Reviews:
Yes good Ultra has put out cool record for years. It is sometimes hard to talk about them. Being a big fan of Electro, this one stands out of the pack for me. Sure you have some great bands like Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Ladytron, Goldfrapp, and Moby. But you also have some new acts like Shiny Toy Guns and Daisy Daisy. You also have some of the best remixers like DFA and Tommie Sunshine. Of course Mylo and Jacques Lu Cont is on here as well. This is a jamming party mix. It's two CDs and is full of surprises.
electro lovers! This set of cd's is AWESOME. I've been looking for a while for a cd that makes me incredibly happy, like this one. You can't deny how good the beats twist around on this set. Every song is a new adventure. This holds fresssh beats, and if you pass up this one, your making a mistake. You wont find a better set with HOT electro songs like this baby. New Series,More Awesome music I am glad that this series has been launched and am looking forward for number 2. The First disc I Think is a much better energy pumping experience love it. Disc 2 Is interesting and i have to say that this is the best for me Ultra has done in a very long time. thanks ultra, but not thanks. ultra recordings in their infinite power and 'wisdom' realized that the 'electronica' umbrella is broken and in total disrepair, and is now bending 'electro' to fit the bill, and why not, it's easier to spell and pronounce.
mind you, it's hard to resist the power and influence and of course money that a label like ultra can offer an artist, and that's probably why this compilation even exists, but david waxman will probably live to regret being involved with such a horrible misrepresentation of 'electro' -- a timeless phenomenon, ethos, musical composition philosophy, and far more artistic genre to those who bother to find true examples of it... this. is not amongst those examples. Niiiice This is the playlist to a club I'd love to go to! Most club music is stale and predictable, but if half these songs got spun, that crowd would be moving!
I picked this shiny green gem up on a whim, having really enjoyed Ultra's past compilations (except Ultra Dance 7, that was crap!). I gave it a listen and was HIGHLY impressed with the first disc. From song to song I found myself grooving along. The only song that let me down was Ladytron's "Sugar", but I'm so glad to see Ladytron on a mainstream dance comp! David Waxman did a very good job with this comp. Some of the highlights of this disc include:
Royksopp - What Else Is There? (Trentemoller Remix)
This is an AMAZING remix! It totally maintains the energy and mystery of the original while definitely jammin the speakers! I would love to dance to this, in particular!
Tiefschwarz feat. Matty Safer - Warning Siren (Buick Project Remix)
While I'm not much of a fan of the original, this mix does great things for the song. It brings out the nice parts of Matty Safer's voice, while providing some much-needed beatage. Impressive!
Moby - Dream About Me (Sebastian Ingrosso Remix)
Sebastian Ingrosso is the electro remix king! Check out some of his other work, like on The Modern's "Industry". He cranks out a hot beat for Moby's song, the only issue being the fact that this sounds more like a dub than a remix.
Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko (Tommie Sunshine's Brooklyn Fire Retouch)
Tommie Sunshine is a name to watch, mark my words! His work with Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance" is enviable stuff. He was also a member of Thee Glitz, a collection of collaborators for Felix Da Housecat's "Kittenz And Thee Glitz" album. His work here, on Shiny Toy Guns' "Le Disko" is awe-inspiring. The song was amazing to begin with, and Tommie took everything that was good about it and made it better. Will we be complaining? I think not.
Disc 2 is the underground side of electro, featuring many artists you may not have heard of. I found Daisy Daisy's "Michelle Plays Ping Pong" to be a highly enjoyable song. I found that "Sugar" fit really well into the overall feel of Disc 2 as well. I've never been a fan of "Rocker", so it didn't matter *who* mixed it, I skipped it nonetheless. I love "Your Body", and was highly pleased with a mix I haven't heard as of yet.
Like I said, this is the perfect playlist for a club I've never been to, but would LOVE to. Don't hold out on this compilation, even if you dislike Ultra on a whole. This is highly appealing music! |
