Customer Reviews:

series is running thin--not enough classics that desperately need CD releases.......2007-06-16

Personally, I was thrilled to have a couple of 12" versions on CD at last--Walk Right Now by the Jacksons, Who's Zoomin Who by Aretha and the 12" mix of System of Survival by Earth Wind & Fire. FINALLY these tracks are on CD! There were also some other surprises like the long version of Galaxy by War and the long version of Roy Ayers' Running Away. But there were also way too many tracks that are not all that hard to get on CD, like Sister Sledge, A Taste of Honey, and Chic. With so many 80s classics still not on CD, these tracks seem like a big waste of space. The inclusion of a bunch of Bobby O productions is cool, but again, most of these were already released on official Bobby O compilations. The only other bittersweet surprise here was the version of The Runner by Three Degrees. Liebrand admits on his site that he still hasn't found the full 8:10 12" version, but that this was a really good mix too. It definitely retains the sound of the original Giorgio Moroder disco production, but it would still be great to get the actual 12" version on CD at last.

Let's just hope volume 5 taps into the huge number of more mainstream 80s hits that show up on numerous compilations in their single edits but never in their 12" remix versions, because those classic 12" mixes still desperately need to be preserved on CD, and for the price of a 4 CD set like this, it's just got to pay off.

Sound is Amazing. .......2007-06-12

Wow! The sound is incredible. The songs on disc one never sounded so good. Every track is a winner minus track 10. Cd 2 is kind of boring, but I do like "Walk Right Now" by the Jacksons. Cd 3 has 2 big hits from Bobby O and the first single by the Pet Shop Boys. Cd 4 Trommeltanz (Din Da Da) 12" Master and also the Dub Version by George Kranz. If you want to hear these old songs sound new again, Buy this collection.
My Favorites are
1) Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste of Honey
2) They Only Come Out at Night by Peter Brown
3) Trommeltanz (Din Da Da) by George Kranz
4) Ai No Corrida by Quincy Jones
5) She Has a Way by Bobby O
6) Galaxy by War
7) Billy Jean by Michael Jackson
8) Groove Line by Heatwave
9) Walk Right Now by the Jacksons
10) Le Freak, Spank, Stay the Night and White Horse.
I own all 4 volumes of Grand 12-inches, but there are at least 10 songs in this collection I didn't like. However, I would still buy this for the sound quality alone.

Customer Reviews:

Superb for the collector and DJ alike.......2007-03-09

The quality of these CDs are really impressive. Its good to have really good quality 12" mixes of these tracks. I DJ a lot myself and this and the others in the series are invaluable.

Finally..........2007-01-10

along came the Grand 12 series which is a must for those who enjoyed dance classics of the '80's, '90's and beyond. This series definitely closed the gap of my "must have" hard to find music list.

THIS IS THE GREATEST 12" DANCE COLLECTIONCOLLECTION.......2006-10-17

Being DJ myself years back. I find this collection of the 12" versions one of the best collections I've seen in many years. The quality of the sound was great plus the selections of songs were just great. I was so impress with volume one that I have bought volumes 2 and 3. Thank you Mr. Liebrand for bringing these collections they are great.

no radio edits here!.......2006-08-16

For crying out loud, now there is positively no excuse for continued complaints from dance disco buffs about shortened material music available on CD compilations. With continued support to dream makers who put this package together we can expect the best of dance music yet to come. The first volume is killer stuff and sounds OH so good.

The search is over, WOW!!!.......2006-06-14

One of the best collections ever! Thank you Mr. Liebrand for taking the time to put all of this wonderful songs together. Especially for including Patrick Cowley's remix of "I feel love", Moroder's disco-trance masterpiece. Patrick Cowley was able to perfect perfection by adding the high energy of his keyboards to the hypnotic rhythm creating the crowning jewel of all dance floors around the world! All the other songs are great, but I would have pay the money just for that one alone. Long life for all of them whom keep on bringing back those treasures from the past!!!

Customer Reviews:

Good compilation.......2007-01-15

The selections are good. My CD is the British release and the sound quality is very good!

WHAAAT? No KISS???.......2007-01-02

I won't even bother buying this CD since it does not include one song from the popular and terrific MTV Unplugged session with KISS!

Never Received It.......2006-11-06

I never received this item and when I go to "My Account" it is impossible to find out whAT HAPPENED. NEXT QUESTION: AM I HAPPY?

Selection is good, quality is very bad!.......2004-09-23

The recording and mastering of this album is so bad that I get an headache if I listen to it with an headphone. I would recommended Vol. 2 though, everything is perfect in that album.

disappointing.......2004-07-15

Granted, there are some good songs on there, but nothing can compare to the unplugged sessions that were done by Nirvana and Alice In Chains, those two are undoubtedly the two best. If you want some amazing unplugged work, invest in those two instead, I gauruntee that you will not be disappointed.

Customer Reviews:

Acoustic hits you can watch.......2005-05-31

When I saw this disc I thought "Another "Best of Unplugged? Let's see what left-overs were included here".
I was surprised to see that almost all the songs were hits by these artists since the earlier Best Of's included songs I had never heard before.

17 tracks (10 of which were previously unreleased) in their acoustic versions where the standouts are:
Sting - Message in a bottle
REM - It's the end of the world as we know it....
Alanis Morrissette - Hand over feet
Sheryl Crow - Leaving Las Vegas
Kiss - Sure know something
The cure - Boys don't cry
Live - I alone

THe bonus here is that a DVD with the 17 performances is included which makes this a must have for all Mtv Unplugged lovers out there.

Very enjoyable and I highly recommend to all music lovers.

Customer Reviews:

Awesome . . . .......2007-06-11

a must for the Disco/House lovers. Brings back memories of U.S. Studio/The Warehouse: 206 South Jefferson, Chicago!!!

Good, but not as good as Vol 1 and 2.......2007-03-09

I really like this series of CDs from Ben Liebrand. They are in the whole superb. However, i didnt feel that this release was as good as the previous two. Some tracks, as has been said in other reviews, you can easily pick up elsewhere. Just a note, a lot of the tracks on here are Ben's Favourites so we cant really complain. Overall, I would give it 4 and a half stars, so you'll have to make do with 5!!

The third volume with rare finds & hope it continues!.......2007-02-01

I never thought that I could find some songs in their full-length glories again. I'm so glad that there are still people who painstakingly search for music that are thought to be gone forever and if they do exist, they're now considered as gems. I've no regrets that I have the 3 volumes and I'm even more excited for future releases. I can hardly wait for the next volume.

2 rare Giorgio Moroder productions on CD, and SO much more!.......2006-08-16

12" dance collectors rejoice. Ben Liebrand has assembled a 3rd volume loaded with full length mixes, tediously mastered (some from vinyl because he couldn't find the original masters, but you really can't tell). Personally, 2 songs that make it extremely worth the price for this 4 disc set for me are the Giorgio Moroder productions: Suzi Lane, and the 12" version of Janis Ian from the Foxes soundtrack. There are also NUMEROUS hard to get 12" versions finally here on CD. Still so many more elusive mixes for Liebrand to include on future volumes, and I hope he'll take note of the request list on his website.

Notes and nitpicks are below:

CD 1

1 Robert Palmer You're in my System (Extended Album Mix) 06:00 (very rare on CD!)
2 André Cymone - The Dance Electric 05:35
3 Chas Jankel - Glad To Know You 06:37
4 Suzi Lane - Harmony 06:59 (want the ENTIRE moroder produced album on CD, but this is a start!)
5 Chaplin Band- Madmen's Discoteque 06:30
6 Janis Ian-Fly Too High 06:51 (awesome. Didn't even know there was a 12" version of this track which has only appeared on vinyl in its SHORT version!)
7 Rah Band - Slide 06:39
8 The Real Thing-Can You Feel The Force 07:39
9 Anita Ward - Ring My Bell 08:12
10 Boys Town Gang- Cruisin' The Streets 13:14 (wow. The full length LP side)

CD 2

1 Positive Force - We Got The Funk 04:31
2 Lakeside - Fantastic Voyage 06:12
3 Cheryl Lynn - Shake It Up Tonight 05:42
4 Colonel Abrams - I'm Not Gonne Let You 06:47 (too common on CD. Space could have been used for another rarity)
5 Crown Heights Affair -You Gave Me Love 05:52
6 Rose Royce - R.R. Express 12:01
7 Jerry Knight - Overnight Sensation 06:30
8 M.F.S.B.- Love Is The Message 11:33
9 Edwin Starr - Contact 07:15
10 Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland 08:16 (nice 12" rarity on CD)

CD 3

1 The Reddings - The Awakening Pt1+2 03:32
2 Earth,Wind & Fire - fantasy (Blaze shelter dj mix) 08:57 (this is a very indulgent version, somewhat remixed and way too long)
3 Trussel - Love Injection 07:53
4 Gene Chandler - get down 08:18 (HOT to have this 12" on CD!)
5 Billy Ocean - Are You Ready 06:46 (HUH? This song barely cracked the Billboard dance charts, and there are so many other Billy songs that were bigger)
6 Dynasty - I don't wanna be a freak 07:23
7 Herbie Hancock - Tell Everybody 07:50
8 Shalamar - Right In The Socket 06:42
9 Third World - Now That We've Found Love 08:16 (wow. This version is even longer than the 12" version I have)
10 The Commodores - Brickhouse (live) 10:26 (WHY??? A live version of an already overplayed song that can be found in its full length studio version on numerous CDs??? 10 wasted minutes of CD space)

CD 4

1 Imagination - Body Talk 06:00
2 Fern Kinney - Groove Me (long version) 08:54
3 One Way with Al Hudson - You Can Do It 07:03
4 David Bowie - Let's Dance 07:39 (another waste of space. There really isn't a 12" version of this song. This is the full length album version which is easily obtainable on Bowie's CD)
5 Fox The Fox - Precious Little Diamond 07:27
6 Fun Fun-Happy Station (original 12") 07:16
7 Tavares - Heaven (Irresistable Angel Mix) 08:35 (2 minutes longer than the original version, but this is DRASTICALLY remixed. It even includes some obnoxious astronaut voice overs at the beginning)
8 Liaison Dangereuses - Los Ninos del Parque 05:01
9 Talk Talk-It's a Shame 07:01 (this is the overseas 12" version. The US mix (which I prefer) runs 6:22)
10 Faithless - Salva Mea (Epic Mix) 11:52 (oddly out of place, considering this volume doesn't include ANY other songs from the 1990s. But still a goodie)

Served up cool by the beach!.......2007-01-05

Volume #4 was my first introduction to the Cafe Del Mar series. While I've gradually acquired other titles in this line I have to say that Its the one that best soothes my frayed and tired nerves at the end of the day. Some tunes will literally have you crying out, "Take me away"!.... Ahhhhh... A nice cafe by the beach with some cold ones to sip while feeling the breeze and enjoying a glorious sunset. That in a nutshell keeps me coming back to this release.

Again, this is the best of the collection.......2005-10-06

I normally wouldn't submit a review just to say "I totally agree with everything that he just said". Except in this case. I really enjoy the Cafe Del Mar collection even though many complain that the series is overproduced, too commercial, and generally not the best chill. This is not the time to seek to debunk those reviews. I just finished my collection of volumes 1-9 and wholeheartedly agree that this is the best of all. Volumes 1-2 have some good tracks, but the track flow lacks continuity in tempo and vibe. Volume 3 is closer but it is only in Volume 4 that Jose Padilla gets the full-on chill groove perfectly. Later cds are hit or miss (Volume 9 is back on track!). My two cents.

The Best in the entire collection.......2004-12-17

Cafe Del Mar 4 (Volumen Cuatro) is by far my favorite. I have all the volumes to date, from 1 to 11, but was missing Volume 4, which I just picked up. I LOVE this CD!! Don't get me wrong, all the other Cafe Del Mar volumes are fair to good, with maybe 1 or 2 or 3 very good tracks on each of them. Despite these gems, most of the newer volumes (especially from Vol. 9 onward) tend to sound monotous--you know, the same beat, the same rhythm, the same "sound". But in Volume 4, every song has something new, different, and exciting to offer--and I just can't say that that is true with the other volumes. Volume 4 is the best ecclectic fusion of electronica, jazz, midtempo, and lounge of the bunch. Very cosmo!

A Pearl of the Collection.......2004-09-29

'Cafe Del Mar 4' is one of the most melodic additions to the wonderful series which has come to dominate and perhaps even define the downtempo movement in modern popular music culture. This particular compilation combines a varied range of jazz-symphonic excellence with some edgier rhythms, most suitably espoused by Wasis Diop's No Sant featuring vocals by Lena Fiagbe. The breathtaking and jazzy culmination of this album is Stan Getz's Street Tattoo. The deft blending of natural sounds, such as crickets in the wild and a child's voice in Grillos by Paco Fernandes is simply inspired. Opening the album is the sensuous track Que Bonito by Jose Padilla, a electronic fusion of cymbalon, Spanish guitar, xylophone and bells in an altogether more uptempo arrangement. The energy of this track ordinarily would rule it out of the donwtempo genre, but juxtaposed with Talvin Singh's remix of John Martyn's Sunshines Better, it is a welcome compliment and in fact emphasizes the eclectic nature of this superlative member of the Café Del Mar family.

Not the best CD of all the volumes.......2003-08-01

Well, this volume of Cafe Del Mar is pretty bad, the only good songs are:
Jose Padilla - Que Bonito
John Martyn - Sunshines Better
Chicane - Offshore (Ambient Mix)
Karen Ramirez - Troubled Girl (Spanish Version)
If you can only afford one CD, I will recommend "Cafe Del Mar Volume 9 or Volume 8", but not this one.

Awesome . . . .......2007-06-11

a must for the Disco/House lovers. Brings back memories of U.S. Studio/The Warehouse: 206 South Jefferson, Chicago!!!

Awesome!.......2006-06-25

These songs bring back so many memories. They are all original versions and full length. There were songs that I knew but didn't know the title. I am so happy to own it.

A few good songs.......2006-05-16

There are simply too many mediocre songs in this collection. It seems to be an error in judgement on the compiler's part. They're not underground classics, either - just vaguely experimental disco songs. They often seem pedestrian, with poor structure. There's also a lot of early synth pop in here - rather mechanical German-sounding disco. When you come across a good song, like BBQ's 'On the Beat', you realise how disposable much of the rest of the material is.

The quality of the transfers is very high, there's no doubt about it. And to a certain extent it is a fun collection. But there's probably too much forgettable material here. Would it really be any great loss if we didn't have Macho's 'I'm a Man'? I haven't heard the first volume, and there seems to be more classics on that ('Get Down Saturday Night', 'Superfreak' and so on). Part of the problem may be its European origins - they often prefer inorganic sounding dance music, more urban-industrial stuff.

There's one more problem - I think. I might be wrong about this, but when the CD was mastered, the volume seems pitched a bit low. I noticed this one other time with a CD from the Netherlands - it's a bit irritating to have to turn it up. If you listen to Soul Jazz's CDs you realise how good a CD can be. Overall I'm tempted to say skip this. There are better disco and Old School collections out there - I'm looking forward to hearing Soul Jazz's "A Tom Moulton Mix."

At last.......2006-03-15

I can hardly believe that, at last, I can have this awesome 12" compilation; these are song I grew with and, most of them I could not bought them in vinyl back in the 80's. You must buy it.

Grand indeed,superb sound quality........2006-03-08

An amazing collection of tracks with blistering sound quality.My 1500 watts 8 speakers with dual 15" sub-woofers stereo multi-channel system is just kicking..my brick walls are not happy with the vibration but iam not easing the pressure.

Customer Reviews:

ANTHONY HAS DONE IT AGAIN.......2007-04-02

I was greatly impressed by Anthony's first CD album and said so in an Amazon review. This CD emerged late in 2006 and, while it has sold well in Australia, it has not done nearly as well as the earlier album. That's a pity because this is a more interesting and more mature work. It has been composed largely by Anthony and the melodies, lyrics and sound textures are always impressively professional. Anthony, a pop singer if ever there was one, even ventures towards some rock textures in some of these songs, "Addicted to You" for example, and he gets away with it. Anthony's voice is as rich and strong as always. The CD is beautifully presented with excellent photography and art work. 2006's AUSTRALIAN IDOL winner, Damien Leith, is like Anthony in many ways and will give Anthony a run for his money on the Australian charts. But that is good, both for the artists and for the industry. So long as Australia has artists of this calibre producing material of such quality and interest we are fortunate. Also, so long as AUSTRALIAN IDOL gives a boost to artists such as Damien and Anthony long may the show prosper.

Amazing.......2007-03-06

This is a amazing CD. The songs are some of the best pop rock I've ever come across. Anthony has a outstanding voice. He is better than most singers in the business right now. He has a very strong and powerful voice. This is a superb CD.

The stand out tracks are: If Only, There's Always Time, Almost, Want You To See, Standed, and Perfect Mistake.

Chillout Defined!!.......2006-10-23

The CD - Great album sleve, design and song arrangement. The Afterlife has perfected chillout to its max........strecthing the limits to chord changes, electronic downtempo beats and vocals. Believe me when I say that it took me forever to find and buy this CD. It's a gem!

The music - Great drum and electronic beats. Check out "Dub in ya Mind" and "Blue Bar" on CD01. Rest of the songs are just as good.......which features great female vocals and remixes. I just don't know how to put it - this music is like nothing I've ever heard before - very cool, relaxing and clean. It's almost angelic if you ask me. Please do the chillout/ ambient genre a favour by buying this CD asap!

To sum (CD01)- The use of female vocals are incredible!! Great well composed/arranged beats!! The ultimate in Chillout!!

CD02 pretty much features the same songs but remixed differently. Well, the downside of this whole album would be CD02. It has more uptempo chillout beats which one can find repetitive at times.

To sum (CD02) - Great remixes by Chris Co Co and Arithunda. Great uptempo chill with blissful beats. Not a good companion to CD01 but great sampler.

The Artist - Well, what can I say: The Afterlife rules! Their music is not only inspiring but well put together. Very cool and classy. If you are still unfamiliar with the group - just let me say that I've seen the artist appear in most chillout compilations (mostly in the Ministry of Sound chillout and Cafe Del Mar CD series). This should pretty much tell you how well recieved the Afterlife is. If you are unable to get this album (which is close to impossible), try getting the artist's other albums which are the "Afterlife Lounge", "Speck of Gold" and "Journey" - which are all masterpieces!!

CD good for - 1)Studying, 2)Chilling alone, 3)Chilling with your "lover", 4)Before bed, 5)Writing, 7)Wind and Cheese parties and, 6)Just about anything cool and relaxing!!

OK E-Nuff said - "The Afterlife is the dub master of chill!!"

Where have you been all my life!.......2006-07-01

WOW! This is incredible! The absolute ultimate chill-out/down-tempo album.
This music will get in the mood fast.

One of my favorite albums.......2005-12-06

This review is more just a backing up of someone before who said that they have friends who appreciate music from a wide range of genres asking for copies of the CD. I too play this when people are around and get the same reaction, whehter it's from someone who likes Mushroomhead and all types of hard metal to another who loves Damien Rice and other more acoustic acts. While the people that have asked for this album to be passed on to them are musically open-minded, they are still not usually the type of people you'd expect to listen to chilled music such as Afterlife. Almost every song on the album is great for relaxing to more sophisticated, mature, and smooth sounds. There is nothing abrubt to the album and it is a great addition to any musically intelligent collection.

Just doesn't do it...........2004-09-22

I'm a big Stephane Pompougnac fan, and when I started looking around some of amazon's recommended artists, I came across a whole article on lounge/after hours music, with this CD at the top of its list, so it looked promising. I tried it and found the loops are waaaaay too repetitive, and there is no musical skill here at all; everything is rhythm. I will say disc 2 is better than disc 1. If you sample this album and don't like it much either, try Hotel Costes 4 and 5 for smooth, cool European tones.

Why isn't there more music like this???.......2004-08-26

Yes, it was an adventure, in itself, just to find this!

My Partner suprised me with a copy, just yesterday, and even though I haven't fully given it the time I know I will, it has already intoxicated me, in a way, very few CD's, in their entirety, rarerly succeed!

All I have read, has NOT been hyped words, but the true feelings inspired by AfterLife. And "feeling" is the word that these songs send off, especially vocally, which this genre of music always seems to benefit from.
