Castles In The Sky

| Review: | 
If you like ABSOLOM
you should become also fond of new CHRISTOPHE's CHANTIZ project:
IAN VAN DAHL. Their first single "Castles
In The Sky" already became a club hit and is present in many
DANCE charts all over the world. This title
is recorded in big room TRANCE style. You
will find 7 sparkling versions to choose from. Single begins with Peter
Luts Radio Edit. The strings ala ABSOLOM give it a gloriously dramatic
flavor while the melody takes flight on the wings of some glorious synthesizers
that are graceful. MARSHA's voice brings additional force to the
track making it a truly sublime dancefloor experience. De Donatis Radio
and Remix follow into more AMBIENT TRANCE
at least at the beginning but late unfold to fully TRANCE
toluscious swirling circuit. Wippenberg remix done dy Olaf Dieckmann provides
high tempo fare with dark undertones, majestic synthesizers and full orchestration
and female vocal floating overhead. Beatiful one! The last version is an
ABSOLOM remix. While this mix is outstanding as well, it does not
really remind me ABSOLOM style. Recorded in TECHNO-HOUSE
style is has also TRANCE strings but not
as dramatic as you could expect from the mix labeled as ABSOLOM remix.
Taken together a must single to have by all TRANCE fans! In sound sampler
I featured: Peter Luts Remix, De Donatis Remix, Wippenberg Remix and Absolom
Remix. Enjoy! |

| Review: | 
This English project originally
established back in 1997 was rather quiet for a relatively long time.
You might remember their smash hits like: "Carnaval
De Paris" or "Chyme"
(that one hit Number One In Billboard Chart). Well... they are back and
they are back in BIG TIME! Currently DARIO G consists of PAUL
SPENCER (the original member from 1997) and Norvegian born INGFRID
STRAUMSTOYL. Here is their newest single that will appear on project's
forthcoming eclectic album "In Full Colour"
to be released in April. Single features three versions (trust me there
is room for many more) and as bonus, VIDEO from this single. The music
is beatiful. It is a combination of TRANCE
and OPERA TRANCE. I was always fan of this
style. I think putting OPERA sound with TRANCE
gives this latter one even more meaning. This style is probably most pronunced
in Radio Edit. When you turn to Airscape Remix you will be entering the
mysterious world of TRANCE. Presented strings
are just incredibly done and melodic line is deeply embedded into DREAM-like
force. The last featured is Warrior Mix. This is dazzling combination
of IBIZA type TECHNO-HOUSE with cutting edge TRANCE. Delicious! In sound
sampler I featured: Airscape Remix and Warrior Mix. Enjoy! For more information about DARIO G. please visit their Official website at www.dariog.co.uk |

|
| Review: | 
Now let's turn more into
NRG oriented tunes. RED RACING is an Italian project following
in style an example of EIFFEL 65 (at least in part). Presented
tune is actually happy POP influenced by
speedy and energetic HI-NRG style. CD features
five mixes and all of them are actually quite close. It starts with Original
Edit. This one retaining all the attributes of classic DANCE
tune. Good rhythm, beat and speed. Lyrics are simple but sung well. Good
version. The second is an Original Extended Mix. No surprise in here either.
The intro is extended and main line has more synth strings. Nice throwback
to the true DANCE era. Next come Club Extended
Mix. This one has more club feel into it. The male vocal that has been
"computerized" a bit adds to more TECHNO feeling this tune has.
Yet again track retains fully dancable flavor. Two remianing versions:
Club People Mix and Club Edit fall into the same category. In sound sampler
I featured: Original Extended Mix, Club Extended Mix and Club People Mix.

|
| Review: | 
Let me start this batch of
reviews from EURODANCE releases. The first
one is Spanish release by NATASCHA HAGEN called "Sweet
La La Love". Track was written by Galera, Herrera and NATASCHA
HAGEN herself. Probably the easiest way to describe the tune as ATC
meets EIFFEL 65 and GALA. Both original Radio Edit and Original
Extended mixes brings ATC feeling. Happy tune I might say. Europop
Radio Edit and Europop Remix is more into EIFFEL 65. All four versions
featured in this single are wicked with sexy vocals delivered by NATASCHA.
I personally like very much Europop mixes. They have exquisite synth-driven
melody that takes over. Phat bottom, kicking beats and rhythmic tunes,
all in one set. In sound sampler I featured Original Extended and Europop
mix. Enjoy! |

| Review: | 
Another Spanish release also
written by Galera, Herrera and Hagen as the track reviewed above. Tune
is sung by unknown to me CASSANDRA. Another powerful EURODANCE/POP
offering. It is easy going and pleasurable track to dance. Single features
five mixes that are actually not that distant from each other. Rouge Cut
offers more POP sound and is synth-driven. CASSANDRA's voice is
perfect for the sound. I am not sure if it is an accident but as you see
she looks oriental and some hooks are oriental as well. Kinda cool. Noir
Cut has more pronounced synth-bottom with catchy, ear-grabbing rhythm
highlighted by a great feamle vocals. In sound sampler I am featuring
Rouge Cut Mix and Noir Mix. |

Everytime You Need Me
reviewed on 02/19/01 Artist: FRAGMA feat. MARIA RUBIA Label: 2001 Edel / Orbit Records (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 0122795ERE |
|
| Review: | 
Newest single from this
highly acclaimed dance project. "Everytime
You Need Me" appeared also on group's debut album "Toca".
If you think you know the track, wait until you will hear the mixes featured
on this single. While Radio Edit and Extended Version are closest to what
you can hear on album, remaining two are not. The single features four
versions. Two forementioned as well as one done by PULSEDRIVER
and another one by JAM X & DE LEON DUMONDE and you cannot afford
to miss them. PULSEDRIVER delivers powerful, overcharged, mind-blowing
TRANCE fare to die for. This is instrumental
track that would do great in any club. With lots of bright, sunny synthesizers
and galloping bottomline this version is a stunner. One will appreciate
it's climatic up's and downs like swiming in the boat in fast changing
weather. JAM X & DE LEON's DUMONDE remix is actually more TECHNO
and PROGRESSIVE oriented at least at it's
"first" part to become later a TRANCE
monster to be knocked out by! It also should have those hot dance floors
exploding instantly. After all such exquisitely lush and dreamy, with
floating instrumantation and gorgeous production cannot go unnoticed!
Truly a club version to die for. If you like FRAGMA don't short
yourself on the album only, this single will make the adventure with FRAGMA
even more fulfilling. In sound sampler I featured Extended Version, Pulsedriver
Remix and Jam X & De Leon's Dumonde Remix. Enjoy! |

| Review: | 
Dos Or Die is licensing
many of TRANCE Belgian releases making them
even more accessible. This time is FIOCCO with "The
Music". I probably do not need to introduce this group that
has lead the quality TRANCE sound for a quite
a long time. This offering contains 6 tunes. It starts with New Oblique
Radio Mix with polished TRANCE bottom that
dynamically and equally spreading throughout the tune. Synth work is infectious
and mind blowing. Exactly what you should expect from masters. Vocal Radio
Edit is house pecker as well. Again, TRANCEY
synth lines rise and fall in melodic intensity as each epic break approaches
and the compelling, swirling rhythms surge forward. New Oblique Mix and
Extended Vocal Mix counterpart their Radio Versions. Both are rich and
lenghty giving enough room for DJs to play with. Fumarola Remix and Razzle
Dazzle Remix are oriented into more UNDERGROUND
clientele if you will. Both pack an incredible rhythmic punch with bassline
that's stronger than Arnold. Be preapred for some hard kicking action
here. In sound sampler I featured New Oblique Mix, Fumarola Remix and
Razzle Dazzle Remix. Enjoy! |

| Review: | 
Let me start this batch of
reviews from Italian releases. While Germany and Scandinavian countries
seem to keep bringing great DANCE music to the market, Italy is not behind
and do release also great dance music. L@RA is unknown to me project,
but her single Baylì Baylà
is definately worth to mention. Single features five mixes. Two first
represents IN DREAMS theme in Radio Cut and Extended remixes. Both are
slamming EURO-TRANCE versions. At high BPM
and energetic melody line will drive you nuts. BREAKIN'UP Extended Mix
is more into TECHNO/TRANCE with distinctive
BREAKBEAT action with naïve yet brilliant bits of female vocals.
NOISE GENERATION Extended Mix done in raving TECHNO-HOUSE
is mostly instrumental Club-oriented tune with hypnotic TRANCE
buttom here and there. The last featured INTERNAL DANCE Extended Mix is
starting as ELECTRONIC DISCO. Happy tune.
In sound sampler I featured three versions from this single. |

This Italian project featured
Polish-born MARTA SIMLAT historically brought several hits. Now
it is back with the new one "You Got Me Dancing"
done in pounding EURODANCE enhanced with
dramatic synth work to have sound updated to a new millenium. Single features
five mixes. Original Radio Edit and Extended are as pure EURODANCE
as it can be in 2000/2001. Both Phase-D Radio Edit and Mix have more sophisticated
synth bottom work and more POP style if you
will. Mix version is though highlighted by more TRANCE
oriented dazzling synth line and floating female vocals bits are again
dominating the track. Last version featured is Original Extended Inmstrumental
with nice piano section. Another happy tune. Taken together nice release
from J.K. Not the best one though but definately worth to be checked
out. In sound sampler I featured two versions from this single: Original
Extended Mix and Phase-D Mix For more information about J.K. please visit her fan-home page at www.jksupersite.8k.com |

reviewed on 01/21/01 Artist: GIGI D'AGOSTINO & ALBERTINO Label: 2000 Media Records (Italy) Style: Techno Index #: NM 020/CD |
|
| Review: | 
This offering came from
GIGI D'AGOSTINO that paired up with another famous Italian DJ -
ALBERTINO. This is very special CD. While the music featured could
be classified as TECHNO, it is not that simple.
The CD includes four versions of the title track with variety moods presented.
Rassodante - first version on this CD offers you exciting TECHNO
travel with some HINDU and TRIBAL
elements. Sang partially in English and French, lyrics are not really
that important. The music though is kind of "weird". Combining TECHNO
and BEAT with DRUM'N'BASS.
It's actually very catch and original. Idrante version starts with dark,
mysterious introduction. soon morphing into full blown TECHNO
tune. The melodic line in this version is quite similar to a previous
one, but it has some different hooks and whistles the other doesn’t. The
third version Rilassante (the longest one, lasting more than 10 minutes)
again starts with folk-oriental music to transform into TECHNO/TRANCE
track. Actually, to really understand what this title is all about you
gotta listen to sound sampler. The one thing is for sure. This tune will
intrigue you. Sound sampler features 3 versions of this track. |

| Review: | 
Now lets move to German
Scene. When I first heard the original “Shining”
by GREEN COURT feat. DE/VISION I got really into it. With beautiful
melodic line going up and down, transferring you into majestic sound experience,
I wanted more. So here it is. Remixed single with 5 different versions
done by leading DJs. The first mix is done by MARC DAWN from GREEN
COURT. Marc remained faithful to the TRANCE
style. The version is however enriched compared with the original. Haunting
female vocals merges with angelic synths, giving an unforgettable listening
pleasure. Second remix is done by DJ TIESTO. You can imagine what
he did to this track. He also went into TRANCE
formula but with more laidback feel. Almost CHILL-OUT
I would say. Nicely incorporated piano section into synth hooks gave it
even more interesting sound. Another stunning mix was also delivered by
PULSEDRIVER. It is yet another TRANCE version but with overbuilt
transcendental feel rising to a higher dimension. What Slobodan Petrovic
did here is exactly what I love in TRANCE.
He combined synths works in a big room monster with orchestration that
fills you entirely. Very "hooky" version I might say. A wonderful job
and standing-out mix. WORLD CLIQUE remix is a HARD
TECHNO HOUSE experience and last featured mix was done by STEFFEN
KETH (De/Vision). Taken together very nicely done TRANCE
single with many versions and moods to choose from. Sound sampler features
three versions.For more information about GREEN COURT please visit their page at www.greencourt.de |

|
| Review: | 
I am late with the review
of this single, but simply this CD is too good to be missed. Not only
because BLANK & JONES usually deliver cutting-edge TRANCE
sound but also because of the remixes appearing here done by top-notch
DJs. First two mixes :Short and Club Mix are quite similar in style. It
takes longer time to unfold the drama in Club Mix but that's what makes
it perfect for the dance floor. BLANK & JONES delivers an incredibly
potent big room TRANCER that biulds and builds
with a solid rhythm track, epic breaks and majestic synth lines that soar
skyward buoyed by riveting bits of female vocals. JAM & SPOON
remix is quite different from what BLANK & JONES did and JAM
& SPOON themselves in the past. It's more like afterhour IBIZA-style
TECHNO-HOUSE. It's the longest version featured,
almost 10 minutes. Regardless this mix pose as a good club offering with
a myriad of moods and electronic instruments used. My personal favorite
is The Thrillseekers Remix. Steve Helstrip endowed his mix
with big room synth adventure, wide opened into 6th dimension. Clever
hybrid combines elements of DREAM TRANCE
(beatiful strings & keyboards). DARUDE vs. JS16 Remix is what
you could expect from DARUDE and JS16 style combines. Triumphatic TRANCE
with majestic synth lines. Truly an oustanding pumped up mix. Actually
this particular mix is now being featured in many compilations. The last
mix presented in this release is BLANK & JONES own Laidback
Mix. Different than Short and Club Mix, because they went into more AIRWAVE
style bringing incredibly excititing, synth-driven marvel. Sound sampler
features four versions taken from this CD.For more information about BLANK & JONES please visit their page at www.blankandjones.de |

|
| Review: | 
BROOKLYN BOUNCE has
been pioneering PROGRESSIVE TECHNO sound
few years back and were silent for relatively longer period of time. Recently
the group released an album "The Progressive
Years" with their top tunes we remember them from, however
the presented tune here was not included. So basically it is a new material
from team of Dennis Bohn and Matthias (Double M) Menck. When I first heard
the tune couple of months ago and saw the video (check it out in our VIDEO
Section) I was really impressed. I really liked the aggressive tone of
the tune and dramatic bottom. It was way cool, so I really wanted to hear
the single to check other remixes. Here it is. I have to admit, I was
not really impressed though. Granted both Video Edit and Extended Remix
met my expectations, since I heard these version before. There are three
other mixes on this single. One of them is Pulsedriver Remix. This
one is actually good too. It still retain PROGRESSIVE
main melodic line but introduces some DRUM'N'BASS
climate. Good for clubs. What I found distracting were THE UNDERDOG
remixes. Their remixes are done in BEATBREAK
climate and I am not particularly into this style. Some of you though
might like it, if you are into what MUSIC INSTRUCTOR does these
days. I hoped for more remixes to fill my expectations. Well... My wish
was not granted, but maybe there is "the remixed" edition in
works. Sound sampler features two versions taken from this CD. Extended
Remix and Pulsedriver Remix. Enjoy! |

|
| Review: | 
Last in this batch is new
single from ALICE DEEJAY "Celebrate
Our Love". This single is quite different from what we used
to have by ALICE DJ. No more happy EURO-TRANCE
but rather CHILL-OUT mood with element of
INDUSTRIAL sound. Six mixes to choose from.
Hit Radio Mix and XXL were done by DANSKI & DJ DELMUNDO of
VENGABOYS. Well... nothing to do with VENGABOYS style either.
Hit Radio is more POP track but with some
synth strings here and there. XXL version has HOUSE/NRG
feeling and is doing good in club floors. Remaining three versions were
written and produced by PRONTI & KALMARI. The first is Original
Album Version. Nice track to listen to but lacks the power of project's
previous songs. Regardless, track itself is climbing into CHARTS all over
the world. I am not really surprised since the music is getting close
to TOP-40 style. Anyway, another mix called Solid Sessions Remix is typical
IBIZA late hour TECHNO/HOUSE
track on the sunrise side. Taken together I am struggling with rating
of this CD. In any case, you should check it out by yourself. After all
ALICE DJ female vocal is still great and music is still considered
DANCE. Sound sampler features three versions
taken from this CD. Enjoy!For more information about ALICE DEEJAY please visit project's page at www.alicedeejay.com |

|
| Review: | 
First SINGLES review
let me start with Danish project ME & MY. Two sweet girls (Pernille
& Susanne Georgie) that started their career with hit "Dub
I Dub". Today let me present you with thier newest single
"Fly High" from their incoming
in February already third album under the same title. Single released
back in December immediately climbed on the top of Danish DANCE CHARTS.
No wonder, it is nicely done and top-notch release especially if you have
single not just Radio Version that is airplayed. As a matter of fact you
have 6 of them featured in here. Starting with rather short Radio Mix
you are getting an idea what this track is all about. Recorded in EURODANCE/TRANCE
formula it delivers catchy rhythm with powerful synth bottom taking over.
This is definately a tune that will make fans of both styles shake the
hands. More TECHNO/HOUSE oriented is Club
Mix and should do great in club floor. Same goes to DJ Aligator Clubmix
release I am late with singles reviews so please be patient. This version
has PROGRESSIVE/HOUSE touch. Uplifting synth
lines soaring beneath bit of enchanting. In sound sampler I featured three
versions from this single. For more information about the group please visit their home page at www.meandmy.dk |

|
| Review: | 
Couple of months ago I reviewed
WHIGFIELD album III. While
album itself was quite good, I had hard time to find really catchy tune.
Well... WHIGFIELD decided to give you one indeed in this new single "Much
More" that actually appeared on the forementioned album. The
single features 7 versions !!! No
kidding! Two true EURODANCE versions (European Radio and European Full
Extended) to satisfy this genre fans (I recommend Full Extended version
that is more powerful). Another interesting versions are done by DJ
N.U.K.K. His Extended mix brings even more powerful EURODANCE
enhanced with some synth strings and of course great vocal abilities of
WHIGFIELD. Mix by GRAND LUKE is rather contemporary POP.
Oh well... The CD is closed with Extended Version recorded in NRG/HOUSE
genre. A Compelling rhythm version that is not over-powered yet should
do great on dance floor. Very rhythmic and relaxing clubbing I should
admit. In sound sampler I featured three various mixes. |

Let me move into more EUROTRANCE
sound. You probably should know this tune already by DJ PICCOLO.
Single features four versions. The 4 Jays Edit and Club Mix sporting familiar
to EIFFEL 65 sound but with much heavier use of TRANCE
bottom and heavily computerized male vocals. The track itself stands out
as spectacular club smash hit. Holiday Cut is bringing on the top more
PROGRESSIVE feeling. Very catchy rhythm and
good female not that much accented vocalise. Melody itself soars on the
strength of beatifully layered synth lines. The last on CD is Club Mix
done more in TECHNO/HOUSE. All versions are very interesting and single
itself should find place in your collection. The sound sampler contains
two versions: The 4 Jay Club Mix and Club Mix. Enjoy! |

|
| Review: | 
The last in this batch is
666 single "Dance 2 Disco"
from their recently released album "Who's
Afraid Of...?". Group has very specific, almost diabolic
style that was also dominating the recent album, however this particular
single departed from their usual style. Among five versions you can choose
something for yourself. I personally like DJ Picollo mixes. Recorded as
happy TRANCE with marked well EURODANCE
impression his mixes are truly dancable tracks. Looped hooks provide a
deliciously hypnotic bridge among these styles. Probably the closest to
usual 666 style is 666 Club Mix. Even there the infleunce of "more"
dancable group VENGABOYS is noticable. Last mix on this CD is done
by Achim Hax (DJ Pain). This is TECHNO-HOUSE
tune with some extra PROGRESSIVE kicks. Presented
sound sampler features three versions. |

When I received the promotional
package from United Music containing this single, I was stunned. The
package was big and I mean BIG. I opened it, and what I saw was the
12" PIZZA box, one you can get when you are buying pizza to go.
It had vinyl with the surface graphics of pizza. It also contained ths
CD. What an original way to promote the material. I have congratulate
Norbert and Sara for being such creative individuals. Now let's talk
about the CD. First thare is an interesting story behind the project.
Wnen Norbert Reichart (producer of DJ Visage, Rapublic, Imperio)
was visited Cagliari he spotted pizzeria "La Giuletta" where
acting pizza handsome acrobatics world champions Alessio Minucci
and Christian Surian work. He was amazed by their performance
together with two very cute girls Denise Carrara and Paola
Vescovi. Well... he couldn't resist to have them as singing act
and that how the project was born. Heavily promoted their first single
"Oh Le Le" has been introduced
in Germany and Italy and makes it ways in other country. The formula
of the song is very simple. The lyrics are simple, the music is catchy
and very well produced. Plain dance. CD features 6 versions named by
pizza's type (another way to be original naming mixes, isn't?). I like
all the mixes and while they have similar melodic line they do differ
style-wise. For EURODANCE fans Diavola
Club Remix is dream come true version. Marinara Extended Mix is also
incredibly dancable version enhanced heavily by some synth hooks here
and there. Siciliana Progressive Mix has PROGRESSIVE/TECHNO
feel. It just a feeling it still retains NRG
bassline! If you like good dance this CD is for you! In sound sampler
I featured: Diavola Club Remix, Marinara Extended Mix and Siciliana
Prigressive Mix. Enjoy! 
This batch of reviews
completes one more track from Italy performed by ALEX PARTY with
female vocals provided by Shane Campbell. I know it has been
in the market for a while, but since I just got it and represents good
EURO/POP music I decided to feature it
anyway. On the top of it the single is still available. 6 versions to
choose from. All of you who like EIFFEL 65 should listen to Ice
Pop remixes since they were done by them and have similar melodic line
and computerized bassline as regular EIFFEL 65 tracks do. For
more TECHNO-oriented freaks there is MisterRicky
Extended Mix. Mandola Mix is TRANCE-oriented
tune but still keeps melodic line. I can recommend this tune to everyone
who like DANCE music in general. Maybe a little bit old by now, but
still great for your sound collection. In sound sampler I featured:
Ice Pop Remix Radio Edit, Mistericky Extended Mix and Mandola Mix. Enjoy!
Here we are, finally with
a new single from MYTHOS 'N' COSMO. This time guys revamped clasic
"Hymn" (also re-made back in
1996 by MUSIC INSTRUCTOR). This has been achieved in 7 different
versions featured on this CD. It starts with Radio Mix with almost pure
EURO sound enriched with exciting synths
work. Additional "hall" sound effect gives you the impression
of big room adventure. Well... if you are really into good TRANCE
synth oriented tunes you should check Watergate and Airscape remixes.
Both are excellent examples of cutting edge synth work perfection. Watergate
actually did three remixes: Radio, Remix and Vocal Remix. They are of
exceptional beauty and deliver epic feel thanks to scorching synth lines
and a barreling bottom. Male vocal by DRUE WILLIAMS gives this
tune additional dimension. Airscape remix is rather fast highlighted
by extensive usage of drum's and beats, yet it delivers TRANCE
sound so characterstic for AIRSCAPE. Amazing version
with gorgeous bottom. You gotta listen to entire track to fall in love
with this powerful, sizziling interpretation. Sound sampler includes
three versions for your enjoyment!. Listen to it with the volume cranked
up to the max.
