Beautiful, Romantic Music!.......2006-09-09

Like many others, I discovered this CD because of Sex in the City and LOVE it. If "Anna" is the song that appeals to you, you'll be absolutely swept away by Regina Carter's Paganini, which is exquisite and was also played on the show.

Sex and the City.......2006-04-08

Looks like a good bit of people bought this for the same reason. Anna from the end episode "La Douleur Exquise!" of season 2 of Sex and the City. Aparently other songs from teh CD were in the show too.

I had to do a good bit of googling before I finally found out the song and artist. Listening to the whole song is no disappointment...

...however the other CDs advertized by this artest seem inordinanly different... I heard somewhere that this song was made because it did a better job of representing what the artists grandmother would have liked (who gave him everything she owned when she passed away simply because she loved the fact that he wanted to study music)...

Anyhow, the end result was a very good song.

Quite brilliant!.......2005-09-09

Like a lot of other people, my intention in purchasing this album was to hear the 'Anna' track that I had heard and fallen for on a particular Sex and the City episode. Turns out the rest of the tracks are just as magnificent. I'd highly recommend this to anyone seeking some truly touching and pleasant sounds.

Beautiful.......2005-08-18

I first heard Gunnar Madsen on Sex and the City. I couldn't figure out what song it was, but I would play it over and over with Carrie's voice over and everything. Then I figured out it was "Anna" and a moment later bought this CD. It is better than I expected, only having heard "Anna." I play this CD all the time. It is perfect for when I'm reading, driving, cooking, doing anything. It's fabulous!

I just got this CD on a lark, and I love it.......2004-12-05

This CD is amazing, It is my favorite music to cook to, and I am a great cook. Wonderful. I am buying one for my mom now.

Latino Velvet's Best.......2004-01-25

Velvetism is for all the real homies that judge music based on quality and stay away from all that commercial garbage. Every song is tight. I've been following Latino Velvet a long time and, song for song, this the their best album. It's not nearly as hardcore as Baby Beesh in Dopehouse but the beats are 95% better than most rappers. This is an album for anyone who grew up on Frost and love that pimp mode, player style.

Best album of 2002!!!.......2003-09-23

Jay Tee of N2DEEP and Baby Beesh of Potna Deuce come together and again produce a classic album. Top notch production and features make this album one of if not the best album of 2002. She Was A Hustler is a tight track featuring Mr. Kee and Merciless shines on Vamanos while What's Goin' On? should have been a certified radio hit.

You can't pass this one up.......2003-04-11

This is one of the most sickest heated laced up albums Beesh and Jay Tee have done so far, the lyrics were too tight, and the beats were off the hook, no b.s. this album is the fire. If you ain't feeling it, all I can say is you must be a square that don't deserve to have the album in the first place. Get this asap homies, alrato

West Coast Masterpiece.......2002-09-11

This is quality hip hop form start to finish, the beats are mind blowing, and the lyrics represent good west coast rap.
I am gonna be bumping this cd for a long time, it is a perfect album to bump in your ride.

COP this album it is hot u will not be dissappointed

More of the same, but some nice surprises.......2005-04-14

This review is for people who already know of Whigfield and are familiar with her earlier albums.

Was a Time is a decent return for 'Whiggy'. If you agree that all of Whigfield's albums do not vary too much from album to album, then you know what you are in for. Whigfield tends to keep writing the same tunes she did ten years ago. Is that bad? Your choice. Yet each of her albums also have a few surprises that stand out, and Was a Time is no exception.

I will highlight my favorite cuts from this album:

The "Was a Time" single (track one) is a refreshing guitar-strumming little gem. Reminds me of some of the later Ace of Base releases, or even Madonna. Her occasional chant in this tune is also a treat to the ears. An excellent choice to be the single release off of this album, yet also somewhat misleading as much of the album goes back the old-school Whigfield sound.

"Beep Beep." This is a "great great" track! This incredibly strong club track has some fat, harsh analog synth chords that add a heavier edge compared to Whigfield's typical fluff-pop kick-snare fanfare. Again we are blessed to hear her speaking voice in this minimal-vocal tune, and that irresistible Euro-accent of hers.

"Fantasy." This is TRULY the best and most outstanding cut of the entire album in my opinion. Completely breaking away from the usual poppy club tune, "Fantasy" almost makes your head turn as you think, "who is this singing??" It sounds like Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) took the mic. Truly a testament that Whigfield has an incredible voice, that in some ways seems wasted on her regurgitated tunes of the mid-90s (thankfully this CD DOES NOT contain yet another mega-mix of her old tunes on it!). "Fantasy" makes this album worth buying... truly a work of art.

"Get Get Get." As "Bigtime" was Whiggy's take on Ace of Base's "The Sign" back in the day, now she decides to try out an early Britney Spears approach. The bass line, percussion, and emphatic orchestral hits are all the ingredients for hitting this baby one more time. Not a bad thing at all, and not as blatant of a rip-off as so many artists have done in the past.

Just to give you an idea what kind of Whigfield tunes I've liked in the past, I loved the 60s tune-singles from the last album ("Doo Whop", "Be My Baby"), and from Whigfield II "Baby Boy," "Gimme, Gimme" etc... but most importantly I thought "Through the Night" was a brilliant cut... and I hated the cheesy "Whiggy Whiggle." Was a Time has some of that cheese also, with the lollipop-laden cut "Candy," and "Boys Boys Boys" with lyrics like "Boys boys boys in my bed, bedroom... how many, many, many".

If I don't sound pleased with this album, understand that it is only because I would like to hear MORE of the unique tracks that I mentioned, since I see a lot of potential for Whigfield to break out of her typical sound. I give this album 4 stars because the cuts I mentioned are incredible, a MUST... perhaps the rest will grow on me but for now it seems like fluff.

A quick review of the DVD:
If you've seen Whigfield's videos from the bonus VCD of the last album, don't expect too much of a quality difference. I was expecting higher resolution, etc... well... they don't look that much better. I've never liked her videos actually, as most of them remind me of studio-made 80s videos gone bad. Whigfield's image tends to conflict between sex symbol and a goofy child. To me in most of her videos she comes off as an older woman who desperately tries to look like a teenager. You be the judge. I should lighten up however, after all, this is pop.
