all not based on a "housy", "clubby", Miami sing along vibration. Each piece flows to elaborate an intricate homogeneous ensemble in tone and rhythm. Some small element of tribal introduces the set ("From/lands"), beats which get a bit tougher and are sustaining a more electro type of vibe ("In spite", some elements of which I would compare to early Sasha's, mysterious...). ...

Madonna - Video Collection 1993-99

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
starring: Madonna, Mike Myers, Tomas Arana, Emilio Munoz, Goran Visnjic
directed by: Matthew Rolston, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, David Fincher, Mark Romanek, Stephane Sednaoui

Release Date November 09, 1999
The quality and visuals are excellent in what is presented, but this is not the true collection. Not even close. Madonna felt the need to leave out many videos that deserved to be included, why she did this is a mystery.

Having said that, what should be released is a definitive complete collection of all her videos to date, 2008. Every last one with a decent menu option available.

What appears to have happened for this video series is Madonna picking and choosing what videos she felt defined the 90's, not what her fans wanted. This item is good for the Madonna collection but leaves many things out. Next time they better include everything.

Gloria Estefan - Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Gloria Estefan

Release Date November 03, 1992
This is the only Gloria Estefan I own. I generally can't stand disco/pop and while she's really Latin, she easily fits the pop category. But she's done some beautiful ballad/love songs and her dancing stuff accomplishes what it's supposed to...it makes me want to get up and dance. This CD contains everything Estefan has done that I'd ever want or need.

Finally Woken

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Jem

Release Date March 23, 2004
I found the CD through their web site. I clicked the link for the sample song at the time, and it was pretty good. Then I clicked the link to buy the CD, and followed it to the Amazon site.

When the CD arrived, it was a good CD. On it's own merrits it is great, but the sample song wasn't even on the CD.

The four is because the CD is too good to give a low rating, but I can't give it a five due to what I percieve as questionable advertising practices. It is also possible though that I may have managed to hit the site in the middle of an update, which could explain the difference between the sample song and the CD, so I will not rate it very low.

Madonna - The Immaculate Collection
Brought back memories of a ground breaking artist who was set on showing the US and the world that a woman can be as sexual as a man. Her take me or leave me sassy spirited style set about fashion trends as well as making way for other woman who express them selves musically or sexually or art was exactly what Madonna set about to show the world. Her acts of humanity is what made this rebels anticts tolerated by many who would just wish she would go away. Well she did show them she is still going strong and has an edge we all love and adore. A must have classic take on Madonna's ground breaking and explicitly shocking historic videos. You get to see controversary at its best with the Like a Prayer video that caused an ... Read More:

Phaedra

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Tangerine Dream

Release Date June 29, 1992
Phaedra is a character nestled enigmatically in Greek myth. She's an alluring figure, but not one of the really huge mythical figures of the era, known but not well known except to the serious student. Increasingly this album has that place in rock's own history. But it's there to be discovered, or rediscovered, and pays rich rewards for the effort. Which is why, after almost 40 years, its still being reviewed, still pulling 5 start ratings, and still drawing audiences into the wonderful stories of Tangerine Dream....

Chocolate Chip

CD-Charts > Music > Dance and DJ
by: Isaac Hayes

Release Date June 20, 2007
Being a native from Chicago, Illinois, I remember playing the original record on my dad's turntable. A true classic. I truly enjoyed Isaac Hayes, recording of "I Can't Turn Around." When Farley Jackmaster Funk produced a house rendition of the track, "I Can't Turn Around," the entire city was dancing to the beat. Now, after being informed of Isaac Hayes untimely death, his contributions to R&B will always be remembered.
