Each
track has a very different feel to it, i'm sure everyone will like
at least one track on the album.
As
you move through you get a mix of dance, R&B, chillout, classical
and even a little big band from Glen Miller!
I love
the opening track, Jump Up, for so many reasons, mainly the
amount of different sounds dropped in through the track along with
a nice Flat Eric style riff through it.
Then,
as DJ Chix himself admits a Kylie sounding track, Curo (Like
Kylie's Confide In me). Those vocal tones actually come from his
wife Keren and there are some great lyrics and vocals from MC Rocka
G in this track and throughout the album.
Soca
Funk is a Latin American style track bringing back that Flat
Eric feel on the bass with great vocals.
Planets
brings us back to dance, this is
one of my favorite tracks on the album. I love the sample that sounds
like a cross between an 80's video game and that tune from Catchphrase!
Brassic
Bass is where the album gets classical with a fantastic intro
on the cello taken from the Russian Sailor's Dance by Gliere. Non
Stop Body Rock has some great rapping mixed with a great flute
solo.
A track
I never expected to hear covered was Glen Miller's Pennsylvania
6-5000, but I think DJ Chix pulls it off making it a swingy feel
good tune.
The
last two tracks are perfect for closing an album. 4 Minute Chemical
would not be out of place in the middle of the mix on Radio 1, it's
every bit as good as the commercial dance tracks being played at
the moment.
The
final track 15/02/04 is very chilling played on a slightly
out of tune old piano, the type you expect to find in a church hall.
I later found out it was written for Kerren to walk down the aisle
to on their wedding day, hence the name of the track.
I can't
help but sit and think quietly to myself whilst listening to this
track, it's perfect for relaxing and a wonderful way to finish the
album.
Overall
I just can't find a fault with it, DJ Chix has clearly put much
time and effort into this and has brought together some great musicians
and singers. Everything down to the cd design has been well thought
of.
It
sits up as well as any other dance album I have been playing at
the moment and is staying in my collection and in the car.
I'm
already looking forward to the next one, come on Chix get mixing!.....
