House Rockers Please enter the Club!!!.......2004-05-16

If you are or were in my case, a serious house music aficionado, this CD is a must! If you were just a casual listener then don't buy, pick up a Donna Summer album or something to that effect. If you can identify with Womack & Womack, Weather Girls, Brothers Johnson, Roy Ayers, Sylvester, Jocelyn Brown etc. you got the right CD!!!
This is not for "percolators", Old School Rockers only!

Jersey is in the House.......2003-05-24

Now if you grew up in Jersey especially North and Central Jersey you know that we love underground club classic hits one song you will always hear if you are drving around Newark is BABY I'M SCARED OF YOU by WOMACK AND WOMACK reminds me of my childhood and watching your parents dance in the basement parties when the kids were supposed to be sleeping Great memories!

Save your money.......2003-02-24

Touch and Go and Love is The Message was the only reason to give the cd 2 stars, it is really not worth buying maybe you can find other cd's w/ above listed songs w/ better choices.
Save your money!

stood the test of time...........2002-05-06

First, get all 3 volumes, put 'em on your multi-disc cd player, then let these dancefloor gems do their thaaang... Can be played at a bbq on Memorial Day, July 4, Labour Day, etc... or while you're playing Twister (tangled up in a pretzel position while trying to grab that Bacardi & Coke that's waaaay on the other side of the mat ;) whatever... you get the idea. Your cooler friends will scream and shout when their favorite joints get those memories flooding back.

A Thoughtful Series.......2001-09-08

Give Your Body Up is an interesting collection of discs. It achieves its aim of preserving foundational songs essential to the progression of modern dance club music. The discs contain rareties that are difficult to find elsewhere. Each disc in the series, this one in particular, may cover too much ground and have too much variety. There was a good bit of difference stylistically between the Philly Sound and string/horn drenched dance music of the 70's on the one hand and the synth-based, drum machine sound of the early and mid 80's on the other. Both decades are intermixed, not in chronological order. So we find the organic, gospel-inflected "Over and Over" next to the electronic "BRA," the orchestral "Love Is The Message" alongside the reggae-laced "Now That We've Found Love." As a source for songs, however, this series is definitely different from those "Disco" sets that focus on radio hits.

if it were not for this disc I would have never found a copy of Alicia Meyer's doing I Want to Thank You I instantly became a fan of the series and brought the othert two to add to the collection I suggest when you have old friends over and want a quick game of remember when pop in these CD's and relive some great memories again

More than five stars.........2000-06-24

Anyone who has experienced the club scene (especially NYC) in the late 70's and early 80's must get this CD POST HASTE! I'm sitting here right now taking a trip down memory lane. The compilation of songs is PERFECT. That rarely happens. All of the selections are not only awesome but arranged well in their order. I seriously urge anyone who was growing up through that period (and enjoyed it) or who is curious about the club music to get this CD. Make no mistake, club/house music has a totally different flavor than your garden variety "disco".

Combining the talents of the internationally renowned DJ John Digweed and the lesser-known but formidable producer Nick Muir, Bedrock broke wide open with the massive 1999 trance anthem Heaven Scent. This collection starts with a glorious, remixed version of that song and doesn't let up, launching into an impressive array of energetic trance. Bedrock doubles as the name for Digweed's U.K. club as well as the pair's label, so much of the record is given over to other like-minded DJ's and producers associated with the twosome. Each gets a chance to spin their finest wax. Danny Howells, who released a fine contribution to Global Underground's "Nu-Breed" series last year, gets his licks in early, mixing up the second track, "Repercussion" with a typically lithe touch. The great New York DJ Jimmy Van M and Austin Leeds make appearances as well, with Leeds giving a graceful feel to the second disc's more ambient leanings. --Matthew Cooke

Sorighty..........2005-01-07

K well first off, I'm not the biggest Austin Leeds fan out there. I first heard a few of his tracks on the Digweed&Sasha 'Communicate' CD and I really didn't care for his tracks. So it saddens me to see Austin Leeds dominate the track listing here. All in all, the rest of the CD is good. I luv Steve Lawler and find his music reaches me. The other selected Artists are good too. And the remix of Heaven Scent is a classic as well. This compilation would have received more marks if the artist selection was more varied and also had more rare or unreleased material on here. Finally it would be nice to see John Digweed release an Artist CD as well. Oakenfold and Sasha both have there's, lets see Digweed give it a try!!

A solid buy for progressive DJs and hard-core Bedrock fans.......2002-12-09

The ultra-trendy progressive house label Bedrock (founded by John Digweed) released FOUNDATIONS in 2000. This two CD collection brings together many unreleased remixes of tracks features on the label, and it's a interesting release both for DJs who want to get their hands on tracks not found anywhere else and for fans of progressive who just want to hear more of their favourite producers.

FOUNDATIONS opens with Bedrock - "Heaven Scent (John Johnson Mix)". It's a great mix, even though "Heaven Scent" in all its forms has been played out since its appearance in 1999, this is one of this collection's more captivating tracks. The two remixes of Science Dept. tracks, "Repercussion (Funk Function's Future Mix)" and "Persuasion (Dominica Mix)" are slow, hypnotic songs that would be easy to build a set up with. Van M & Leeds - "More (Austin's Unreleased Mix)" is an idiosyncratic mix that regrettably sounds too dated for use today. Ditto for the two Moonface tracks here; "Futurised Fears" and "Overactive" were key tracks in the progressive house scene of two years ago, but now could be attacked as bog-standard progressive fodder. Disc 1 closes with Bedrock - "Voices", which is a track that I think has gotten better with age.

The second disc of FOUNDATIONS is a bit more anthemic. It opens with Mainline - "Narcotic." Featured one Sasha and John Digweed's COMMUNICATION collaboration, this deep and organic track is so subtle that it may only work as an opening to a set, but it's fantastic nonetheless. Austin Leeds - "Force 51" is an incredible track, featuring a slow buildup to chugging synths that still refrains from being cheesy, and it is perhaps the best track on FOUNDATIONS. Leed's other track, "Moondriver", is a less anthemic track that moves along just fine. The fourth track, Steve Lawler - "Rise 'In (Nalin & Kane Vocal Mix") is the low point of this collection, as the atrocious vocals ruin what is instrumentally a solid track. Happily, FOUNDATIONS swiftly recovers with Saints & Sinners - "Pushin Too Hard (Futureshock's Confession)", an excellent remix that keeps all the catchiness of the original but is full of added surprises. Alchemy - "Bruiser (Evolution Mix)" is a wispy, ambient remix like much of Evolution's work, but with its odd tempo jumps does something new. Revolt - "Moonlit (Room Drumland Mix)" is one of Revolt's most disappointing tracks, but a DJ might find room for it at the end of a set.

If you are just the average fan of progressive house, FOUNDATIONS isn't worth getting. This unmixed collection is really for DJs and hard-core Bedrock fans, who will find a lot to like in it.

Rare Grooves.......2004-10-02

First of all, this CD is very hard to find now because it's out of print for long even though it's rather popular among collectors like me. You should buy it if you are a real disco music fan and able to find somewhere, I think. Give Your Body Up series includes many rare disco tunes, moreover, in the extended versions in most cases. But this Vol.1 is most recommendable. I like Why Leaves Us Alone and Bad For Me, both of which are exciting up-tempo disco gems and really really hard to find on any CD. The disco version of Free Man is also good.

CLUB CLASSIC & HOUSE FOUNDATION REVIEW.......2002-09-15

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES TO DATE, ALL THREE VOLUMES HAS CLASSICS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD IN YEARS. I HAVE ALL THREE AND I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH 4,5, AND 6.

HEY, NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!.......2002-05-25

Great collection of dance-cuts. I have volume 1-3, and I'm glad I decided to buy them. With the exception of a couple of songs, all the jams are full-length extended versions. This is what I've been asking for all along. The average person from that era don't want alot of three-minute cuts from back in the day. Hey, we want the whole un-cut versions and this series delivers.

Plus, while listening to it, I came across a few long-loved jams that I haven't heard in years (decades, even). For instance, as soon as I heard the song "BRA" by CYMANDE, man, I almost cried. And then there's the vocal-version of the jam, "ALWAYS THERE" by SIDE EFFECT. Man, I was looking for these cuts; in CD-format, for a long time.

Hey, if your on a serious quest for great un-cut dance-jams from back in the day; you definitely can't go wrong with "GIVE YOUR BODY UP", it's one of the best series.

Lives up to expectations... kinnda.......2002-01-17

Prog gods Digweed and Muir drop another jewel in the form of Foundations Granite. The unmixed Foundations, a two disc set, was amazing and showcased the label's talents. Much is the tune in Foundations Granite, still unmixed and still with the deep tech groove of its precursor.
Pole Folder & Cp's Apollo Vibes (Track 2)is the 1st to hit hard, its long and spacy as ever, and with its baseline the longer the better. As for funk side of things look no further then Track 7 (Tijuana - Groove is in the Air [Moonface mix]) the synth is extremly catchy.
The only two disappointments I see on the disc is the Brancaccio & Aisher mix of Sanctuary, the original was prefect and the change is not to my liking, also this disc in devoid of Space Department (Danny Howles and co.) who made a large presence on the original Foundations also Salt Tank's Energy would have been nice too.
Over all its full of that trademark Bedrock flow, deep progressive with tech in the middle. The prefect Digweed & Muir blend.

For the devout progressive house fan only.......2001-10-15

Seems John Digweed and Nick Miur's label has shifted up a notch, cranking out a new disc around every other month. This time, it's likeminded artists reworking their own, with a collection of unreleased long and longer remixes to tracks progressive house fans probably have half of already.

Yet there's still some extra mileage left to be squeezed out. Brancaccio & Aisher, riding a successful streak of remakes, lead off with the best in the bunch, chilling Jimmy Van M's thunderous "Sanctuary" to a mid-tempo moody opener filled with beat dropouts and barest scrap of the original. Oko Tek's "Luminous" runs against the rest by skewing trancey for a pleasant change, and Rui Da Silva's newer version of "Beautiful Strange" certainly wins the My Ain't That Out There award.

On the downside, Pole Folder & CP's new version of "Apollo Vibes" just ups the speed a tad, lasting approximately forever and two minutes in the process. Let's call a moratorium on space chatter for at least a year while we're at it.
