Ministry of Sound - Annual 2003 America: Mixed By DJ Sammy

Amazon.com
This sprawling trance-techno collection could be dubbed "Ultimate House Party for Dummies," as these two hit-packed discs create a rave atmosphere that would make a metalhead seem impossibly hip among the kids. Recent outings by vegan pitchman Moby, Amber, DJ Tiesto, and bedsit pop enthusiast Daniel Bedingfield, to name but four, are radically reworked into pulsing set pieces. Mary J. Blige and Kosheen are also tweaked, but it's the seamlessness of the mixes--thanks to Spain's tech-mad DJ Sammy, a star in Europe--that makes Annual 2003 America a mainstream dance floor gem. --Kim Hughes

Like comfort food but in music form..........2006-02-28

I'm all about music and this album is one of my favorites. Time and again, regardless of how many new albums I may buy, I will always return to this one. It has so many good songs on it and I can't see myself living without it. Some songs of note are "Point of View" "Blue Jeans" "Murder On The Dancefloor" "Yes" "Take Me Away" and my favorite "Wavy Gravy" which ends the session really quite nicely. It's such a great party album everyone should own a copy.

Very Dissappointed.......2004-10-27

I am a full-time dj but only a casual MOS fan. The mixing on this CD is pathetic. If this was mixed live, then my train-crash mixing has better timing than his beat-mixing. It honestly sounds like Winamp did the mixing for this CD. Vocal overlaps and poor timing destroy some good songs. The thing is, the mixes they picked for the CD are second-rate. Definately NOT the mixes I would pick. Save your money and don't patronized this hack job of mixing and music selection.

An overall pretty good job.......2003-07-22

Just 3 points:
-DJ sammy chose the (right titles) even if they were a little old but i guess that's what you do when you do the biggest dance hits of the year.
-He put them in the (right places)too.
-He used some (wrong mixes)ie. rapture, gotta get thru this, family affair, murder on the dance floor mixes could have been better

Ugh..........2003-04-23

It is such a shame that this CD is composed of poor songs. A few, such as Will I seem to have an uplifting beat, but generally, this CD is not all that good. As a tip, i would advise you download the songs on [local website] and see if thay are even worth your money to buy. Why pay for a CD with like 25 songs, when only 3 or so are even worth your time!?
