"It seems the average quality of mainstream dance has gone up. That, or Bad Boy Joe just knows what the heck he's doing. Either way this mix blows #1 out of the water!
It's darker, harder, and nastier than the first. It has a more clubby feel than the europopness of the first, as well.
One track in particular seemed almost devilish in it's chipperness. Carolina Marquez - The Killer's Song features the infamous dirge whistled by Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill V.1. Not only is it delivered over a fiercely shady dance beat, but Carolina's vocals and accent are seedy at best, and it makes me shiver to think about just how much I love the song.
Another standout track is The Lovefreekz. The song is pounding, high energy, and very...positive. The lighter happier side of dark dance. I loved the song on Ultra Dance 6, and I love it here.
All around, this compilation kicks boot-ay! The same boot-ay you'll be shaking after you buy it!"
GREAT MIX

"When I bouth this CD I was under the impression that it was going to be techno. When did techno become more about lyrics than just really sweet beats and feelings? I find it hard to focus on the music when it is being drowned out by lyrics through the whole track. If you want to listen to good beats and rythems, this CD is not for you. On the other hand, if you're wating to listen to some woman's voice overtake the music, then this is the perfect CD for you."
Do Not Hesitate, Just Buy!!!!!!!!

"I gave this a five star because every song is a bonified hit on the dance floor, especially if you love to dance. I also have volume 1 which compliments volume 2. Either way you will not be disappointed. CT"
Just because you can....

"Listening to this mix of "All This Time" reminds me of the old days with the trusty AM radio trying to make out a tune from a distant station with atmospheric interferences.
There are all kinds of reasons to remix songs, but generally you'd think the aim would be to improve them somehow. The incoherent racket inserted into these selections has done nothing but make them all but impossible to endure. I guess it shows that just because you can mix doesn't mean you should. And just because you do doesn't mean you have the talent to do so successfully.
This CD gives its proud owner not the chore of choosing which selection is best, but which one is least lousy. This CD stinks to high heaven."
