Editorial Reviews: Radio One jock and general dance music guru Dave Pearce is renowned for spinning only the finest in uplifting, euphoric dance anthems (as witnessed on his weekly Dance Anthems show), so it's only right really that he should be chosen to mix one of BMG's Euphoria compilations. For this double CD album, Pearce offers us some of the definitive trance and hard house tunes from the end of 2000, as well as some of the lesser known but still "'aving it" tracks. Among the more obvious selections are Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400", Darude's "Feel the Beat", Sasha and Emerson's "Scorchio", Sonique's "It Feels So Good", Fatboy Slim's "Bird Of Prey" and Storm's "Time To Burn". Nestled in amongst these monster club hits though are a multitude of lesser known but still rocking gems such as Black Spider's "Save Your Life", Phatt 8's "And Da Drum Machine", Vernon's Wonderland's "Vernon's Wonderland" and Xstasia's "Sweetness". An accomplished and essential selection of the some of 2000's best clubbing moments. --Paul Sullivan
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Top Dave kills it Comment: What a cool collection into uplighting trance tunes like its feels so good,rise,home,silence and many more.Also some mad cool tunes like phatt bass,devil its amazing. Customer Rating: Summary: Short but oh-so-Sweet Comment: Another truely great Euphoria CD, Dave Pearce has chosen some truely Euphoric tracks, from some bangin hard house choonage to some great chilled and Trancy numbers there is not a single dud track in this compilation. My only complaint is a certain DJ, namely Mr. Dave Pearce. OK so he isn't the best DJ in the world, that I can forgive, sure some of the tracks are poorly mixed, and all of them very quickly mixed, but that is just Dave Pearce for u. My major complaint for this CD is the amount of play time each track gets. It is almost like Mr. Pearce has tried to fit a 2 hour set onto each of the 80 minute CDs. I think in anyones mind 19 tracks is excessive to say the least, some of the best tracks on the CD, most notably element4's big brother theme and Phatt B's and da drum machine, both of which least hardly 2 minutes before Mr. Pearce decides to drop the next choon in, in some cases, especially DJ Tiesto's remix of Delirum's Silence our good DJ friend Mr. Pearce nearly misses the breakdown before dropping in the next track. This is this CDs major flaw, great tracks, but there's not enough time to listen to them before the next one starts. Customer Rating: Summary: Euphoric Comment: This like many other of the euphoria albums is an absolute stormer, with tracks from the warp brothers, sister bliss and delerium plus some unknown tracks like lightforce-join me and floyd-come to gether. I feel that a few of the tracks should have lasted longer even if a few tracks were taken off. The smooth and seemless mixes were kept throughout and at one point on cd1 the change from lightforce to warrior was about a minute long. Customer Rating: Summary: Good songs, shame about the mixing Comment: Usually when you buy a Euphoria CD, you know exactly what you're going to get, a collection of excellent tunage mixed by one of the world leaders in their personal field. Why Telstar decided to let DAVE PEARCE mix this CD I've no idea. The songs are pretty much what you'd expect, standout tracks being the excellent Warrior, Scorchio, and the chilled Bird of Prey by the Fatboy, but the mixing definitely leaves something to be desired. A great CD when taken on its own, but a sad dissapointment when you consider some of the other compilations in the series. Customer Rating: Summary: Top compilation as always.. but :) Comment: I think I reviewed this when it first came out, and thought it required a bit of a follow-up. Still 5 stars because it's such a superb track line-up, but what went wrong with some of the mixing? Not particularly bad, just unadventurous, and occasionally a tiny bit 'dodgy'. Some of the cuts on E3 really made that compilation for me, and E1 and E2 go without saying as ambitious, but flawless.. Anyway, top tunes, and isn't that what DJing's about anyway? Nice one Dave ;) More Reviews
