Customer Reviews:

Mainstream moment?.......2005-07-16

The editorial review says Miami 2005 has got its mainstream moments.
I would rather say the whole darn CD is one stretched mainstream moment.

Once so great and cool Azuli Records seems to be leaning back, selfsatisfied with its image of being on top of the throbbing waves of underground dance music.
But every marketeeer can tell you that to keep your image you've got to keep working on it. If an image is a promise, the stuff you do and the products you offer is keeping the promise.

The Greeks had a nice term for extreme arrogance and thinking you're the greatest: hubris. In all Greek stories, everybody who was so selfintoxicated they thought they could battle the Gods died horribly. I hope Azuli's fate is different. Work on it guys.
Nonetheless I give this CD three stars because it's problem is also its strength: you can't go wrong with it. But its too bland for greatness.
