Fast Forward
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
New Earth's compilation presents the best of earth-flavored chillout, melodic trance, and electronica, served up by a roster of outstanding international remixers and DJs. Irresistible beats and a resonating pulse make this dance-and-chill album a must-have for the year. A time capsule for the coming direction of global fusion and world beat.
Review:
"A diverse collection of styles and rhythms. The electronica is energyzing - I found myself moving to the beat of Fast Forward's compelling rhythms. Very different than what I usually listen to - but this one grows on you."

My favorite Spyro Gyra record, great recording.......2007-04-07
I am a songwriter/producer/engineer etc. and this is one of the records I use to test sound systems for clarity and low end. Great sounding record. The songs and the playing are stellar. I love most of what this great band has done over the years and this one is different from the others in it's striving for a decidedly different approach. That's what makes this band great, they seem to still sound like themselves, but stretch and try different things on every record they do. Highly recommended!
A review of Spyro Gyra's Fast Forward........2003-04-29
Fast Forward is a very good Spyro Gyra album. It was released in 1990. This cd would rank in my top 6 favorite Spyro Gyra albums of all time. All 10 songs have great beats and are great Spyro Gyra playing.
My top 3 favorite tracks off of this cd would probably be 1,5, and 7. Bright Lights is a nice song with great playing by Dave and a good organizational manner to it. Speak Easy is a classic Spyro Gyra song, and has a mysterious type of feel to it. 4MD is also another one of their best songs off of this album. It means for Miles Davis. All of the songs on here are terrific early 90's Spyro Gyra. It also has a nice vocal part in the tenth song.
Fast Forward is a nice, somewhat forgotten Spyro Gyra cd. It is well worth the buy, seeming of how it can be hard to find sometimes. Thank you for taking the time and generosity to read my review.
Good Instrumental Defintion But Middle of the Road Melodies.......2002-07-11
Fast Forward is another pleasing recording by Spyro Gyra. The lush sounds of the saxaphones, xylophones, guitars, keyboards, and special effects really soothe the soul. In addition, there is good balance between these instruments as one musician does not hog the spotlight on this release.
The songs on this release are a bit less defined. Whereas the styles vary from jam oriened tunes to easy listening jazz, few of them have very memroable hooks. Ocean Parkway and Para Ti Latino probably have the most memorable melodies. However, other tracks focus on incorporating too many ideas without developing any of them significantly.
A good pleasing listen especially as background music. However, the lack of consistent memorable song structure makes it fall notably short of their best release, Morning Dance.
Fabulous 1980's Spyro Gyra.......2002-05-21
If you liked Point of View and Rites of Summer, you will love this CD. To me the late 80's were the high point for Spyro Gyra. They had a refined, tight, jazzy sound. They are still great, but the additions of vocal numbers and mainstream "smooth jazz" influences have taken their toll. Listen to Fast Forward a few times and it will get keep getting better and better.
Is there light at the end of the tunnel?.......2000-12-16
Here again as with "Rites of Summer", we have a CD with one great piece, "Ocean Parkway", hence the two star rating instead of just one. The rest are unmemorable at best and a far cry from the awesome melodies of "Morning Dance", "Catching the Sun" and "Ingognito".
Advice: Fast Forward to their follow up CD, "Three Wishes". This is somewhat of an improvement but doesn't come close to measuring up to their early work.

Customer Reviews:
TRACY YOUNG IS THE S**T.......2006-05-11
This is the second CD I've bought by Ms. Young (the first was "DanceCulture"). I was a little rough on my first review and although I tried to submit another one, I couldn't.
I plan to make up for that so-so review with this review, so here goes: It doesn't get any better than this! When you live in podunk USA (as I do), anytime you can get your hands on music like this it's, well, like a gift from the heavens! The majority of people in this town have NEVER heard music like this or, if they have, they will label it "disco". Too funny. I love music that is mixed to flow one into the other and although I just got the CD yesterday, I've already just about worn it out. Very few male DJs can keep my interest in their mixes, because I've got their CDs collecting dust in my CD rack. Tracy Young delivers the goods in spades. I love every selection on this CD; however, my personal favorites are "Rapido", "Shine", and "I Believe in We".
I don't care what anyone says: this CD kicks ass. I can't wait until her other CDs arrive in the mail! I HIGHLY recommend this one!
Not enough umph.......2005-04-26
While there are a couple of standout tracks on here, the tribal and vocal mix becomes very routine, never reaching any outstanding peaks, and just sort of thumps along after a while. It's not a bad collection if you want to get your hands on a couple of rare mixes. Standout tracks for me include: Wishing You Were here, the rare Tracy Young remix of Gloria Estefan, the incredible Tracy Young mix of Cyndi Lauper, and the final track, Believe in We. Track times are mostly rather short also, but there are some pretty long versions:
1. wishing you were here (6:59)
2. That feeling (4:47)
3. Rapido (5:32)
4. wrapped (7:03)
5. Hum melody (3:43)
6. feels so hot (6:02)
7. Ferosh (6:55)
8. get back to the music (4:13)
9. drums (6:33)
10. Shine (9:15)
11. sexercise (5:34)
12. Jadore (4:09)
13. Believe in we (9:02)
Tracy Young is a VERY GOOD DJ..........2004-10-06
Regardless of the slack that Tracy has gotten for being a female DJ, it makes one wonder why, men, have such an issue with her music and perception of it. Tracy Young has a flair and a style that most people can't compare to. Come on people, life isn't always a peak hour event and an afterhour party. This CD has got to be one of the marvels of 2003. Personally got this CD signed by Tracy Young in Boston at Machine earlier this year. START TO FINISH, Tracy has blissful taste and a mixing talent like no other. Next marvel of 2004, check out JAM & SPOON TRIPOMATIC FAIRYTALES 3003, if you can get your hands on it.
Music is the Answer.............2004-10-03
Not only is this CD one of the Best continual mixed dance music compilations out there right now, it also supports Care Resource and all of those in the battle against AIDS. As if those two reasons weren't enough it has exclusive remixes and original songs by Tracy Young and will make you wanna boogie all night long.......
A must have.
It's ok for pre-party or after-party.......2004-07-17
This CD's music is too casual for the hardcore circuit. None of this music you would find during peak hour. It's great just to get things started or cooling down during an after party.

Album Description
Founding member Steve Rawles formed Belvedere in 1995. After a few lineup shifts, they released their debut, Because No One Stopped Us, on Hourglass and 206 Records. The album sold over 3000 copies and helped Belvedere in 1998's Bad Religion/Warped Tour Battle Of The Bands, when they beat out hundreds of other groups and won recording time courtesy of Atlantic Records. In the coming year, Belvedere toured the West Coast several more times, supported Bad Religion on a three-month tour and shot their first music video. This tour-hungry band has played with Strung Out, Bad Religion, Dayglo Abortions, Wide Mouth Mason, Good Riddance, Big Wig, Gob, 22 Jacks, Catch 22, SNFU, Ten Foot Pole, Diesel Boy, H2O and Chixdiggit, among others. Other Belvedere projects include several contributions to CD compilations, TV show soundtracks (Nickelodeon's Caitlin's Way, Fox Sports) and movie soundtracks (Skate Canada `00, RIDE: The Movie). Fast Forward Eats The Tape is by far Belvedere's best stuff to date. Infectious melodies and blistering speed pound through the 15 tracks that deal with everything from incessant touring and bad relationships to the joys of skateboarding.
Customer Reviews:
Belvedere.......2004-06-28
Okay... Well, as a HUGE Belvedere fan, I have to say, that this record is amazing. It puts their older stuff to shame. The lyrics have improved SOOO much, and they have alot of more melodic songs and riffs then in the past, its alot like "T'was hell said former child" only a little heavier and and in my opinion, better. Thanks.
Punk is a dish best served.... Canadian.......2004-06-06
Calgary Alberta is the town that has given us Belvedere, a punk band quite reminiscint to other "melodic hardcore" or "melodo h-core" as the kids say, as Bigwig, Rise Against, Strike Anywhere and Alexisonfire. These guys are one heck of a punk band. They can rock and funk and well maybe not funk but they sure can rock. Songs such as Two Minutes for Looking So Good or Stain demonstrate their rocking ness with their catchiness. Calgary may have the Flames, and the Stampeders but they also have Belvedere. If you can pick up any Belvedere cd, Twas Hell Said Former Child, Because No one Stopped Us, Angels Live in my Town or this. They are all wickedness in a basket of musical genius. If I could describe Belvedere in one word it would be milk. They can be soft, can go down the right way and if works properly it can be very good for you as long as you have two to three glasses. Enjoy.
Punk is alive in Canada.......2004-05-25
If you've had a chance to listen to any of their previous albums, you already know.......Belvedere is a kick ass, quality punk band. And they're Canadian!!! This album is more of the same. No gimmicks, no fashion show, just good music...which isn't overly popular these days. I recommend you go out and buy it. It'll cost you a tad more than the average CD, being that it is a small band from a small town(in the whole music biz scope of things). But do yourself a favor by reaching past the new Avril(PopStarDesperatelySeekingPunkStatus)Lavigne album, perhaps accidentally knock a few of hers to the floor, and grab a copy of Belvedere's latest and greatest.
#1 punk band.......2004-05-21
Hey dudes!! I havin't really heard the hole cd yet but the song "Slaves To The Pavement" is really good. I suggest you guys to buy it if you like all their other cds. tchow!

verrrrry interesteeeen.......2002-05-10
Ken Ishii played a very cool set, the track selection was superb, the mixing was unique.... he's a hard person to pigeon-hole as a specific type of dejay, that's what he thrives on!
Probably the best mix CD I have heard since X-Mix 1.......2000-07-28
Amazing sounds! Absolutly thrilling! This CD has not left my changer since i bought it! If you can't buy it, find a friend who has it and steal it from them!
Fast paced, upbeat, and rockin'!.......1998-09-02
Definitely part of the X-Mix family. Very smooth transitions, especially into the second part of the CD (Track 11). Love the final three tracks of jazzy drum and bass.
Ken Ishii does it again.......1998-07-15
Ken Ishii, the star-dj from the far east does it again . He delivers a fresh and surprising mix of high quality house traxes from the most different styles. Ranging from jazz to latino house this cd is worth every penny! Never boring you will get a lot of pleasure of this megamix.
P.S.: Im really looking forward to the next weekend as I will be catching im life mixing the desks at the Axion Beach Rock at Zeebrugge :-)
