A Review:

These mixes still move the feet and shake the booty. A few are less than great but overall most still get into the groove. My only criticism is that most of these tracks are in the 3:00 - 4:00 minute range and too short for real dancing. However, Johnny Budz is a real mixer not some poseur so the tracks really segue rather than lame fade-outs and fade-ups. And, for the low price this album offered, it is a real bargain. If you recognize any of the tunes, then there will be a few that amuse. I am not going to review each track because they are all dance club versions and either you like or want such. Otherwise, just move on.

However, if you need some recommendations or a few tunes for your girlfriend to shake her booty then you will enjoy Here Comes the Rain Again, This Love Never Dies, and Moogue's interpretation of David Bowie's China Girl is awesome with the bass pumped. I wish this album had an extended dance club version because at 3:01 it is just beginning to rock. Hey Johnny, give us the real dance club gooves not the radio versions.

If you like 80s dance music or want a good album for a party, I promise you will play some of these tracks many times.
