For those new to the scene..........2001-05-07

This is by far one of THE best DJ Mixes/compilations in my possesion. I don't know who did the mixing, but I feel its pretty flawless. The Ministry of Sound is actually a club in England AND a group of DJs tied together by the fact that they have spun there. (at least this is my understanding)

I feel what sets this 2 CD comp apart is its superior choice of song selection and mixing. Those really are the two most important things when it comes to albums like this. I would say this album fuses together the perfect mix of house and trance, with a little bit of electronica put in ala Chemical Bros.

For me to say whether a mix album is good or not, I simply have to ask myself the question, "Do I only like tracks x, y, and z? Or, could I seek to any part of the album and really get into it?" NEVER by a mix album if you DONT LIKE EVERY PART OF THE MIX. The skill of a club DJ is in the song selection and cross fading abilities.

And again, for those wondering what type of techno they can expect, I would say the first disc definetly emphasizes House music, with even some Garage mixed in (look at track 8). If the first disc doesn't make you LOVE house, then nothing will. The end of the first disc starts hitting upon hard house (look at track 17). The second disc has more progressive house/trance leanings. This is where the two genres (of house and trance) most closely merge. Especially pay attention to the end of the first album, which I would say is the apex of the collection.

Which brings me to my final point. This album takes you on a journey. It really does. Some people I know listen to mix albums by pressing the 'seek' button until they get to that special bass drop or build up. In the MOS millenium edition, the DJ knows when to turn down the tempo, when to build it up, and when to break it down.

GET THIS ALBUM.

Big hits, mixed with mediocre fillers.......2001-03-19

This two-disc collection along with a booklet basically sums up the club music of 1999, or at least as much of it as I know. Being new to the club music scene, I'm not one to say what songs should or shouldn't be on here. However, the selections of MoS regulars, Judge Jules and Tall Paul, do a good job of getting you moving. The hits on here are the biggest of the chart-toppers from 99, but some of the songs between these hits lag. Also, some of the mixes of the songs don't really do justice to the original. For example, the version of DJ Jean's "The Launch" gives only a small sample of the beat from the original that made the song such a big hit. In general, the peaks of the songs, the sections that we all know, are far too short. For many of the songs, like "Burnin Up" and "Toca Me," the peaks could have been doubled and they still would have been great. Overall, this collection is a fun mix of songs that get things pumping. Just be close to a remote so that you can skip some of the slower tracks and repeat your favorites again and again!
