Key to the success of this prime-time teen soap opera has been a mix of contemporary rock and pop that musically embroiders the show's increasingly complex mix of hope, fear, and youthful angst with often melodramatic flair. This third volume of songs from the successful series continues in that tradition while, as the title suggests, exploring a little wider artistic range. "Don't Wait" by Dashboard Confessional and the Honorary Title's "Stay Away" immediately anchor the set with a familiar tone of urgency, while star Tyler Hilton offers up another expected sensitive acoustic ballad in "You'll Ask for Me." But elsewhere, the collection admirably pushes the envelope via such tasty, eclectic morsels as the infectious pop of the Kooks' "Naïve," Gym Class Heroes turning "Good Vibrations" into a stripped-down shuffle, and the effusive hip-hop-pop of Lupe Fiasco's "I Gotcha." But it's still a collection centered largely on the contemplative, indie spirit embodied by the Wreckers' gorgeous "Lay Me Down," Lucero's emotive dirge "Tell Me What It Takes," and the Constantines' similarly focused "Soon Enough." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

For the first time in television history, a mixtape heard in an episode will become a soundtrack album. Containing hits from artists such as Lupe Fiasco, Dashboard Confessional and The Wreckers, The Road Trip is another innovative musical breakthrough for a series that continues to be an indie showcase.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Road.......2007-06-14

I loved this disk from the first time I listened to it, but I had to know if it worked out on the road. I took a road trip from southern Kansas up to the NE part of the state playing this cd, and I fell in love all over again. Anybody who's gone thru Kansas knows what the landscape looks like, and it made the perfect backdrop to the music.
Hands down La Rocca's "Non-Believer," The Weepies "World Spins Madly On," and Band of Horses' "Funeral" are the best tracks on the album. Those songs alone are worth buying the cd for.

5 out of 5 stars Awesomeness.......2007-06-10

It's a great CD! There's not a song I don't like. Tyler's new song is a must be hit. The Weepies are always a good addition.

That's what I like about the OTH soundtracks. They're not filled with "what's now" hot in the music scene, but rather songs that can be listened to over and over, because you're not going to always hear them on the radio.

4 out of 5 stars the perfect follow up,hope there'll be a fourth..........2007-04-12

I admit,I love the show,but overall,it music and of couse it soundtracks,but I must say that some of the choices made for the track selection are a little too easy:
Don't wait : way to obvious choice but great though.The perfect song to start the CD with. 4,5/5
stay away : not the best from the band,but after listening to it several times you get used to it. 4/5
naive : good choice,siuts very well with the show itself,but not so good song. 3/5
the funeral : one of the highlight from the CD,great choice!....5/5
heartbeats : just the same as naive,but a good song. 3.5/5
you'll ask me : not his best by far and I must say that I get a little tired of him.
i gotcha : not the usual OTH tune but really great choice,second highlight. 5/5
good vibrations : way too much Citizen Cope vibes for me,but an OK song. 4/5
lay me down : third highlight,love the band and Michelle Branch. 5/5
soon enough : beautiful song but unnoticed,too bad. 3/5
he lays in the rein : fourth highlight,such a beautiful and lyrical song. 5/5
tell me what it takes : the same as soon enough,plus the song's not so good as for the band which is supposed to be one of Luca's favorite...2.5/5
just be simple : could have been a highlight but way too obvious and passe choice. 4.5/5
world spins madly on : love the band ad the song,fifth highlight. 5/5
non-believer : the perfect choice which was to be made.the sound from the great episode,song to live and die by,reminds me so much of Peyton. The sixth and last but not least highligh fom the CD. 5/5
chloe dancer/crowns of thorns : not my favorite at all but Jason Shwartzman made such a moving speech telling us why he chose the song that we have to at least like it. 3.5/5
If you love the show and the previous soundtrack just buy it,if not,buy it cause you'll find something you love on it.

5 out of 5 stars Another Great Soundtrack.......2007-04-05

One Tree Hill has really done it again. If you are a fan of the first two soundtracks, you will undoubtedly love this one. The show does a tremendous job of using music to help tell a story, and this soundtrack features the perfect sampling of songs from several of the pivotal scenes this season. I love that OTH offers a showcase for a lot of up-and-coming artists, so for those looking for something a little different than what's out on mainstream radio, I highly recommend this CD.

Further proof that the 15-year-old male is the nexus of contemporary popular entertainment, this anthology of music from and "inspired by" the sequel to the earth-conquering Halo saga also showcases how capably the video game industry can trump even Hollywood's vaunted production values. The original synth-heavy underscore by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori is filled with enough brooding, mock-Goth atmospherics, and pulsing exotica of indeterminate ethnicity to give the Hans Zimmer stable a run for their money, while a slate of (mostly) worthy rock star guest turns give it a welcome edge. Legendary axe-slinger Steve Vai's sinewy riffing punches up the reworked main theme and "Never Surrender," while alt.metal contenders Breaking Benjamin serve up the suitably dramatic inspired-by cut "Blow Me Away." But it's Incubus' four-part "Odyssey" suite that's the centerpiece, bridging 1970s prog and modern rock with its moody aura and evocative musical dramatics. --Jerry McCulley

This CD stayed in my truck's CD player for months before getting tired of it. Enough said.

5 out of 5 stars Great game - great music.......2007-01-10

My son wanted this Cd. I had never sat long enough to listen to the music when he played Halo, so I didn't have a clue what I was buying. He let me listen to some of the tracks once it arrived and I had to "borrow" it from him so I could download the cd onto my pc. Needless to say I bought volume 2 and the original Halo soundtrack cd as well. They may belong to my son, but I love these cds too!

3 out of 5 stars Hug your pillows girls.......2006-08-06

THe only reason I am writing anything about this album is because it contains the Odyssey by Incubus, and its probably some of their best work and will go down as their most unnoticed. While the rest of your nerds are huggin your pillows at night thinking about your video games and the "gnarly instrumentals" on this album you sit there and bash Incubus' work. The first track by them, Follow, is not all that great however it was re-released on an additional cd with their Alive at Red Rocks DVD and it sounds sooooooo much better on that cd (with some real lyrics) But after listening to the Odyssey I was really hoping this to be a new direction for Incubus, a more proggressive/conceptual sound. Whether this is the direction they go on with their new album is yet to be heard. Its a shame that this work will go unnoticed, and the only reason it will be that way because a bunch of losers decide to try and impress people with (what they think) is a sense of music just because its of a classical nature. Yes, the rest of the music on the album is amazing, and I give big ups to its composition, but come on people, show some love to good music when its presented to your faces.

5 out of 5 stars best video game soundtrack ever........2006-08-03

i understand that many people are a bit angry with breaking benjamin and hoobastank being in here. i'm not particularly happy myself with the last track, but i think contemporary music is appropriate here, albeit lyrics may not be the greatest form of expressing the mysterious feeling behind everything. i think o'donnel and salvatori have what it takes to compose a score of music, but it's not a score, it's a soundtrack. i found that if you don't like them you can just skip them. the second to last track is a great way to end the soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars classical music listeners stop complaining.......2006-05-10

The worst part of this album was songs with lyrics (breaking benjamin, techno, hoobastank)...i dont understand then why people are upset with the incubus - follow has one word the whole song (two if you count "yeah") and their instrumental songs are brilliant, floyd-esque at times. for those of you reading others criticizing this album, ignore them, ignore the three bad songs on this album, and purchase it and enjoy it.

Great cd and super collector's item for all Smallville fans! You'll love hearing the full length version of the theme song "Save Me," plus the songs are all terrific and take you back to the shows in which they aired.

5 out of 5 stars Talon.......2007-05-24

A very enjoyable CD. I like being able to listen to the music of TV series, such as Smallville, which I have especially enjoyed. I am really pleased that CDs like this are available.

If you are a Smallville fan, as i am you will love The Talon Mix.
Also by putting the disk in your ROM drive you have access to the town of Smallville and more........
If you are in to Smallville you will not be disappointed with this purchase. I think it is excellent and so i am giving it five stars.

4 out of 5 stars Smallville Volume 1.......2006-03-16

Out of the two soundtracks, this one is the best. The mixture of songs has the feel of the show. There are about 5 or 6 songs that are the best. I was a little disapointed by the lack of extras in the inset, but if you have the boxsets, then this id not a major thing.
good listening :-)

Amazon.com

With the same alternative-pop theme as the first Smallville collection, this second disc once again reveals just how much the show integrates music into its plot lines and overall feel. The track list includes familiar songs such as the All American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret," and Depeche Mode's newest hit "Precious," but there are also a few surprises. The Alan Moulder remix of the Dandy Warhols' "All The Money Or Simple Life Honey" is a booty-shaking blast, while the rock-meets-goth cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" courtesy of HIM is an amusingly amped-up new take on the older tune. Actress-songstress Minnie Driver offers her light jazz take on Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" (which also appeared on her debut disc), and Lifehouse delivers their touching version of "You and Me," while Josh Kelley's "Almost Honest" could be the soundtrack to anybody's breakup or breakdown. It's true that many of these songs have been previously released, but Smallville fans are a devoted bunch who will likely appreciate being able to buy their favorite tracks on one disc. --Denise Sheppard

2 out of 5 stars Metropolis Mix.......2007-06-01

I loved the Talon Mix (Smallville Vol One), so I thought this would be another great CD. I was disappointed. It has about 4 songs that are good. But everything else is pretty dull. There's tons of great music throughout the seasons of Smallville. Hopefully the next Volume will be better.

5 out of 5 stars Super Metropolis.......2007-05-24

I enjoy listening to this CD as it reminds me of a TV series that I particularly like & the music has been an integral part of that enjoyment.

4 out of 5 stars Smallville Musical Wonders.......2007-05-23

The second volume of hits added to the Smallville soundtrack is quite a delight!

Whether you like the smooth rhythm of Depeche Mode rendering "Precious", the deeply romantic "You and Me" from Lifehouse, the bouncing fun of The All-American Rejects in "Dirty Little Secret" or the soulful "Hungry Heart" from Minnie Driver, this soundtrack has it all and more!

Don't miss it!

5 out of 5 stars Love IT.......2007-05-14

This is a great soundtrack even if you are not a Smallville fan (but I am).

5 out of 5 stars Another Winning Smallville Soundtrack.......2007-04-11

This soundtrack contains many different styles of music and all are worth-while. The only song I didn't like was Superman by Stereophonics, but the rest of the tracks, and especially the first two, certainly make up for it. I recommend this soundtrack for any Smallville fan, or for anyone who likes good music.

Put this baby on after work on a Friday night. Mix up your favorite beverages and start the weekend right. Great CD for a party or just "chillin". If only we had a road map to get back to these days when life was a little easier. No P.C. garbage, no cell phones or fax machines. Just come home to your wife, mix up the cocktails and do it! Put this CD on, pretend its 1962 and drink it up!!

5 out of 5 stars Really great for dancing and for listening!.......2005-04-17

I just happened to run across this CD by chance and after listening to a few track samples, decided to buy it right away. I wasn't disappointed - now I play it all the time! The tracks here are a unique blend of musical styles, including jazz, Latin, Brazilian, and early 60's dance music - they all fit under the umbrella of "lounge music" and every single one is great. There are some fun surprises, like a jazzy Connie Francis singing "Bossa Nova Hand Dance" in Portuguese, Dick Hyman's Lowrey organ and bongo arrangement of "Washington Square", and Les Elgart's big band twist version of "Frenesi", which I think is my favorite track. I also love Rene Touzet's Latin-ized "Baby Elephant Walk", Cal Tjader's supremely cool "Soul Sauce" and Perez Prado's rock-mambo "Why Wait". Throw in some great vocal tracks from Mel Torme, Ann-Margret, Nancy Wilson and Mose Allison, plus Quincy Jones, Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 and other fine artists in the genre, and you've got a classic party CD guaranteed to make you feel good every time you hear it. I definitely recommend buying this one!

4 out of 5 stars Shaken, not stirred.......2005-02-12

This CD features 18 tracks that might have been played at a "cocktail party" back in the 1960s. It is a fun combination of vocals and instrumentals dating from 1958 to 1967. This is the kind of music that was played at parties for adults back then. None of that "rock and roll" stuff here! There is a lot of bossa nova here, plus jazz-pop and various other swinging styles. This is the perfect music to listen to while drinking martinis (not that I ever had a martini). If you are a fan of the lounge music revival, you will enjoy this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Love It Love It Love It.......2001-12-09

I am new to Lounge but knew I loved Austin Powers-type music so I took a chance on this one and this is my favorite CD. I need two copies, one for my car and one for the house! Many of the artists weren't familiar to me but it was love at first listen with Ann-Margret's 13 Men (first track), then an elevator-muzak style Girl from Ipanema and the classics Soul Bossa Nova and Mais Que Nada (you'll know it when you hear it). House of Bamboo is so much fun as is Hot Barbeque and a different version of Dave Brubeck's Take Five. It's all great - run, don't walk, to get out your martini glasses. Oh, and last but not least, the inside jacket is jam-packed with career bios of each artist. This is a must-have.

5 out of 5 stars We play this every Thursday during our Martini Thursdays.......2000-12-13

This CD has it all. It is great. All you have to do is make some martinis, put this CD on. As soon as Ann Margaret starts with "13 Men" it sets the scene.

Reissuing old dance records can be dicey, because so many of them don't age well. There are exceptions, of course, like this digitally spiffed up and beautifully packaged, 3-disc Renaissance collection from Sasha and John Digweed. Released originally in 1994, it's become a milestone representing not only the celebrated duo's first recorded mix but also a snapshot of British dance at its raving, glorious peak. Disc 1 opens with a triplet of Leftfield's "Song for Life" and moves through still-potent tracks from Disco Evangelists ("De Niro") and F. Machine ("Child Bride"). The run continues on discs 2 and 3, as it lightly glides through Fluke's "Slide" and EMF's "They're Here." And what would a trip down amnesia lane be without a stop at Moby's "Go"? Nostalgia only goes so far, and some songs that sounded great at the time are a little soft now (see "Not Over Yet"). But that innocence gets at the heart of the collection's appeal, reminding us of when dance music seemed primed to take over the planet. -Matthew Cooke

2 out of 5 stars Yikes...Cheers to Electronica's Evolution.......2007-06-05

If you recognize the tracks by name and have a strong sense of nostalgia or you are a newcomer and are curious about what electronica sounded like in the early 90's then it may be worth your greenbacks. Otherwise save your pennies on this Renaissance novelty.

Three discs featuring very poorly aged tracks encompassing various genres during their early (but continual) evolution.

I try to stay clear of accusing DJ's (that I also consider artists) of in your face commercialism, but this compilation has me changing my tune slightly. Re-releasing a compilation from 1994 in 2005 seems like an easy way to sucker a few people into buying an old collection of severely outdated tracks. Apparently the market was there as the original release was selling for up to $400 as a collector's item.

If you are curious about the history of electronica, and more specificly, Sasha and Digweed's early (possible their first) commercial release then you may be satified with this three disc set. Otherwise there are much better "Mix Collections" out there that document electronica's evolution.

Disc 1 and 2 get 2/5 stars while disc 3 gets 3/5 stars (just for the fact that it doesn't have multiple re-mixes of the same track on it like discs 1 and 2 do).

4 out of 5 stars The Renaissance Men.......2007-01-13

Celebratory and expansive, house music (especially during its infancy) was never meant to be taken too seriously. It was (and still is) the musical embodiment of a very specific mood. It is fueled by adrenaline and charged by neural sparks of creativity that can be both feral and robotic. Like all mediums, its growing pains were sometimes evidenced by awkward (and incredibly embarassing) moments (see The Best of House series for a few good examples of these), but there were also shining moments of brilliance, like this three-disc set.

I disagree that this mix should be highly rated if for no other reason than because of its place in house history (unlike cars or stamps, the value of music rarely increases along with its age). However, I will say that many of these twelve-year-old cuts aren't just a testament to the leaps and bounds that house music made during its genesis (thanks in no small part to Sasha & Digweed), but some of them are still very relevant as markers of fine craftsmanship, especially in a genre that is threatened every year with death by dull monotony. This album -- one of the first of its kind to go gold, and single-handedly ensuring the fame of Sasha and Digweed as house music's most trusted ambassadors -- is everything that good club music still wants to be.

Okay, well, not everything. Even the Almighty S & D aren't immune to a little dating. Each of the three discs has patchy moments where the music misfires ("Tranceillusion"), skids on atonal redundancy ("House Stompin'"), or is just plain annoying ("Bombscare"). And for listeners familiar with S & D's latest oeuvre, some of the tunes will definitely sound a mite-bit backward. This is to be expected when you're listening to house music that's over a decade old.

But what's a pleasant surprise are the caramel-smooth progressions and transitions (the "Song For Life" trilogy), the skittery electro-tangles ("Slid"), and the ecstatic, round-house power hits ("Sublime"). Although the discs contain their fair share of crumbling, poorly-aged retro-rhythms, these weak spots are obscured by the lush vibrancy of the rest of the albums.

Sasha and Digweed may have come a long way since 1994, but that doesn't mean their starting point was necessarily a bad place. It had its flaws, its cracks and gaudy mouldings, but -- as this set proves -- their point of origin wasn't something embarrasing which they have since left behind. It was a solid bedrock, a great wide launching pad, that they continue to reinvent in newer and better ways. Fans of the genre and of the artists should buy this album to rediscover the classics that goaded the music into loftier realms; newcomers should buy this album to learn just how timeless even this most modern of musics can still be.

5 out of 5 stars Essential..........2006-10-21

Techno and the whole electronica scene has certainly splintered from its early days with genre after genre and label after label being attached to its many forms and sounds. But it all starts here, really. It was this mix, this year, this scene that blazed the trail for the rise of techno as, dare I say it, popular. Oh, sure, there was techno prior to this but not in a format for mass consumption. It was mostly an "insider" thing with a few hints in the marketplace that it was coming as all scenes do when they hit critical mass.

I was a latecomer to the whole thing having dabbled in some Eon in the early 90s and beginning listening to Moby sometime circa 1994, about the same time as this was released. I first heard John Digweed when I stumbled across his Global Underground Los Angeles mix in 1999. Consuming everything GU I would eventually stumble across this, purchasing a copy from the UK for a pretty penny.

This mix captures a snapshot in time. The opening three tracks with the various remixes of Leftfield instantly set the tone that something special is happening. With singing divas, remixes of artists who are now fairly well known, Moby being one of them, these mixes capture a moment in time, an era, the re-emergence of dance music.

From time to time I will pull this out to listen to it, hoping it doesn't sound cheesy, dated and ridiculous. It never really does. At worst it is sentimental. Though it does show its age (especially some of the diva tunes, an obligatory insert in all mixes of this period, overplayed to the point of parody), this is not in the negative. It still sounds sweet and is a gentle reminder that for as much as techno has "sold out" today (television theme songs, movie soundtracks and commercials) that it still sounds remarkably fresh.

As every classic rocker needs some of the essentials of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd with newer staples such as Metallica, Nirvana and Guns 'n' Roses, anyone who likes techno or DJ mixes needs to get a copy and develop deep roots.

1 out of 5 stars Practically the worst Sasha & Digweed mix ever.......2006-03-07

I've been listening to Sasha and Digweed for a very very long time, and I wanted this Renaissance mix collection after going to the nightclub in the U.K. because of the amazing experiences there. However, I was disturbed when I listened to this 3cd set. Infact it doesn't reflect on anything Sasha has done even before these mixes. I would never have bought this item had I known how horrible it is. While the mixing is good, the track selection is not what I expected, I learned my lesson...

5 out of 5 stars Essential CD for sasha fans.......2006-01-07

If you don't like Sasha and are just getting into him I suggest you try something a bit more current. This CD has been recently remastered and the mixing, production level, and track selection is truly historical but this CD is for people that like Sasha and want to own his classic sets hence the term collectros edition used on the casing. If you are new to Sasha or the genre get involver and then Ibiza and then Paul Oakenfold's tranceport for his take on the Gus Gus track purple which is considered by most people to be one of the most awe-inspiring remixes of all time.

Bottom line: U want it? go for it its pretty impressive from start to finish, featuring the likes of Leftfield, Sasha himself, moby and a tremendous host of others.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the best dance collection series ever!.......2004-04-11

Montell Jordan's "This is How We Do It" many might recall was a massive storm on the pop and R&B during much of 1995 and 1996 with it's mainstream old school hip hop beats and fun melody. I really enjoyed this track a lot during it's heyday and while R&B went down the toilet not long afterwards, this track to me has held up very well over the years since then. The next two tracks while not terrible are nothing to write home about. Planet Soul's song of the same name is the first. The song starts off promising with a pulsating beat but then goes into a state of mediocrity from there forth. The the drippy electronic sound effects are actually a bit annoying sounding more like malfunctioning microwave. Barbara Tucker's "Stay Together" is similar to the previous but fares better with a better beat and odd cymbal sound effects and the electronic sound effects for the melody work a lot better. The only thing that keeps this song from being much to write home about is that it's very short and the result is a song that sounds more like an interlude than a song. The keyboard intro to Real McCoy's "Another Night" comes in towards the ending and Real McCoy's track starts. In all honesty, flawed as "Stay Together" may be, I actually love how it transitions into "Another Night". "Another Night" is one of my favorite dance songs of all time. It is a dark but also fun dance song with very macho rapping but also excellent melody, a dark undertone and innovative beats. "Another Night" is not only a great track but after so many years since it's heyday, it has held up well over the years and it still sounds modern to this day.. The song transitions into Whigfields "Saturday Night". This very bizarre track is excellent nighttime dancing music for a party in the big city. The song is a very quirky and bizarre track but also really fun and positively cheesy. The quacking duck sound-effects in the beat are really funny to listen to. Over time, this track has become a guilty pleasure of mine. "Moving On Up" by M-People is a really fun and somewhat angry song about moving on after breaking up with someong who is extremely egotistic and how one moves on upwards. The song has a very strong disco style to it and excellent keyboard sounds. "The Bomb" by The Bucketheads is an odd track with a mix of 1970s disco/funk elements and strange voice effects to give the song a very 1960s sort of sound to it. "Dreamer" by Livin' Joy is a classic having a very strong techno rhythm and excellent vocals. I love the beat and the attack keyboard effects are really excellent. This track has also held up well over the years. "Rhythm Of The Night" by Corona is another great track. This song has a very strong and intense melody and an excellent beat. The production on this song is just excellent and almost everything that could be good about a dance track is on this track. I love the keyboard effects and like "Dreamer", this song has also lasted very well over time. Joanne Farell's "All I Wanna Do" isn't a lot to write home about. I was never really a fan of the original by Sheryl Crow and this dance remix doesn't really help either. While nowhere near being terrible or even bad, this track is among the lesser appealing songs and it has dated very badly over time. "Tonight Is The Night" by Le Click is a gem on this song. It has a really cool techno beat and buzzing synthesizer effects for the melody and not to mention excellent vocals from the late Melanie Thornton to create a great track. It's sometimes a bit sad to listen to since her passing in a plane crash late in 2001. TITN ends and merges right into what I consider one of the most unique tracks on this collection. "Find Me" by Jam and Spoon is a really hypnotizing track with a very light beat and beautiful acoustic guitars and haunting ambient New Agey sound and the result is a great song. I love the vocals and the melody is absolutely haunting. The songs acoustic guitars blend this track into the energy of the next track "Take Control" by BKS. This song is radically different from the two tracks on the first and second entries in the Dance Mix USA series. The first two are very strange and remote sounding classics. "Take Control" however is a very energetic and rave-like dance track with a great melody and unique chord structure. "Get Ready For This" by 2-Unlimited is a famous sports classics. Younger and some older audiences will almost know this song by heart. This song holds a lot of great memory for me because it was played at many sports tournaments that I participated in as a kid and it makes me yearn for those days again. It is a fun and absolutely energetic dance song that will cheer you up and look to the future. "Cotton-Eyed Joe" by Rednex is one of the funniest but also most brilliant dance songs ever done. It is a fast paced and hilarious song that actually blends Western Cowboy Bluegrass and country and mixes it with techno dance and ironically it works so well. "Set You Free" by N Trance is another excellent song with excellent melody, great beats, and great vocals. "Close To You" by Fun Factory is a fun and excellent dance track with a slight reggae-ish sound to it. I really love the keyboards and odd sound effects too. "Get Away" by Maxx is similar to the previous and a more stadium dance sound to it. "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base closes this dance collection on a great note with a funky and reggae-ish style and great beats.

I was flipping through some of my CD cases for older CDs, looking for something interesting to play in my dance classes. I found this one, and was curious. I listened to it in the car, and it is awesome! There are so many awesome songs on this disc. There are so many party classics on here! There are hits like This Is How We Do It (Montell Jordan), Another Night (Real McCoy), Don't Turn Around (Ace Of Base), Get Ready For This (2Unlimited) and Cotton Eye Joe (Rednex). Plus you get a lot of really good tracks by newer artists. If you love party collections, this is a must. It is a flat out awesome CD with great beats. Definately pick this up!

5 out of 5 stars Rump shakin goodness.......2005-05-07

I like to dance and am very good at it. I know all the moves like the caterpillar, windmill and cabbage patch. I bought a New Kids on the Block how to dance video in Jr. high and learned the hottest moves. Cds to dance to do not get better than this. Can you start a CD with two stronger tracks than Informer and Ditty? By the end of these two tracks it's time to take a break and drink a zima with a cherry. I'm a man's man but how do you keep the energy after coming out of the box like that. Informer, say no mo daddy snow I gonna blay a licky boom boom now so say daddy ma snow i me gonna blame. That is deep and so true. He's only the best candian rapper with a jamaican accent ever. Throw that beat behind it and you're talking gold. Then Paperboy comes at you full force with the ditty. Back in I-City in the early 90s the boys were kicking it at the fieldhouse and when Ditty came on we had a planned dance that might as well have been a mating call because right away every girl in the club moved to our end of the building and wanted to buy us drinks. We picked hottays to take back to the dorms and turned it out into another party. We had this CD and we just kept the party going until John Knicely showed up and pooped on the floor. After that it smelled and we closed shop.

4 out of 5 stars Some of my favorite dance songs when I was in my 20's .......2005-03-18

This CD was released in 1994 and the songs are from the '91-'94 era. Back in those days, I was clubbing every weekend and enjoying many of these songs. Here is my track by track review:

1. Informer by Snow: Not something I ever remember dancing to at clubs, just remember it being all over the radio at the time and getting tired of hearing it.

2. Ditty by Paperboy: Same as Track 1, thankfully we get past these 2 tunes early and move on to the TRUE dance music.

3. Shoop by Salt n' Pepa: I love this song, however, the mix here is not the version I prefer.

4. More & More by Captain Hollywood Project: A great example of the euro-dance music to come out of Germany during this period. Not only a dance hit, but also went to #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.

5. I'm Gonna Get You by Bizarre Inc.: A fun and lively dance tune, and the mix between the previous track & this track is flawless.

6. The Key, The Secret by Urban Cookie Collective: Another lively, bouncy dance tune like Track 5. One of my favorites from my club days.

7. Give it Up by The Goodmen: Another great euro-dance tune that uses whistle blowing and drumline, which was very fashionable in dance music at the time.

8. Talkin About Love by BKS: I don't remember hearing this track "back in the day", but it is a good dance track none-the-less.

9. Supermodel by RuPaul: Gotta love Ru. He has had other good songs since this one, but none have been this fabulous.

10. No Limit by 2 Unlimited: Another sub-genre of dance music during this period, rave. My uptight cousin used to call this kind of music "communist music", but I loved bouncing up & down on the dance floor to this and 2 Unlimited's other hits.

11. Whoomp! There it Is by Tag Team: Ugh...the real dud of this CD.

12. Take me in Your Arms by Li'l Suzy: Another sub-genre, free-style. Free-style was winding down it's popularity and originality by this point, but a good song.

13. Happy by Legacy of Sound: Back to the bouncy, frantic sound heard on tracks 5 & 6. My #1 favorite track on this CD.

14. Forget me Nots by Ava Cherry: I don't remember hearing this remake of Patrice Rushen's classic at the clubs, and although it is good, it does not come near Patrice's excellent version.

15. Show me Love by Robin S: Diva vocals to blow you away. Went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

16. Finally by CeCe Peniston: Another diva who had a string of hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including this one which also went to #5.

17. This is It by Dannii Minogue: Dannii never achieved the stateside success that her sister Kylie has, and this track explains why.

Yes, there are a few duds here and some songs that are just ok, but the awesome dance tracks ("Happy", "More & More", "I'm Gonna Get You", "The Key, The Secret", "Give it Up", "Show me Love", and "Finally") well make it worth buying.

5 out of 5 stars Classics from back in the day!.......2004-05-06

I still have lots of memories from many many years ago and this CD brings a lot of great memories of those days when dance music was at it's absolute best. "More and More" and "I'm Gonna Get You" are my dance anthems of my lifetime. A pity that dance music has almost completely collapsed ever since. :(((

5 out of 5 stars Excellent dance album!.......2004-04-15

This second entry in the awesome "Dance Mix USA" CD series is one of my favorites of them all. I can't say how it ranks with like the first, forth and sixth entries in the series but this second volume is just awesome to listen to and all of the songs still hold up well.

"Informer" by Snow is a sadly forgotten classic from the early 1990s and has a New Jack Swing and strong old school hip-hop rhythm and excellent melody, all of which are totally absent in today's rap music! I still enjoy this song a lot. "Ditty" by Paper Boy is a lot more urban and has excellent rhyming and great beats as well. Both of these songs were fun themes back in 1993 when they were popular as I was in a lot of tournaments around this time in my life and these songs hold a lot of memory for me. "Shoop" by Salt N Pepa is a risqué danceable hip-hop classic that was like the forerunner to what TLC would do very shortly afterwards. While not on the raunchy level of "Let's Talk About Sex", this song is indeed on the wild side if you ask me. "More and More" by Captain Hollywood is a dynamite classic. The song begins with electronic sound effects and a haunting ambient intro comes and then the song becomes a highly radiant techo-dance number with some macho rapping too. In a lot of ways, this was like the precursor to Real McCoy's "Another Night" that came in the mid to late 1990s as it has some of the dark undertones of that track. I love this song a lot. "I'm Gonna Get You" is another highly energetic and fun dance song with really excellent keyboards and frantic keyboard rhythm. "The Key The Secret" by Urban Cookie Collective is a somewhat strange dance track with few vocals and fun hip-hop rhythm. I'll continue this review later.

4 out of 5 stars Very interesting, it's a must if you like to party........2000-07-12

Just browse the song list and you will see what I'm talking about. Dance, Dance and Dance the night away!

    5 out of 5 stars Classic........2005-09-11

    it was the mid-90s, and chicago hard-house was in full effect (in my opinion, when house music was still good). if you came from the northside of chicago or los angeles and were a teenager from the inner city during this time period, you'd know who badboybill is. hands down badboybill was the best from this genre, and bangin the box2 along with house connection 1 is pretty much the definition of this era.

    1 out of 5 stars No doubt, the man knows how to mix, but...........2002-05-06

    In all the fury of lacing out a hurricane of tracks, Bad Boy Bill tends to overlook quality, focusing on quantity instead...
    Beatmixing makes not a DJ my man, ease up a lil' sum sum and dig in dem crates for better records!

    5 out of 5 stars AMAZING, ENERGIZING, PUMPING.......1999-07-21

    5 out of 5 stars Bad Boy Bill drops DA BOMB again!.......1998-08-01

    Even better than the Vol. 1, Bad Boy Bill continues to bring house music to a higher level. This man from Chicago is one of the top DJ in the country, and this CD shows why. 60 minutes of non-stop house music. Add it to you collection
