Client Reviews

Got this CD given that I wanted the 'James Brown is Dead' cut on CD, and you can't find L.A Style's CD new anymore. (although highly suggested) What I got was a pretty excellent comp of highly danceable tunes from the early to mid 90's. This is not cutting edge stuff, but it IS stuff you still hear, and which will definitely sound familiar and get you moving.
'Rhythm is a Dancer' is probably the most widely heard track on the CD, followed by 'James Brown Is Dead' which is a classic. Some of the others are a lot more obscure even though, and I suspect Arista began grasping for straws to fill the entire CD up.
Recommended if you want just 1 CD of dance music that you can pop in the player when you need to have some high power. If you have a heartbeat, this is fairly significantly guaranteed to get you out of your chair.

Classic album with some tracks that nonetheless seriously move the feet or inspire the soul. Yet, other tracks do not stand the test of time. If you do not recall SNAP, you will soon after listening to track 1: "rhythm is a dancer". Superb, as is track five, "the power" also by SNAP.
If you want alot more SNAP obtain the two-disc European compilation "power of snap" rather than the usa single disc. Track 3 is the former large hit "what is like" by Haddaway and is usually pleasant but no longer spectacular. Track 7 "jump" by Movement nevertheless is really good. Track 8 is "james brown is dead" by L.A. Style and I think it is fading with age but that is my opinion. Track 9 is a reside version of "3 a.m. eternal" by The KLF and it still grooves excellento. Track 11 is "spiritual high" by Moodswings and it is nevertheless excellent. I am substantially less enthusiastic about the tracks by Annie Lennox, Soul Process, TLC,and Dr Alban.
This is a actual bargain priced at $.01 - $.50 plus shipping, especially if you don't personal the good tracks. Otherwise just get the SNAP two-disc compilation and Moodswings Psychedelicatessen and you will have all you require to stay in the groove.
