Album Description

Sandra Collins is, without question, one of the most recognizable and well loved DJ's in the business. With her incessant nationwide touring, massive press coverage, top selling mix CDs, and rock star persona, Sandra has solidified her place as the top female DJ in the world. Her debut mix album for Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Records was her most acclaimed release to date, about which All Music Guide gushed, "It's been a while since any mix-CD sounded so purposeful, exciting, and vivid." On Perfecto Presents Part 2, Sandra puts forth an upfront mix of electo and vocal laced progressive house and trance that will no doubt continue the excellent pattern established on her debut outing.

10 Stars of 5 .......2007-06-22

The story is funny, i bough this cd to my Gf who loves Sandra's music, after i heard it i feel in love with this, until i could bought it for me.
Sandra kept much of her old music style and attached some more House-Progressive stuff more than P-Trance which surely amazed me when i listened this.
I still listen both discs and love them, they have "i dont know what" that makes you want to listen them all the time.
ONE+ONE & Sandra Collins Part 2 have this curious "addictive" music and they surely are worth it.
I get wondered what makes people to rate this item as 1 star?
That only shows me that their 5 stars rating can only be accepted for mediocre music style but oh well.
Who cares, just give a a listen if you enjoy club sounds.
This one surely makes the big job and heck pleased to see at least a woman Dj who rules.
Bravo Sandra.
Regards

best SC cd yet.......2007-02-14

i enjoyed this one. i happen to think it's better than any other cd she has put out...of course, her Cream cd was really good too. the first SC perfecto cd was rather...boring. this one she changes up her style. seems as though she went from trancy and progressive to trancy and electro. music changes as the years go by, and thus, good djs must go with the movement. SC polishes this 2-disker very nicely!

Dont buy this!!.......2007-01-29

A bad Dj brings us a Bad mix. Anything perfecto is not worth buying. If you are looking for quality Djing and quality electronic music. Look for the Global Underground series, Balance and anyhting Digweed, Sasha, Howells or Lawler... that is where your money should go.

5 Wine glasses.......2007-01-09

This is a bangin' CD, the second time I played it, I blew 5 wine glasses off of the shelf and they smashed on the bar. Be careful!

This Album is Bottom Heavy: CD Number 2 is Where it's at!.......2006-12-15

Just flew back to the US just to buy this album (also to celebrate Christmas). I wasn't expecting this album to be as good as the first set for Perfecto. I was right. First of all to be fair, this has not been the best year for new remixes and trance singles released by those who produce them (i.e. Gabriel and Dresden and others). Since that is the case-poor little Sandy has to settle for a little less and try to innovate in the only way she can-with the melodies and how they are mixed. The first CD has a lot of melodies that she spun at the Miami Winter Music Conference. To be honest, I wasn't too pleased with it. The first song was wicked hot and hardcore (hmm.) But the other songs didn't follow through. The second CD is the Sandra that I know and love. It flows and I enjoyed the harder trance songs with subtle house overtones. Brilliant stuff...Sandra with make you trance happy with CD 2... ;D

Very Special, very different........2006-01-23

Genre/Trance

This was my first introduction to Sandra Collins and boy was I impressed. I havent heard her name too much around the Trance circuits but let me tell you I probably own over 150 albums and thousands of Electronic Dance Music tracks(mainly uplifting Trance). Ive heard them all, Tiesto, Ferry, PVD, Oakie, Sascha, MIKE, Armin etc and this girl is definately amonst the best.

I wasnt too impressed with the cd#2 but let me tell you that the CD#1 is well worth buying this album. Actually I Love Tracks no#2 -6 are INCREDIBLE, they are crazy, mad off the hook. The whole 1 st CD flows extremely well, perfect mixing without being able to tell where one track ends and the other begins.

Fantastic track selection for this first set and you will hear songs you have never heard on any other Dj playlist. She follows no other DJ. Sandra keeps building not in each track so its not like some compliation of big hits. Rather its keeps building and building and by mid set just when you are about to get pumped she brings you back down for some more. This cd will definately put you in a good mood evertime.

This is probably not the kind of trance that you will dance to but then again neither is Armins stuff as of recent. There are also some great vocals in here that will definately do what trance is supposed to do, take you on a journey.

good to fall asleep too.......2005-02-17

I thought Sandra took it down a few notches witht this cd.
I would consider her a great dj, but I dont agree with the "progresive" tracks that she played in this cd.
On both cds I only got into to 2 songs and thats it. This cd is really slow. I played it driving from Vegas to Phoenix and I almost wrecked cause I was falling asleep.
Sandra live is much better. Sandra on other cds is much better.
Sandra on this cd is much worse. I hope she makes it up on her next cd.

Why.......2005-01-27

Why do people buy this junk. I borrowed it and it was just as I'd assumed it would be. I've also seen her in concert and she isn't much better. Must be a lot of girls giving her 5 stars since she's the only mainstream female DJ.

IF you like Deep Dish, Sassha, John Digweed, Nick Warren and Sander Kleinenberg and even Tiesto then don't waste your money on this.

Much much more than I expected!.......2004-12-30

I wanted to buy this cd for a while, specially after hearing Sandra live. However I was somewhat unsure after reading some of the reviews. But I bought it anyway and I was totally unprepared! Cd 2 is excellent without any and's, if's or but's about it...as far as I am concerned the mix is perfect(beginning, middle and end). I do agree with the reviewer that said that if cd 2 was by itself it would have gotten my 5 stars. Cd 1 has some tracks that are kind of slow and seem to drag on (mainly 5,6 and 7). Things pick up at track 8 and at the end we have the most excellent remix of Beber and Tamra's Travelling on, the song makes the whole cd 1 worthwhile. Get it you won't be sorry!

Nothing new under the lights.......2004-11-14

Really it was released in 2004!!??. Perfect for the very-last-last "matinal" (after).
