Not Bad.......2005-08-04

This double album has plenty of songs on it from a certain era. Some of the songs seem a bit dated, but it has about ten real winners on it. It could be for you.

excellent complimation.......2005-01-01

this complimation cd is HOT 2 DEF!!! you think you know but you have no idea.... this cd could play in my cd player for life... it has all kinds of hits...

you cannot lose with the best track on the album 'in a dream' by rockell.... this song was the perfect skating rink song... the beat to the song sold me...

they have a bunch of others that are excellent pieces of work...
melanie c. aka sporty spice-"i turn to u"
deborah cox- 'nobody suppose to be here'
jocelyn enriquez-"do you miss me>?'
the bucketheads-'boom!"
madison ave.' don't call me baby'
amber- 'this is your night'
aqua- 'barbie girl'
alice deejay-'better off alone'

the only song i hate is the 'blue' song... that song is too friggin annoyin... and there are a few fillers but the songs listed makes up for it....

if you like to party for hours buy it.... parties will go all night....trust me..

I've been looking for a copy of this re-made club version of "Heaven" since it came out when I got engaged to my now husband 3 years ago. To me, it made the cd worthwhile. The other songs are good, stuff that's been out and I've only heard snippets of but remains familiar. I listen to it while washing dishes. Sure does make the time fly...

Completely worth the excessively cheap price..........2006-10-09

I've listened to this hot disc 25 times in the last 3 days.

My fave? Gay Dance Goddess Deborah Cox with her dancealicious remake of "Something Happened On the Way To Heaven", originally an 80's chart topper for Phil Collins, and remixed by the effortesly talented Valentin.

I've had that song on repeat for the last 45 mins.

A bit of a fanatic, huh?

But not in the Glenn Close "bunny in the pot" way. ;)

Toss in the sexy soulful voiced Christina Aguilera with her GLAAD award winning "Beautiful"... hottie Adam Levine and Maroon 5 with "This Love (and another of their singles mixed in)... and another Vixen of Soul, Angie Stone with "Wish I Didn't Miss You" and you have a great spinner.

For you 80's lovers of Madonna, U2, Steve Winwood, and Boy Meets Girl... that makes it a well-rounded disc.

Add Beyonce, Britney, Kelis, Lasgo, Kelly, Thrusting of Narcotics, Miss Osbourne and, well...

You'd have to be headless to not enjoy this disc and play it at your next party.

Cheers to Karen Walker... she of the "headless" horsevixenz.

Of course, Amazon delivers on the price. They always do.

Cheers and shakes of the tail featherz -

Although the CD is good, be aware that the CD is NOT the entire set offered by Musicspace. There are actually 2CDs and the product offered is only the first CD. I was disappointed to find this out when I received the shipment.

Great Album. Better than Ultra Dance 07........2006-03-12

Fired Up 3 is 10 times better than Ultra Dance 07.I have been listening to Fired Up 3 over and over for the last 2 weeks and still enjoy it. I could not stand listening to Ultra Dance 07 after only 2 days because of the crappy mixes.

Decent, but could have been so much more!.......2006-03-03

I'm slightly disappointed with this third issue of "Fired Up." It features too many U.S. Pop songs that are not that great in a slower or faster context, the main offender being the mundane single by "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson. So many of the songs on Disc 1 have been overplayed by radio, especially in the Northeastern U.S., so many who have the CD-singles to such singles as "Milkshake" by Kelis, "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce, "Something" by Lasgo, etc., you don't need this CD. There are song noteworthy singles here such as Deborah Cox's #1 Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart hit and Rhythmic format radio hit, "Something Happened On the Way To Heaven", the U.K. #1 hit and "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz, "One Word" by Kelly Osbourne, her big Stateside Club hit, "I Wish I Didn't Miss You" by Angie Stone and "I Like It" by Narcotic Trust. The lesser singles should have been replaced by higher quality songs have were original produced for the Rhythmic/Dance radio format such as Kylie Minogue 2004/2005 Stateside club hits and internation Pop chart smashes, "I Belive In You" #3 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play and "Giving You Up", Amber-"Just Like That" the (Jason Nevins Radio Edit), Suzanne Palmer-"Luv 2 Luv", Jody Watley-"Whenever", Anna Vissi-"Call Me", "My Time" by Dutch feat. Crystal Waters, Kristine W.-"Save My Soul" and Donna Summer-"I Got Your Love." All of those hit singles would have been vastly superior hits by solo artists to be included on this third volume of "Fired Up." The superior two disc version of "Fired Up 3" features a second disc of awesome Stateside Club hits and mainstream European Pop chart hits such as "Love On My Mind" by Freemasons feat. Amanda Wilson, "Lola's Theme" by Shape U.K., "And She Said" by Lucas Prata, "Come Rain Come Shine" by Jenn Cuneta and many more! Overall, this one disc version of "Fired Up 3" is decent at best with far too many remixes of mostly mundane and bland Pop songs to be taken seriously by lovers of the Electronica/Dance genre. I suggest any albums in the "Circuit Boy" series if you want more Electronica/Dance genre hits and less pop song remixes. Get the better two disc version instead if you desire. Hope this review is helpful to you.

An Short Review From A Fan Of The Series.......2006-02-22

I have purchased the previous Fired Up! releases in the past and haven't had a single complaint on them until now. This CD, Fired Up! 3, is the worse of them all. There are 18 total songs on the CD and I'd say about 13 of them are good. I don't hate this CD, don't get me wrong, it's just that they try to turn to many slow songs into a fast moving techno song. My favorite track on the CD is number 9, "Into The Groove" by Mad' house. I mean seriously, how can you turn Christina Aguileras "Beautiful" into a techno song. Anyways, I'd recommend the CD if you like techno because like I said, half is AWESOME and half is CRAP.

Your "best shot" for Pat Benatar compilations.......2007-04-05

As far as compilations go "All Fired Up" is a VERY comprehensive overview of Pat Benatar's career and great starting point for fans and casual listeners alike. I have many of her old albums on vinyl and didn't want to really replace them individually on CD but effectively did that with this compilation. Most of the tracks you could possibly want are all here including all 15 of her Top 40 hits, fan favorites, and awesome album tracks that weren't singles like "Hell is for Children," "I Need a Lover," and "Lipstick Lies." It's easy to caricature Benatar as the prototypical rocker chick, frozen forever in her 1980s video glory, but "All Fired Up" helps to shatter that by showcasing later tracks from her releases "True Love" and "Gravity's Rainbow," capturing her full range and charting her growth as an artist and vocalist.

"All Fired Up" is a superior collection especially compared with the skimpy offerings on "Best Shots," her other greatest hits compilation. The sound quality here is overall pretty good but the packaging doesn't include much more than track listing information and a lot of wonderful photos. If you're looking for your "best shot" at a Pat Benatar compilation THIS is the one to chose!

Mostly Good.......2006-03-15

This CD has many good songs, however, there are also a few songs that seem like filler. Overall the CD was good. Just get rid of the fluff

Good Dancing.......2004-08-31

Unlike a lot of the other reviewers, I was a baby when these songs first came out so this has nothing to do with nostalgia. I just like the songs. Some are very catchy and I like to dance to them. There are a few clunkers (like Insomnia) but the good outweighs the bad.

Fires me UP!.......2004-02-28

If you were dancing at disco techs in the 90s, this album will bring back tons of memories. I really can't think of a better name for the compilation...'cause this album sure fires me up!

Great Collection, but with a few lows.......2004-02-12

I just love this collection. Has a lot of the cool dance songs I like.

I think the only dishonorable mention is the awful version of "I see You Baby", much worse than the original Groove Armada version.

But sure the good songs make this disc totally worth the money and the wait.

Gets Me Fired Up!.......2004-02-05

My friends and I are in LOVE with this CD! It makes us extremely psyched up for a long day of classes. We crank it up during Journalism Class. Our favorite tracks are I Turn to You, Feels So Good, Do You Miss Me (Now That I'm Gone) and In A Dream. BUY IT!

Intelligent dance-oriented songs.......2004-11-06

Funky Green Dogs' debut album "Get Fired Up" is an awesome album of Progressive House with some Tribal beats in the mix. Includes the awesome hits "The Way", "Fired Up", "Some Kind of Love " and "Until the Day." The vocals are very good as well as the lyrics. This was only the beginning of what of what the Murk boys could do. Recommended.

Dont hate on this album!.......2004-01-19

There are more hot tunes than not on this album! All the haters of this album were the very ones shakin their a** all night long on the dance floor whenever they played it in the club. The very ones who can sing "Fired Up" and "The Way" and even "So Good" word for word. Ok, I admit the lyrics aren't that difficult to learn after listening for 45 seconds of play but still! They're catchy!! Hot beats! As far as composition the interlude tracks made no sense to me, however this album still gets me moving. The tribal sounds are still as fresh today on this album as they were back in the mid 90's when it released. And Pamela Williams vocals are strong and evoke a feeling of freedom and empowerment from within on every track. I feel that this is definately a upbead, feelgood cd worth having in your collection.

okay effort........2000-01-14

i first became aware of fgd in the early 90's with a track called "reach for me". the group was actually called "funky green dogs from outer space" at the time and their sound was fresh and live. when i saw that they had a full-length album, i snapped it up immediately - i was thrilled to find it. however, i wasn't thrilled, but not exactly disappointed by the album when i first listened to it. it just did not contain songs with the same drive and energy as their earlier works. admittedly over time, the cd has grown on me and makes good background music, but i don't ever select it as a "warm-up" cd for getting me in the mood for dancing and it is far from being a favourite.

Repetitive, monotonous.......1999-02-25

I bought this because of the fabulous singles, "Fired Up" and "Until the Day". I now know why that's all we heard in the clubs. The same dull lyric over and over again, along with the same dull beat. And what is with the almost nil mention of their only asset, vocalist Pamela Williams, in the credits.

These Green Dogs are'nt funky enough!.......1998-08-25

This Cd was a real disapointment after I heard good things about the two dj's that comprise the funky green dogs. I was expecting something original and off the wall. This Cd is a collection of R&B songs not groundbreaking dance music. It was just not funky enough for me.

Album Description

This is the third CD for Hamilton Loomis and it brings to mind the soulful rhythms of the Memphis Sound of the "60s-horn-driven, bluesy, fat and funky sound. Hamilton co-produced this CD with King's X veteran Steve Ames, and wrote nine of the eleven cuts. He also wrote and arranged all the horn charts, and plays some hot harp and keyboard solos as well as his "Fired Up" guitar. Hamilton used his six-(6) piece band, which includes two horns, guitar, bass and drummer. At the release of his first CD in '94 critics called Hamilton a guitar whiz, phenom and prodigy. He has proven them right, performing steadily in the Gulf Coast area, building a loyal fan base of all ages.

Great music! Voice is amazing with some soul. Musicianship out of this world!! Seeing him live is even better!!!!!!!

Hamilton Loomis is an.......2004-06-27

artist that isn't quite there. Having listened to both of his CD's I've found 2 or 3 good songs on each one. The rest tends to be a little formulaic and uninteresting. While the bands he employs are tight, the material often consists of time worn riffs and trite lyrics.
This would probably be a good live act in a small venue, but for repeated listening...........it leaves me a little cold.

PUT ON YOUR DANCING SHOES!!.......2002-10-12

Put on your dancing shoes! This is a fantastic CD with lots of energy. We were lucky enough to have Hamilton perform at our wedding reception. Everyone danced, young and old alike. He was a hit, just as this CD. Buy it now! You will not be disappointed.

all fired up about hamilton.......2002-08-17

hamilton loomis' all fired up is the best blues/jazz album I've heard in a long time. Hamilton surprised my wife and I in the spring of 01' when he and his band stopped in our little bar in fort smith ,Ar. We were having an open mike night and they stopped in and ripped out 3 songs from this c.d. and blew everyone away. He left us a copy of the cd and I have been singing his praises ever since. There's not one song on the cd i skip past. If you're a fan of the blues and contemporary jazz,blues you will love this cd

great talent.......2002-03-01

My favorite cut is "Roll Over". He has a great sound and a genious of a ceative mind.

Fired Up N' Hard Pressed To Get Funkier!.......2005-03-03

This album is strangely devided into two halfs-the 'freak party' side (aimed at disco lovers I guess) and a 'foot stompin' side for funk fans.There is one little problem here though:almost the entire album is FUNKY BEYOND ALL BELIEF!!!"I'm Fired Up","Boogie Freak" and "Get Out On The Floor" are highly rhythmic grooves filled with clapping percussion and wild bass/guitar interaction that couldn't have LESS to do with disco or anything like it!Of course by time we get to the foot stompin' stuff we've been treated to a warm cover of the classic love song "At Last".Then back to the show with two double funky WHAMMY's with seven plus minutes of "I Like Girls" with it's lightly JB-ish rhythm and the manic "Snake"-the whole shabang ends off with the surprisingly high quality ballad "Can't See You".So what would I say if one wanted me to make a judgement call on this album?Well I would say this:over the past two years I have just gotton into Fatback they have recorded some true funk and soul classics and never seem to have made a bad album but some of the albums I do have by them have a small ammount of filler,almost always in the form of a ballad or a slow jam.On 'Fired Up 'N Kickin'' there isn't any and for any longtime Fatback fans out there this will remind you why you liked the band so much in the first place.If you've never had any Fatback in your funk,soul or R&B collection and want a full lengh CD then this is the first one I'd recommend!There are others for sure such as the wondefully grooving 'Tasty Jam' from '81 and the primal 'People Music' from '73 or even 1983's electrofest of 'Is This The Future?' but this particular album has that unique quality of thourough consistancy that some of their other albums lack.

Product Description

Designed with the busy schedules of teachers in mind, this powerful spoken word CD is 28 minutes of straight-forward, life changing affirmations over beautifully uplifting music. How do you use the CD? It should be listened to every workday, as part of a routine, most likely while the listener does other things. It can be used as you get dressed, as you drive to work, or listened to in your classroom before students arrive. It does not take away time from your day, but enrich the time you would normally spend on other things. I (Carrie A. Chapman) am still a classroom teacher and am enjoying my work more every day thanks to the creation of this CD. I hope you will find it equally inspirational for yourself, or the lucky individual for whom you are purchasing it.

Interesting and Effective.......2005-08-12

I first heard about this product on a teacher chatboard. While I was initially skeptical, but I listened to the audio samples and decided to give it a try. I teach at a year round school, and even with track breaks, need inspiration to get through the summer months. I have had it for a few months and really feel a difference in my outlook throughout the day. One funny (but good) thing: there is an affirmation about staying organized, and it must have gone straight to my subconscious because my typically messy desk and work spaces have become much cleaner! I am so thankful and suprised for this added benefit!

Positively Refreshing!.......2005-01-28

I think this CD is a great idea! I am a parent who has noticed several teachers looking drained and overworked. I bought this CD to give to the teachers of my children. I feel better sending my children to school knowing they are being taught by teachers who are positive and refreshed. This CD isn't just a gift for the teacher, but a gift for the whole class!

This is a great Cd to listen to on the way to work. It is relaxing and sets up such a positive start to the busy day. I am not a teacher but it empowers me to get on with what I love to do and gives meaning to feeling positive about life. I am giving this Cd to teachers that I work with in hopes that they will remain happy and feel good about what they do when there is so much stress in their day. Thank you Miss Chapman!

An Inspiration to all!.......2005-01-27

What an inspiring idea! This is great CD for everyone , not just for teachers. The thoughts portrayed on the CD are uplifting, energizing, and yes are definately Fired up! As a teacher myself, it reminds me of why I do what I am doing! We all need a wake up call at some point, and this will do the trick! The music adds a wonderful, soothing touch!

Out of this WORLD!! Not just for Teachers.......2005-01-26

What a wonderful idea this was! Not only teachers can use this. We all, who work in the public in some sort, need these affirmations daily. What an excellent way to begin your day, get yourself ready for all that is ahead. I can't wait to see what Miss Chapman does next, INCREDIBLE. I plan to give this as a gift to ALL my teacher and would be teacher friends.

Customer Reviews:

Jayney.......2006-08-11

I just wanted to put in a good word for both the song "Jayney," and Dan Seals the artist. I first heard the song "Jayney" in the Pacific Northwest in the middle 90's, and met the artist who wrote it. What a terrific "unknown" song, and so typically Dan Seals. Seals low key style belies his talent. Almost anyone into music who gives him or herself the opportunity to listen to his work will take to it quickly. "My Old Yellow Car," "Three Time Loser," "Everything That Glitters"..The list goes on and on: they're wonderful songs.

Love Thing for West Coast Swing.......2005-09-25

The cut called "Love Thing" is a Texas swing blues romp. Really great West Coast Swing dance song with a dance groove and a few breaks.
