good dance compilation........2005-10-27

this cd makes you wanna dance.if you're into the early 90's dance scene, you'll love this cd. you should get it.my best songs are "this is how you do it", "set u free",another night is my favorite by "the real mccoy". it's a lot of good songs on there.

Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance the night away!!!!.......2004-04-12

Just look at the songlisting on here! There's no way that any dance lover could ever decide to pass this disc up!

Every song rocks the house to it's foundations! Some sound very dated but still very fun to dance to!

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.

Love It!!.......2002-05-20

Total party!.......2001-05-19

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!

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.

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.

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. :(((

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.

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!

Nostalgic Frequencies...........2006-01-08

I originally bought this as a cassette in 93. Back then I loved every moment of the cd, in retrospect, most of Zoo Rave really doesnt stand up vs. the production of today, but still holds its place in history, for me at least. A time where Breaks, House, D'N'B and trance all kind of existed in one song together.

I recently purchased the cd and had quite a laugh listening to some of the songs, but was also surprised to find that my favorite track Xenon - Hellfire, was produced by Richie Hawtin and John Aquivava, two of my favorite producers to this day.

Overall if you were one of the lucky people to enjoy the rave scene early, when there WAS more of an underground thing, you will not necesarily remember these songs in particular, but the feelings they inspired instead.

Overall a good listen if you're into the oldskool.

Absolutely the best compilation techno/dance CD........1999-08-23

I purchased this CD a few years ago and I still find myself dancing to the beats. This is an excellent party CD or just to get you in the mood to go out and party. Anyone who likes to dance or party must have this CD in his or her collection. As a matter of fact I was unaware that Zoo Rave 2 had been released. Without hesitation I purchased it today!!!

Incredibly Danceable.......1999-08-21

If anyone can tell me where I can get other albums by any of these groups, let me know! This music blows my mind. A good test for brain death might be to play this CD and measure for movement in the body, because if you're alive, you will move to this music.

This Cd is the greatest if you techno! Wow!.......1999-02-06

My sister got this CD as a gift. She really liked it and told me I had to hear it. Wow! It is really great; this music was made to dance to. Between the two of us, we might wear out the CD. I have been looking for it for a while, and I am very pleased to have found it here.

Basic bloops and beeps, but a lot of fun.......2005-07-22

It is full of simple looped techno beats but I always find one really interesting track that stands out in my purchases. In this case, my favorite is "Mystery Cafe", which samples dialog from a noir movie with basic techno drumbeats and some keyboards, kinda as if the soundtrack to Casablanca was remixed by Moby. This track reminds me of work being done by The Grid at the same time. I always wanted to try and build it as a test of how good I was with samples...I figured I could put something similar together in a few hours. I never did, but I still enjoy this collection. So, yeah, if you like old Moby, you'll like this.

Perfecto.......2002-03-05

First of all, this album is from 1993, so late 90's is impossible. A great album packed with a variety of good tunes! Good early Techno. Not too Trance, not too Rave, just good middle of the way techno. The first track is hot! A good start to this up and down ride! A roller coaster of music that flows smooth from start to finish! A must have for the TRUE techno fanatic! I would also highly suggest "Happy Rave '95" and "Rave til Dawn"

Worth seeking out.......2001-02-09

While the tunes here are all from the mid to late 1990's, they were cutting-edge in nearly any sense of that term. In the late 1990's, Trance and related techno styles wer all the rage at "RAVES" and all-night clubs. But while the music was becoming more popular, it was also losing its edge for the most part, as global entertainment conglomerates stripped it of its edginess and energy, preferring instead radio-friendly pap and popish vocal stylings.

This set is the wild, untamed, raw stuff; straight from the digital music underground, but crafted as well as any high dollar record company's output.

Highly recommended. Even thought the 1990's are history, this CD still sounds fresh.

Typical dance techno -- not bad, not great.......2001-01-22

This disc was published by BMG records and all tracks were produced by the artists specifically for this album, so don't think you're getting the best and the brightest techno artists on here. The tracks are all high-energy, hgh BPM, dance-style techno with pretty typical sampling, mixing and beats. There's nothing very innovative on the disc, but nothing that's offensive or poorly done, either. A solid 3-star collection of early-90's-style techno tracks.

Excellant techno dance!.......1999-03-18

I have had this cd for about 4 years and if you are looking for good techno sound, this is the 1 and II Rave for u!

Album Description

Rave On Snow Volume 15 is compiled by 3 DJs, who let all their know-how and musical energy flow into this quintessential collection of contemporary minimal tech house and techno. Those responsible for this opus are none other than Gabriel Ananda, Pascal Feos and Domenic D'Agnelli!
Based on the top winter event, Rave On Snow in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria, this is the 15th time the Alps have been rocked. The combination of finest electronic music in all variations, an excellent line up of international DJs and live acts in an incredible snow-covered environment makes Rave On Snow a unique experience which luckily repeats itself on a yearly basis.

No words for electronic dance this good.......2007-06-29

Damn, Dr. Trance is right again... now I'm probably going to have to get Rave on Snow 14 too!

Another perfect entry in the Rave on Snow mix series........2007-05-22

This minimal and tech mix series that's now out once a year in coordination with the Rave on Snow winter sports festival in Europe. Stellar DJ's, snow boards, and hot tech house -- really wish I could attend these!! While number 14 had 4 DJ's splitting the two discs, we get all of Gabriel Ananda for disc 1 and Domenic D'Agnelli and Pascal Feos return for Disc 2. The set up behind what made 14 so astouding is back, as it's solid tracks of melodic minimal and tech house, never straying too hard into full out techno territory, and never sounding too housey, with just a smidgen of vocals thrown in here and there. Excellent line-up of tracks through both discs, with no stale spots.

What I also love about these last two releases is that they pick classy tracks which are not necessarily in the popular eye, and unlike some high profile electronic tracks, do not appear on 5 other comps or mixes out this year. Lots of obscure goodies found in both 14 and now 15, that won't be found anywhere else.

Another top notch mix from Pascal Feos's label. I also highly recommend picking up no. 14 and Pascal's artist CD, Synaptic.

What a Gem..........2007-06-09

If you are into this genre of music you will really enjoy this CD. The songs I like the most are the ones that are the transitional type going from EBM, and New Beat to Rave.

Lots of useless tracks, but the good ones make up for it.

Unbelievable!.......2007-04-27

I been DJing for 13 years. I have over 35,000 records. Hard to believe but this CD is THE BEST compilation EVER released for old school style breakbeat "techno" (i hate that word). Every track on here is fire (except for the Smart E's)! I still rock this CD to get me amped almost 15 years after I first got it. All the tracks on here were rocked at all the early-mid 90s "raves" (i hate that word). If you're a DJ who uses Serato this CD is a must-have. I'd pay several hundred dollars to get all these classic joints on vinyl. Buy it. Rrr-Rrr-Rrr-Rrr-Roll the beats...

still sik after all these years.......2005-02-24

I have to agree with most of the other folks here, this is a fantastic disc... and I also have to agree that the primary reason are the Acen tracks. Out of all of the different mixes that came out, these versions of "Trip II the Moon" and "Close Your Eyes" are still my favorites (and they are hard to find anywhere else), and they still kick SIK! and make me wanna jump up! which is pretty hard to do since I'm a jaded old-timer now. :)

I bought this five disc box-set ("Best of Techno") back in the day, but Volume 3 (this one) is my favorite one. Each disc was put out by Profile between 1991 and 1994 and many of the tracks are prerelease or rarer mixes, so it's a great collection.

But beyond the Acen tracks there are several great tracks here. The N.R.G. track, "I Need Your Love" has the famous Korgis sample from their 1979 pop track "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime". "I'm So High" by Eden Transmission takes me right back to wondering if that whispering voice was in MY head. :) Yes, there's that semi-famous Sesame's Treet song... but that one's a bit too "candy-raver" for me. But hey, an early Joey Beltram track, what more do you want? This disc is worth the money. Man, this disc is worth the money just for the two Acen tracks, seriously.

This compilation truly represents a high-water-mark from the dawn of breakbeat techno and many (if not most) of the tracks will still impress people today. If you're a breakbeat fan, buy it used (since I think they are out of print)... and it'll be the best $5 you'll spend on music this year, or any year.

This is a MUST HAVE compilation........2002-05-16

This cd has an excellent variety of "early" rave and techno classics... including the infamous "Trip II the Moon" and "Close Your Eyes" (both by Acen.) These two tracks are worth the entire recording alone (and are rare as noted earlier.) They (esp. Trip II the Moon) were ahead of their time, and friends have a hard time believing they were made in 1993. The sounds presented on this compilation (for the most part) were cutting edge (and still are as they are very unique and have set the standard the even current techno tries to adhere to.) There are many lush styles that did not become "main stream" (in the Techno scene) until much later... i.e. breakbeat. There are even styles that have yet to be emulated, therefore making this CD sound just as modern (perhaps even more so) than most techno (and sub genres) of today, making this a very unique compilation. BUY THIS NOW!!!!

Hit and Miss Dance Classix.......1999-12-31

You should get this cd for "Trip II the Moon" and "Close Your Eyes" because they are amazing trax and are very hard to find. I remember the first time i heard "close your eyes." they are 2 classic gems from the early 90s by Acen. Other highlights include the infamous "sesame street techno song"--"Sesame's Treet" and other early hardcore anthems.

GREAT COMPILATION BUY IT.......1999-09-04

This was one of the first tapes i bought in '93 and i still lsiten to it... With all rave classics like Acen Close your Eyes, and Trip 2 the Moon and other outstanding tracks on this album i highly reccommend it to anyone!!!

Techno Fun.......2000-06-25

This CD contains a variety of old favorites redone as tech tracks. Much like the "kiddie techno" trend in the past few years, this CD draws on well-known themes, such as Star Trek, and makes them all kinds of fun and perfect for listening to while doing some late-night coding and drinking of Jolt Cola.
