Editorial Reviews

Much like the '80s house-music scene, where DJs were spinning vinyl in Chicago hot spots like the Warehouse, the Respect nightclub is fueling a dance culture that reigns in Paris. Respect Is Burning, Volume 2 is another grand compilation of the club's late-'90s dance anthems. With artists like Deejay Punk-Roc and Avalanche providing inventive tracks and underground DJs like Motorbass contributing exciting remixes, this collection includes several dance-floor classics. Including music by DJs from America and England, the French dance scene has a true international perspective. Mixing contemporary tunes like "Music Sounds Better with You" by Stardust (that's Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk) with a retro-dub version of the dance classic "I.O.U.," volume 2 celebrates diversity without ever relinquishing the essential good-time vibe. --Mitch Myers

Man this crap blows.......2005-12-09

I'm glad I listened to my friends copy before I bought it or I would've been mad. I listen to a LOT of electronic music mind you, a LOT so its not like "I don't get it". But these tracks are BAD (and not in a good way). Pretty much all of them sound like someone hitting a trash can with a stick over and over. The drum sequences are unoriginal, uninspired, repetitive, annoying. And there is high hat abuse/overuse all over this CD. I HATE THAT. That incessant high hat *psst psst psst psst* for 6 minutes straight without any variance at all going 130 beats a minute. Makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

Better DJ sets: Chris Cox--12 Inches of Cox, Tall Paul--Duty Free (both of them), or pick up CDS of virtually anything BT or Oakenfold puts out.

The beat goes on..........2002-01-23

A truly excellent compilation that hits all the right notes and puts French House on the map. Standouts include Mysterious People's "Love Revolution," the playfully sassy "I'm the Baddest..." by Norma Jean Bell, and "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust. Not a dull moment. There will be uneducated consumers who will purchase such drivel as "Totally Dance" and there are sophisticated listeners who will pick up a classy collection like "Respect is Sleeping." Which group would you rather belong to?

Real good!.......2001-08-20

There is nothing more to say. It is already mentioned in the other reviews. A real cool variated cd!!

Awesome French House.......2001-02-12

Ever since I went to Paris last year, I have been hooked on French house music. It is a unique blend of Euro-disco, trance and big beat, which is perfect for dancing. This album is awesome because it features some of the biggest tunes from the last 2 years. Stardust's "Music sounds better with you" is here, as well as DJ Punk Roc's "My beatbox". Mysterious people is also represented, with a swinging mix of "Love Revolution". If you like Cassius, Les Rhymes Digitales, Basement Jaxx or Daft Punk, you definitely need to get this CD. You won't regret it.

French disco for when you need a glitter rush.......2001-01-09

Here we go with the second "Frenchy" - their term - dance compilation paying honors to the Respect club night, and featuring exclusively French house artists. The main reason for picking this baby up hasn't changed since it's release; Stardust's 1998 anthem "Music Sounds Better With You," the scrumptious disco mover with that Daft Punk sound (as well it should with 1/3 of Stardust being ½ Punk - got it?) still sounds as potent as ever, here served in extended form on perhaps the only domestic release comp to have it.

But there are other songs here that cater to the house fans: "Penthouse" is a simple but effective floor-shaker, and "Where Does Your Mind Go" drops the pace while adding strong vocals to the mix. Included is some filler, yet only "I'm the Baddest" is truly skippable amongst the near-dozen tunes. And I have to mention the notable "My Beatbox" remix by Les Rhymes Digitales, perhaps the most loveable piece of cheese to hit disc in years thanks to an absurd voice box, electro beats, and 80's style keyboards. A fabulous example off all the wrong elements coming together in just the right way.

This isn't the deepest album around, and the oft-disposable nature of disco hurts the long-term value, but sometimes you just want a sugar rush. Grade: B-
