There's a Party Up In Here!!.......2002-07-28

Wanna get a dance compilation that's jumpin' but has none of the cheese you'd find in American discs like "Totally Dance?" Then get Ministry of Sound's 2002 Annual, which is two discs of some of the most popular international club hits. The first disc consists of Eurodisco and some light touches of house, while Disc Two has fast-paced, energetic trance. My favorite disc is definitely the second one, which is the more consistent and engaging of the two. "Will I" by Ian Van Dahl, "Resurrection" by PPK, and the long forgotten SNAP! are among the better cuts that make up this disc. Disc One also stands out thanks to "Where's Your Head At" by Basement Jaxx, the Eurodisco of DB Boulevard's "Point of View," and a really interesting cover of Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night" by Tiga and Zyntherius. Unfortunately, Disc One wears out its welcome by the final quarter, with lesser tracks that stray off course and threaten to drag the disc down. That gripe aside, it's hard to dislike this release. Ministry of Sound has put out quite a number of overall solid collections, and the Annual 2002 is no exception.

Ministry delivers!.......2002-05-07

MOS delivers another double CD just in time for the Summer clubbing kick offs and they don't fail to disappoint.

In a compilation market with little differentiation in track listings, MOS deliver many first time comp releases.

CD 1 follows a good tough funky house route, with highlights being the disco filtered Love will set you free (Ibiza smash I sense)and Shakedown - funky stuff indeed. Played this CD at a party on Sunday night and it outlasted all the usual cynical taunts to switch the CD so it must have some staying power.

CD2 then typically beefs the beats up further and meanders through a stomping trance odyssey that, despite the short mixes commonly found on compilations, still creates a whirlwind journey. Track highlights on CD 2 include, Peran Good - Times, Coma Nova - Wishful thinking (already pre-ordered for my vinyl collection) and the stunning Aquanauts Deep Sea.

If you buy your compilations to get a taste for what's going to be big this coming summer, then MOS Spring 2002 is as good as they come and points to another year of strong dance music capable of crossing over into the mainstream charts.

Enjoy
