"This isn't my favorite mix from Masterbeat. A lot of misses here. Simply Red starts things off right, but Gia is one of those big tracks that quickly got on my nerves and just doesn't capture my senses all that much. The combo of Widelife and Byron Stingly for track 3 is just a horrible mish mosh that retains none of the best elements of either of those powerhouse dance tracks. Finally, Cevin Fisher's gorgeous mix of Suzanne Palmer's Luv2Luv saves the day. And Vivian Green keeps the diva vocal coming, thanks to a junior Vasquez mix. Rainwater is more moody than diva, but it's still a bangin' track. More dark and progessive female vocal follows with Strict Machine and then Sanctuary. The somber mood continues with the dark trance sounds of Agnelli & Nelson, and finally, while there's a gorgeous trance mix of beautiful things available, they once again opted for the darker mix. Honestly, this compilation just doesn't have the energy or uplifting feel you'd expect from a Gay Days in Orlando mix. Perhaps it should have been retitled. Track times:



1. fake (6:17)

2. Gia (6:40)

3. I don't want u to turn me (7:00)

4. Luv 2 luv (7:37)

5. emotional rollercoaster (8:14)

6. Rainwater (7:37)

7. Strict machine (9:33)

8. Sanctuary (8:27)

9. Holding on to nothing (9:49)

10. Beautiful things (8:31)"

"I found the CD to be Very Good. The following cuts provokes me to want to get out on the dance floor to dance, #2,#4,& Numbers 5-10. I found cuts #1&3 rather boring. Those cuts, the music doesn't make me want to move. If the music doesn't move me or provoke me to want to move, I won't listen to it. I am very passionate about music and I like to listen to music that touches my soul and make me want to move. Especially music I want to listen to when I go to the club and when I am at home. Despite those two cuts, I found that the CD was overall a very good buy. I would reccommend it to anyone."
