CD Reviews
More soulless circuit cheese from the Borg of house music

"Listening to Peter Rauhofer at the Roxy is like listening to the Borg spin. Sure, his flawless tehcnicality is admirable, but house music is supposed to have a soul. All technique, no feeling. You leave the club feeling tired and empty. This CD caputres that feeling well."
Finally a decent compilation

"While most compilations gear to the top 40 crowd, this one doesn't. I love the deep/dark house music that's flawlessly mixed by Rauhofer.
I only recommend this cd, if you like your House music dark. Otherwise you will not be happy with your purchase."
I like it!

"While there is a bit of filler (it is a 2cd compilation afterall), I've enjoyed this CD immensely after only several days. I might be a bit biased since I am a huge fan of Peter Rauhofer, and I was actually at the CD release party at Roxy a week or so ago. Got the CD to capture the memory of the evening. Some great tracks -- Breathe by Science Project, Safe From Harm by Narcotic Thrust, Away by Mantra, Work it to the Bone by LNR, and Rise Up by Funky Green Dogs. Great songs -- very popular in the dance clubs -- Safe From Harm was #1 on Dance Charts for Billboard the week the CD came out.Surprised that some people have given this a 1 out of 5. These must be people who are totally unfamiliar with Rauhofer and his work. For the most part, this is darker dance music with an edge and a harder beat -- not the vocal-heavy, Diva-ish stuff you hear from other DJ's. This is typical Rauhofer here -- and delivers against the expectation of what you should have for one of his CD's. Probably too dark to go mainstream -- but a very enjoyable double CD. Perfect for just cranking up on the CD player in the car on the way DT on a weekend evening to get you in the mood for a good time.Would have given it a 5 out of 5 if this was a single CD -- cutting out some of the filler. But still, there are a number of great tracks here spread out over 2 CD's. Some of the transitions are great -- and don't go on and on and on."
Let down

"My long-time partying friend said this was really good, so I bought it. What could go wrong with both Rauhofer and Roxy on the jacket? Unfortunately, as someone else said, it sounds very mid-`90s. I was expecting dark and hard, but instead I got dark and thin. This may have been groovy 6 years ago, but now it's just toss-away filler. Needs more energy -- more meat. I usually love his mixes, and I've heard P.R. live (and was marginally satisfied), but this CD compilation won't have me buying anything else with his name on it unless I listen to the full thing first. Disappointing."
THE BEST EVER !!!

"OK, ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH PETER MUSIC WILL AGREE THERE IS NO WAY TO CAPTURE ON 2 CD's WHAT'S GOING ON, ON A SATURDAY NIGHT AT ROXY. PETER'S MUSIC IS LIKE A JOURNEY.
SO, IF YOU NEVER HAD THE LUCK TO HEAR HIM LIVE THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE. I THINK THIS IS THE BEST REMIXED CD HE EVER DID. IF YOU HAVE A PARTY AT A HOUSE PUT CD 1 IN, LOWER THE LIGHTS, PUMP UP THE VOLUME AND GET READY THAT WHEN YOU ARE THOROUGH YOU WILL BE ASKING FOR MORE!I CAN GO ON BY NAMING THE BEST TRACKS FROM THIS ALBUM, BUT I RATHER WOULD LIKE FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO IT AS IT IS. FROM BEGINNING TO THE END, AND FEEL IT. ONLY THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HIS REAL TALENT. THIS IS PETER'S 101."
