Elucid's "Mamma Mia" is not an ABBA cover. Elissa's "We Are Together" is a latin-flavored euro-pop gem that really hits its stride during the chorus, which will stay embedded in your cerebral cortex for quite awhile. "Say Goodbye" by La Cream on Dr. (Till I Come)" by ATF is next, but this cover is nowhere as good as the innovative trance original. Wildside's "Take A Chance" is a darker-edged song from the S.A.I.F.A.M.
But don't let that tarnish your opinion.this is one of the best and ONLY euro compilations out there. Next, "Don't Make Me Live Without You"by Kikka is from the S.A.I.F.A.M. But, eventually, the chorus will work its way into your mind. "Get Get Down" by Paul Johnson is a bass-laden house tune that is surprisingly catchy. Shawn Desman's "I Don't Wanna Lose You" is an acquired taste.sort of euro-pop house. It is a passable eurogressive tune with weak vocals.
This CD has so many great tracks on it I don't know where to start, so we'll start at the beginning. The vocals aren't that bad either. Naya is a hidden gem on here. This is yet more good italo-euro. "Hide & Seek" by Spunky is similar to "Stay" in many respects, but has more of a pop feel to it, and the lead singer actually sounds a bit like Donna Summer. bunch, and is sprinkled liberally with progressive synthesizers. feat. "Stay", Sash.'s megahit, is next up here with it's booming bass and LaTrec's wrenching vocal performance.
camp, with thundering italo-euro bass and great kickdrum work. track appears with Bandido's "For Sale". But I must admit I find myself getting into the groove of this one. "Celebrate", by D.J. "Celebrate" by 2 A.M.
Alban's Dr. "Turn It Up & Down" is a mainly instrumental euro track by Cappella in the usual Cappella vein. "Heaven Is Here" by 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor is an excellent euro-trance tune, with soaring vocals by Des'Ray. "This Is My Life" by Sarina Paris is eurodance track with tons of energy, though the vocals could use a little work. "Take My Love" by KromOzone Project starts off with arena-filling synth chords and then becomes a eurohouse stomper. BoBo, is not nearly as good as some of BoBo's earlier work, like "Freedom", but is a passible eurotrance song. The compilation ends on a sour note with The Underground Warriors' mediocre cover of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", originally from Eiffel 65. Another S.A.I.F.A.M.
A cover of "9 P.M. "You Know I Love You" by Shine leans more to the mainstream euro sound, and creates a catchy groove in the process. Great, pounding euro by an artist I've never heard of. Records is a great eurogressive song with the amazing vocal talents of Tess. Both "Next To Me" by Impulse and "Space Invaders" from Hit'N'Hide are great examples of bubblegum pop, or Danish TurboPop. Pick it up NOW for CLUB NRG.
I personally wasn't expecting much from this CD, expecially since the series just died after the second compilation, But i was impressed. The tunes were upbeat, and it was hard to put it down after listening through it. If you enjoy dance music, you should consider this CD, the first few tracks more then make up for the dismal remakes of "mambo #5" and "blue"
