Dreamy & Drowsy.......2006-12-29
Not nearly as ambitious as "The K&D Sessions," nor as energized as "DJ Kicks," "Conversions" is Kruder and Dorfmeister at their most introspective. The Austrian duo displays their typical panache with a serving of soulful drum and bass, seamlessly blending a wealth of clean and cool rhythms into something that plays like a single, hour-long anthem to twilight. Although this album is, in true K&D fashion, immaculately presented, it is also the most passive thing they've ever created. The end result is something as drowsy as it is brilliant. Put this record on and you will undoubtedly enjoy it, but it's soothing pulse may put you to sleep long before you have time to reach the end.
gorgeous drum and bass.......2006-04-19
I stumbled upon this CD after hearing K&D's brilliant "Sessions". "Conversions" is pure drum and bass. The beats are tight, the bass is deep and warm, all overlayed with beautiful ambient flourishes. The first four tracks are average/pretty good, but they're only a warm-up. The real journey begins when K&D kick it into high-gear with the final 6 tracks. Starting with "One and Only" and ending with "The Lick", this seamless stretch of drum and bass is excellent and addictive. Drum and bass fans should definitely check out this cd.
Also, if for some reason you don't have the K&D Sessions cd, make sure you pick that up as well. It's different than this, less drum and bass and more downtempo-chillout with more variety.
pretty much tops on my desert island discs list.......2006-04-04
i ask you who dig this album - is there ANYTHING to which you can compare this record? LTJ Bukem is about as close as it gets, and he is more repetitive than this incredible, textured, listen-to-it-a-billion-times record. it is astonishing.
Ethereal trip.......2006-01-27
In case of funk, break this glass...if you're head is filled with day to day dead ends, the voyage on this gorgeous piece will make you soul wish for a stash of more around every corner of your life.
The gentle but edgy melodies are punctuated by distant sounding voices (beautiful "One and Only", the mesmerizing "Find me"- worth the CD itself ) while the drum&bass hectic but delicate balance maintains the awkwardness intact. Keyboards also hit some high pitch tones and ensure the experience is taking you places you rarely go (the lively "Searching"). A sexy sax can play the notes as well making smooth transitions to jazzier settings ("Ballistic Brothers"). At times the beats do get more enticed ("Nu Birth of Cool" and "Skanna" evoking Alex Reece). "Speechless takes you back to K&D more classic style, which is a tad more clubby and has a sturdy bass to make it hip. The last three pieces are quite frankly amazing. They set the tone for a perfect landing and you literally feel like you are sitting on clouds (as they even include space-like dialogues) with very funky 70`s like keyboards and trumpet. The ending has all of the three main elements of this great K&D recipe: eerie female vocals, a present but soft rhythm box and a tune that heightens your mind.
The greatness of this album is in the difference that it makes in your collection. It's a discreet little diamond that you will come back to since it bears the K&D label of quality stemming from hours and hours of listening and looking for the rare tunes that will take you out of this sometimes humdrum world...
Excellent Drum n Bass.......2005-12-13
Based on its popularity, I picked up K&D Sessions for my first K&D purchase. I naturally craved more K&D soon after, but I wavered on buying Conversions. When I went for it, though, I was glad I did!
As other reviews state, Conversions is markedly different from Sessions. It is a more upbeat album and has a flow such that it is really hard to discern when the track changes! At the beginning of the album tracks are very melodic. Throughout the middle the bass picks up and really becomes the emphasis. Near the end of the album, strong melodies are picked up again and there are some really sick drum beats, especially on track 9 :) By the end you are ready to listen to the album straight down again.
While Sessions contains a wider variety of electronic styles and really has some standout tracks, Conversions, as one reviewer mentioned, is about the whole album experience. Though it is upbeat, its not hard at all to turn throw on some headphones late at night and totally chill out with Conversions. Highly Recommended!

This album is the best I've ever heard.......2006-01-06
I was a fan of the band before I've bought Natural Selection, but since this album I can say that I'm one of the biggest fans of Fuel. Quarter and Won't Back Down are awesome rock songs, while Down Inside Of You, Falls On Me are so beautiful, when I listen to them I always think of that boy I loved so much, but unfortunately he isn't here with me.
But I can say taht their best song for me is still: Hemorrhage (In my hands).
Good Effort.......2005-10-17
Fuel had the kind of sound that you could compare to those old grunge bands like the Smashing Pumpkins, Sound Garden or even Pearl Jam.. Brett Scallions just brings that "post-grunge" edge to the band.. However, I was pleased to find Fuel experimenting with their style on this album.. It was evident right from the radio single, "Fall On Me", a melodic hard rock song..
There is a much harder bass on this CD, and for anyone who heard "Won't Back Down" off the Daredevil Soundtrack, you can expect much of a similar sound.. No more "Shimmer", no more "Bad Day", just hard riffs and strong vocals..
Standout Songs:
"Falls On Me"
"Million Miles" (My personal favorite)
"Won't Back Down"
"Running Away"
"Most Of All"
"Getting Thru?"
Worth the money, I'd recommend it to anyone who loves hard rock or grunge
OnE oF tHe BeSt BaNdS tOdAy.......2005-09-19
fuel have brought out three albums that have shocked me. Their rock, guitars and hard-hitting lyrics are all awesome in all three of these albums.Fuel are obviously one of the best bands today and will go on to prove it to the rest of the world.
More Great Fuel!.......2005-08-03
I have Something Like Human and think that Natural Selection is equally good, if not better. I really enjoy it. Fuel is the bomb. I got to hear them play live once. Very cool stuff. This album has about eight great songs on it. Definitely worth a purchase. If you like their style get Something Like Human also. You will not be disappointed.
Straying from their previous sound..........2005-06-13
So, I thought this album was very different from their first two. Their first album (Sunburn) was very catchy and relied completely on the quality of the songs, not on the guitar effects or production of the album. Their second album (Something Like Human) took the best of their first album, the catchy hooks and heart-felt lyrics and expanded them with varied guitar effects and vocals. I believe that is their strongest album.
This album, Natural Selection, I think is right on the edge (close to falling off) of what made Fuel great. I went out and bought this CD the first day it came out. After the first listen through, I knew what was different. Carl Bell (lead guitarist & songwriter) I believe got too guitar-effects happy. He delves into much more complicated solos (which are great for rock fans, but not for melody) and Brett Scallions (vocalist) has a much mellower tone and sings in a lower key for many more songs than he ever did in the first two albums. The problem with this is that that isn't what made Fuel great. Brett's melodic high-pitched vocals and Carl's catchy tunes are what made this band great.
Having said that, I enjoy this album very much, just not to the same extent as Something Like Human. I think this album is much more cohesive than their past two albums, but the singles aren't as strong. Falls On Me I think was the wrong choice for their first single. They went the way of Staind and a few other bands trying to make Falls On Me semi-anthemic and a heavier ballad. Fuel's best slower songs have been their softer ones (Shimmer, Sunburn, Hemorrhage, Innocent). Their faster songs have been the heavier ones and have done that well. I think Quarter or Down Inside Of You should have been their first single, or perhaps Die Like This. I hope their next album is a mix of their first two, back to pure melodies and not relying on effects and production.
I think my favorite songs off this album are "Down Inside Of You", "Luck", "Running Away", and "Quarter". In conclusion, if you're a hardcore Fuel fan (as I am) then get this album. If you enjoyed their first two albums, this one is worth a try. If you only really enjoyed their singles (Shimmer, Hemorrhage, Innocent, etc.) then I think this CD is not for you, although it wouldn't hurt listening to it to make sure :)

Major Disappointment.......2003-09-12
Beware! This disk (unbelievably) has a truncated version of the title track that runs just 2:46 and only serves to RUIN a very nice song. Shame on the producer(s) of this CD. C'mon, people, IT'S THE TITLE TRACK for heaven's sake. A buyer has the right to expect the complete version of at least THAT track. Thumbs down, folks. WAY down!

A Remarkable Improvement.......2007-06-21
Over the Destination Rio album, that is. I was so turned off from that album, I probably put up my most negative review ever on this site. There wasn't a fresh spark to it, and it was lacking in sampling what's new and out there. But this one - Latin Vibes, is a major improvement. Admittedly, I didn't know it was Kinkysweet putting it together (I still check out Seamless "BarGrooves" albums from time to time. Had I known, I might've passed based on the Destination album. But I was very pleasantly surprised with this one (although I have yet to give it the test in a computer).
One of the more impressive things about the album is it's truthfulness in the title. It's more of an overall latin vibe... not just "Brazilian Electronica", but there's also Spanish influenced music as well and some great latin house & jazz. Very neat blends. So as not to go through two discs of songs, expect to hear a deep beat, excellent flute work, acoustic guitar and neat effects in the music. A really cool, tripped out latin experience in general, highlighted by Moodswings, Shawn Ward, Favela 5 and others. And that's CD1. CD2 starts out a bit shaky, but eventually warms up. Mondomo's track is a throw-away IMO - I never got into it when I first heard it on Cafe Copacabana. A bit too... not over the top, but the electronic voice takes away from the tune and is a sample that should've been left out. But the entire album really does have a sort of ambient vibe, even if the bossa feels a bit too dramatic. Some top cuts there were Malena's "No Me Digas Nada" (remember their popular "Para Ti" fro ma while back). This track reminds me of some of the old S-Tone Inc. songs from the early 2000's with Manuela Ravagliolli (SP?). Great soul! I thought "Fireside" was pretty interesting too.. nice little touch there with the horns, has a real sort of "Sunset on the West Coast USA" feel. Then the album ends with a pretty dreamy song dedicated to a giant melting pot of latin culture (today), Miami.
So this is a pretty good compilation. Real ambient, latin vibes perfect for lounging. Granted I couldn't listen to disc two all the way through, but there are some terrific songs here. Admittedly, I've had this one for a while but never tried to load it into the pc for iTunes or Rhapsody, Media Player etc. so I couldn't tell you if the wretched copy protect is still on this. If so, I'll adjust the star ranking tomorrow. :) Otherwise, it's a pleasant enough album - not a Brazilectro/Brazilution or Brazilian Love Affair threat by any stretch, but a cut above the criminally priced "Cafe Copacabana" import and obviously better than Frequent Flyer: Rio. So if you like this, check out Brazilectro and Nova Latino. You definitely want to catch the "Latin Deluxe" series, although it's hard to find now. And you'll probably like "New Latinaires" too.
Great CD!.......2007-05-21
When I first listened to this CD, I thought I had made a mistake. However, after forcing myself to listen to it more, I have come to love it!
salón exuberante-lush lounge Disc ONE only.......2005-10-24

If you fancy something chilled out & relaxing but with some deep & sophisticated latin vibes check out Kinkysweet's first release in their new 'Vibes' series of CD compilations (future 'Vibes' to include jazz, disco, funk etc). "Latin Vibes: Lounge Selection" reflects and collects on an array of production talent from some of the worlds coolest labels including, HiTop, Lovemonk, Papa & Freerange as well as introducing 14 (yes 14!) previously unreleased tracks making it a must have for both the sophisticated music fan & DJ alike.
The album is an intriguing exploration of how the many forms of latin music have subtly infiltrated the consciousness of so many of today's contemporary producers representing the new, sophisticated tastes of a wider audience. A perfect accompaniment to the poolside, beach or barbeque, this classy selection incorporates a wonderful balance of style & substance where the traditional rhythms of Latin America blend smoothly with cutting edge contemporary production values and soulful musicality, taking you on a smooth evocative sun drenched trip from Rio to Madrid and back, all from the cool and comfort of your convertible...

Little Green Bag.......2006-08-03
The sound quality is great on the whole CD, and this particular song is such a happy tune that it can turn a bad day into a good one just by listening to it.
George Baker Selection.......2005-10-17
While the music is good Paloma Blanca is by far the best followed by Little Green Bag. The rest are only a listen to now and then .
Its a good CD.......2001-02-12

Not the best sung but among the best in characterization.......2005-07-09
Between 1949 and 1951, the D'Oyly Carte Company was very busy recording nine of the Gilbert & Sullivan works onto mono LPs for the Decca label (or the London, as it was known over here), with comic lead Martyn Green in all but "Trial By Jury." After he left the company, Green was supplanted by Peter Pratt, who recorded the comic lead roles in "The Sorcerer" and "Princess Ida." All of these have waited a long time to appear on CDs and several companies have taken advantage of the copyright lapse to issue them at very high prices and at least one at very budget ones.
But now I find that all of the 1949-1951 sets are available on the Avid Entertainment label as a boxed set of 10 discs (AMSC 780-789). To keep things compact, the Avid people unavoidably had to place on the same disc Act I of one opera after Act II of the one before. There is also orchestral bonus material towards the end including orchestral selections from "Pinafore" and "Yeomen of the Guard," Sullivan's salute to the dance "Overture Di Ballo," and the entire score of the G&S-based ballet "Pineapple Poll."
Green is good and even better are the bottomless basso of Richard Watson, the most famous Mikado of them all Darrell Fancourt, and the sympathetic contralto of Ella Halman. Only tenor Leonard Osborne does not come over very well on recordings, although he was very good on stage. No true "Savoyard" will want to be without this collection.
Those who are perfectly happy with less will want "Gilbert & Sullivan: Highlights and Overtures" (AMSC 800), a double-CD set in which there are 27 selections from the complete recordings and the 9 overtures, plus "Overture Di Ballo." A great starter kit to introduce newcomers to the magic of the G&S team.

Album Description
Mission of Burma thrilled fans and critics when they reformed after nearly 20 years of inactivity. Since then they've extensively toured the US and Europe, playing these classic songs before thousands of ecstatic fans, new and old. A Gun To The Head is a band-compiled collection of the best songs and recordings from their seminal late `70s/early `80s period - all their best-loved material in one convenient package.

Decent-but-skewed sampler from a profound legacy.......2006-05-29
This appears to be a solid sampler of Burma's original body of work (with only one glaring omission) which will listen well for one kind of audience, but fail for another to live up to Burma's legacy.
To be clear, the original body of work included only two singles "Academy Fight Song" and "Trem Two," one ep Signals, Calls & Marches, one full-length album Vs., and one live testament The Horrible Truth About Burma. So this sampler collects 2/3rds (14 of 21) of the original studio releases, missing only 2 cuts from the ep, 3 from the lp, and both singles' b-sides. (Also missing: three more stout extras from the current Vs. release.)
For a listener inclined toward pop hooks, this collection really gathers them up, and probably makes a higher-density/value purchase than Signals, Calls & Marches. For "punchy and catchy," nothing's missing here except a couple that don't wear so well over time anyway (Outlaw, OK/No Way, New Nails). And, to its credit, there's enough of Burma's sublime side here to beckon a new listener to investigate further. (Contrary to reviewer below, I think All-World Cowboy Romance and Fun World are both genius, on par with Trem Two and Weatherbox.)
But for someone inclined toward elaborate innovation, this collection does Vs. a disservice, and would be advised to skip this for that. The most glaring omission here is Vs.' opening scorcher, Secrets, which warms up the aural stage for perhaps the most challenging and rewarding album ever made. If that's what you're looking for, the re-sequence of its material here will pale by comparison.
So this recommendation is pretty clear-cut. If you're inclined toward aggressive-but-catchy postpunk (that has inspired generations of music ever since), go ahead and try out all these eggs in one basket. But if you're seeking the height of ambitious progpunk, aim straight for Vs. to hear Burma at the peak of their powers. (In particular, their rhythmic innovation will shine brighter in that original set list.) You could then get Signals, Calls & Marches later, and never have needed this collection to begin with.
But as introductory samplers go, this one seems pretty effective to me, representing both sides of the band, but with an emphasis on "hooky" that overshadows Burma's true legacy.
...
Individual sampling recommendations for new listeners:
Pop/soulful: That's When I Reach For My Revolver (then Fame & Fortune)
Aggressive/stampeding: Learn How (then Fun World)
Hypnotic/mesmerizing: Trem Two (then All World Cowboy Romance)
Sublime/elaborate: Weatherbox (then Einstein's Day)
Joyous/energetic: That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate (then Mica)
Or go find Secrets on the Vs. page, which represents almost all the values listed above, to hear as nutshell of an attitude for that record as it offers.
tsk tsk, Rykodisc.......2005-09-02
While Rykodisc did the world a favor in 1997 by reissuing MoB's Signals, Calls & Marches, Vs. and The Horrible Truth About, this CD feels like just a blatant effort to cash in on MoB's surprisingly well-received reunion.
To add to this, this isn't even that decent of a sampler. Naturally, all three of Clint Conley's big "hits" are here (as too Roger Miller's "Fame and Fortune," which Graham Coxon also uber-faithfully covered in addition to "...Revolver"). However, it seems they tried to be "fair" to both Conley and Miller in terms of the number of songs, as opposed to the quality of songs, so the selection of Miller's songs ends up hurting. The clumsy "Fun World" instead of the brilliant and seering "Secrets"? Who made that call? And if they felt to need to cull two of Conley's songs off of The Horrible Turth About album, or include the rather uninteresting "All World Cowboy Romance" (co-written by Conley and Miller), why couldn't they get Miller's classic "Max Ernst" on here somehow? Granted, "Max Ernst" was only a b-side originally, but a sampler like this ought to benefit from hindsight, which means there's no good reason for it being excluded, as it, perhaps better than any other MoB song, encapsulates what Miller had wanted to acchieved with the first round of MoB's existence. It may be one song, but if you know MoB, you know this sampler's lacking significantly without it.
I give this 3 stars because it's MoB, so the music's still above par, regardless of my objections about track selections. But for your money, you're really far better off investing in either the Rykodisc reissues of the Signal, Calls & Marches EP and the Vs. album (but preferrably both). Not only will you get a fuller experience of MoB, both CDs have bonus tracks and the original (and superior) artwork that make them a better bargain than this.

Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold, two of the most famous DJs in the world and kings of big beat and house, respectively, are supremely showcased in this double-CD collection. The Essential Selection, Vol. 1 glorifies each mixmaster's equal, yet mutually exclusive talents in roof raising. The back-to-back discs are an enlightening example of the yin and yang of club music; Fatboy Slim's grounded, drier, giddier expressions of overlapping funk and disco juxtapose Oakenfold's spatial, entrancing continuum supplemented with buzzing, flatulent bass lines, and celestial synths. Both DJs are experts in flow, building beats seamlessly into climactic moments of frenzied, adrenaline-fueled euphoria, then swinging the vibe down again with the subtlety and patience of a free-falling feather. No doubt Fatboy Slim is known for his deliberate lack of subtlety stylistically, but when placed in this context, immediately compared to Oakenfold's ethereal grooves, it's evident that Stormin' Norman possesses copious finesse. Because of their stylistic polarity, like platinum and gold, these DJs shine with matched but multihued brilliance, and like soil and sun, are indispensable components of a diverse dance music ecology. --Beth Massa
Customer Reviews:
Oakenfold's finest trance.......2006-04-24
The Oakenfold disc of this set is the epitome of trance.
Certainly Oakenfold's finest trance CD, with Tranceport in second place. The track transitions are seemless [like in Tranceport], so you can just put the CD in and go into, for lack of a better word, a trance. Soothing but with a lot of energy.
You can't call yourself a fan of trance and not hear this.
Only half good..........2006-04-14
Fatboy just makes a lot of rhythmic noise! Very bad for your heart if you'd ask me. Oakenfield way more melodic. So definitely don't go for the new, but choose the cheaper used
I'm sure you've heard it all...........2004-12-02
Yes yes you've heard it all about Oakenfold being a sell out and everything from A to Z.. and how most techno is all dated and there is always something wrong with mixes, and true to this also, but it's still good music, Fatboy's mix is really housey ( kindof in a Fast paced 1-2 min song Housy kinda way, not like a digweed house way ) Fatboy does tear it up though, his cd is really up beat and great for driving to, although it does leave the listener wanting more,, maybe something deeper.... oh yea there is an Oakenfold cd to.... I really didn't think to much of oakie's mix for a couple of years.. Now it's almost 2005 and i've heard tons of different mixes, and when i went back and heard his cd it really amazed me. the song selection stuck in my head and i couldn't forget the tune of the songs. it's progressive and has a different vibe than any of his other cds. Of course there are a few boring and too long songs on here, but when you listen all through, it really is worth owning. the last 4 songs on the cd are truly incredible 5/5 stars with nothing wrong there, and the first like 6 songs are probly 3-4/5 . sure you can call him what you want but this cd is good.
This is Comical!!!.......2002-10-25
Boy, do I love this. Fatboy Slim tears it up on his CD, Oakenfold continues to put me to sleep!!! All I have to say is, if you have the extra money to drop on these CDs, buy it for Fatboy Slim's Disc. Truely one of his better...
Two genres, two discs, two different moods.......2002-09-28
First of all, if you've never been exposed to electronic music, buy this double CD set. It is a rarity among dance mix compilations since it includes two popular but very different styles of dance mixed by two of the biggest DJs in the world. Almost all other dance mix sets contain one style exclusively, so this album is truly a 2-for-1 deal.
If you happen to be an electronica guru, this compilation may not whet your thirst for innovation. The first CD, Fatboy Slim's big beat mix, sounds dated, despite being fairly high energy. True, there are it's fine points, such as the few tracks in the middle of the mix that create an enjoyable climax, but as a whole the mix sounds old and worn. Unless you're a truly big Fatboy Slim fan, his mix probably will have you hitting the "skip" button on your CD player over and over again to escape the repetition of annoying beats.
As for the Oakenfold mix, it's the reason I gave the album 4 stars. Stand-alone, this CD is one of the best trance mixes to come out just before the trance genre began to flood with exhausted, overplayed, producer driven stagnation. Some critics have panned the Oakenfold mix claiming the song selection was second rate. I could not disagree more. Most of the songs are wonderful selections on their own right, utilizing pure emotion. The CD begins with a surrealistic soundbyte of a New York Thanksgiving day television weathercast, which quickly builds into an energetic hill with the likes of "The Spirit" and "Free". The 3 song climax is among the best I've ever heard, and one that can't be missed. Of note is Solarstone's "Seven Cities", which literally makes the listener feel as if he/she is truly on an emotional ride. The closing two songs on the mix are a wonderful cool-down, of note is "Viola" which is one of the best late night driving songs ever.
Overall I think it's a ...investment well worth the cost.
