Deepest Blue "Late September" Album Review
Sounds like nothing special & weak versions of other bands
I first heard of Deepest Blue from the 'Deepest Blue' John Hopkins Mix on the Ministry of Sounds Chillout Sessions 2004 CD. I really love this version of the song & this made me want to track down the bands other works, this CD.
Well, I know the track I love & still strongly recommend is a remix. That remix's are always different from the bands original version of the song but I was really amazed just how different it was. I expected something more in lines the the other Ministry of Sounds CD's I have.
What I got was a weak, cross between erasure & Savage Garden! That was a shock, there are good songs on the album but nothing as strong as either band unfortunately.
Also the remix CD has not go the 'Deepest Blue' John Hopkins Mix on it either. The remix CD is nothing & is nothing special in anyway.
All in all, very disappointed in the CD's but still recommend tracking down Chillout Sessions 2004 & sticking with the John Hopkins Mix on that album.

2 Black "Waves of Luv" Album Review
More Bang For The Buck
This single was recently a big hit overseas and it's easy to see why - it's positively infectious - four mixes in all and a nice funky video to boot. I don't normally buy singles but I couldn't find this one on a comp so I sprung for it. I was pleasantly surprised to find some very generous mixes and a real nice video- Definitely worth buying

Armand Van Helden "Hear My Name" Album Review
2 Stars...One for each good track on here
It stinks that I have to give this such a low rating, but the remixes on this single suffer from a serious lack of likeability...the radio edit and the original mix are the only two tracks on here worth owning. I was not impressed by the slow moving near lifeless Sergio Santiago mix, nor the trying-to-hard to make nothing happen tracks from Solid Groove...so long as you are just buying this for the originals, you won't be disappointed...They are great! However, if you are looking for some good remixes of this track...keep on looking because they aren't on this one.

Moonlight vs Azoto "San Salvador" Album Review
No moonlight necessary!
With an unyielding beat that not only provides a solid blueprint to the infectious and lovely melody, but also offers an unrejectable invitation to just get lost in the dance, "San Salvador" stands the test of time and is arguably the best single by italo-dance-pop group Azoto.
The trouble with this release is that Moonlight does not take the song or itself seriously. What's the point of "remixing" a song where there isn't much remixing but silly turntable-playing? For starters, Moonlight should take a look at and listen to Yaz' 2003 "Situation/Don't Go" single. Then maybe this valuable lesson in revisiting a classic will inspire it to do better in future attempts at remixing or having a mano-a-mano with other artists and/or their songs. DJs, the remixers themselves, are professionals who never compromise neither the quality of the song nor their artistry at their remixing it. There's even now a Grammy category that not only recognizes but also honors their work.
The fact that this classic is available on CD is worth giving it a five-star rating. Skip the Moonlight Vs. Azoto mixes. The instrumental version
would have been great as the B-side just like in the original 12" release back in 1980. Will "Soft Emotion" finally become available on CD? Let's hope for a better treatment of Azoto's music next time around.
