A dance music institution, with their own label, club, and a vast roster of contributing artists to choose from, Ministry of Sound is able to draw from a deep well of resources. But instead of showing off a mix that ranges as far as their own DJ universe, their 2004 Annual compilation stays focused, concentrating on a slick, pretty blend. When it works, falling just barely toward the light before leaning over into shadow, the effect is dreamland dance, yielding subtle surprises and nonchalant mood swings. Deepest Blue starts the two-disc set off with just such a delicate gap, contrasting a cheesy vocal against a thick, electro baseline. Robbie Riveras "Girlfriend" also baits-and-switches, pummeling guest vocalist Keylimes swirling chorus with a fat verse of dark beats. The collection does push its luck sometimes: Angel Citys take on Ready for the Worlds "Oh Sheila" is one of the more unnecessary remakes. On the other hand, Tigas version of "Hot In Herre" injects white-boy electroclash into Nellys booty shaker, producing a bizarre, but fun musical marriage. Skilled at helping DJs blossom, the good people at MOS find lots of good soil in the cracks between rhythms. --Matthew Cooke

Good Annual! .......2006-08-18
Disc 2 is great as well...Milk & Sugar's "Let the Sun Shine" starts the party and the disc keeps up the good flow of songs pretty much untilt the end of the compilation...
ofcourse some great songs are missing (IMO) like Paul van Dyk's "Nothing But You" and Tiesto's "Traffic"...and others...but this Annual is still pretty strong.
I'm Lovin' It.......2004-11-17
Good effort........2004-08-16

Great to listen to over and over .........2006-08-30
1-2 Stars, Terrible. So many songs and only 3 decent tracks out of 40!! Don't buy this! Disc 2 has ZERO worthwhile songs.......2006-08-12
Deserves a second listen.......2006-02-28
Amazing........2004-06-20
Pop Music Hits (CD1) and 2004 Night-Out Music (CD2).......2004-05-12
For those of you prepping for a night club outing, CD2 excellently delivers. Ferry Corsten's mix of robotic vocals kinda sets the tempo with Rock Your Body, Rock, but Oceanlab's Justine Suissa brings back the sexy female-vocal songs with Satellite. Jes, the female singer of Motorcycle, follows with track 3 in As the Rush Comes. Excellent start for CD2 ! I would go through each song in CD2, but you'll just have to hear the CD for yourself. One more note, though: Tiesto's remix of Kiss in Shadows for the group M-Box (feat. Tiff Lacey) continues to prove him as Holland's #1 DJ !
