"I first heard of DJ DADO on a trance compilation and really liked the song "Revenge" and I was skeptical about buying this cd thinking that this was his only good song, but when I popped this cd into my stereo I was totally surprised all the songs are great a couple are mediocre but still a good cd. The music is melodic and has an ambient feeling to them, but yet it's not commercial. My favorite songs are "Revenge", "Hour By Hou"r, "Dreaming", and "I'm In Love". It hasnt left my cd player for a week now. Fans of Robert Miles will like this album. Anybody who likes good electronic music will like DJ DADO."

"I recently popped in this cd into my stereo because I haven't listened to it in over a year. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed listening to this cd. I first fell in love with DJ Dado with his version of the X-Files theme on the first "Pure Moods" cd. When I found this cd in the used bins, I immediately picked it up. I couldn't help but hear the similiarities of DJ Dado's music with Robert Miles (particularly with his music from "Dreamland"). DJ Dado's music had a dream-like, ethereal, trance-like sound that is like of Robert Miles' first album. DJ Dado's choices in using female vocalists is outstanding. A couple of them reminded me a bit like the ones that Robert Miles used as well as longtime favorite Jan Johnston. Now while I thought that "Hour By Hour" and "more Than a Woman" was pretty mediocre, the album is filled with mostly outstanding tracks like "Dreaming", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Give Me Love", "Coming Back", and "I'm In Love". Those songs in particular are my personal favorites. The vocals are really tight and the trance beats are very Robert Mileseque. "Desire" in some ways reminded me of Enigma. I could almost hear it on an Enigma album with its gentle female vocals and dreamlike , new age melodies. Now that I have listened to DJ Dado's greatest hits, I can't help but wonder where is he today and if his fans can expect another album from him."
Soooooothing

"I am eagerly awaiting his next release. This CD may get off to a bit of a slow start but by the time it gets rolling after the first track(second if you've heard enough of the X-Files theme like I have)your in a different state. You can't help but move to Hour by Hour and then replay it a few times. His take on two of my faves(Desire, think Janet Jackson That's the Way Love Goes, and more than a woman, beegees are fab. I'd have a hard time believing anyone would be less than thrilled with this album."
