Music reviews of Club Nation America

Music Review: Ministry Of Sound: Club Nation America
Rating: 4 Stars

I cannot explain how much I love Ministry Of Sound. They always release the best mixes, mixed by some of the best DJ's in the world. When I purchased this CD, I was very suprised. I had heard another mix that Tall Paul had done for MOS (The Annual 2000-CD), and though that his mix would be the better of the two CD's. I was extremely suprised that I was wrong.

Being that I gave a horrible review of CD 2, which is half of what your buying, your probaly wondering why this CD received 4 stars. Johnny Vicious mix was amazing, and could have easily been released alone. The track selection is wonderfull, and it's long enough for a party. But this CD for the Johnny Vicious mix, you wont be sorry.

Johnny Vicious is well known DJ, especially in the NYC area. He has his own mix show every saturday nights on New Yorks WKTU and has residency at various clubs. Ministry of Sound wisely picked Johnny to mix this CD. The mix starts with Delerium's "Silence," which is a trance anthem. Other tracks include Aurora's version of the Duran Duran classic "Ordinary World," Sureals "You Take My Breath Away," and Johnny Vicious amazing (but bootleg) remix of Dido's "Here With Me" (which is over 10:00 long). The mix ends with Svenson & Gielen's (AKA Airscape) "Beauty Of Silence." What I love about this mix is that it starts with strong trance and ends with strong trance. There are not weak spots.

CD 2- Mixed by Tall Paul

This mix is terrible!!! Ministry of Sound has to tell Tall Paul to go in another direction with this mix because this is unlike anything else I have every heard from him. He usually starts with Disco sounding house and builds up to nice melodic trance, but this CD features neither. Instead, it features boring and bland house and trance. When purchasing this CD, I noticed that Moby's "Southside" was featured. This mix doesn't even feature Gwen Stefani. I mean I know that the Southside featuring Gwen Stefani is already a remix, but who wants to hear Moby just speaking. However, even though this mix is terrible, there are a few hot pics. Simon's "Free At Last" features words from Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "I Have A Dream Speak." Even though it is one of the highlights, It still sounds plain. I was dissapointed to find out that the Paul Van Dyk remix of the Thrillseekers "Synaesthesia" is not a vocal mix. But nevertheless, it is still breathtaking. The last highlight from this mix is Push's "Strange World." It's a pretty cool track, but the melody is very repetitive.

PS- Johnny isn't only a DJ, he's one of the hottest remixers currently on the hard house/trance scene. Check out his mixes of Veronica's "Im In Love,"* Chicane's "Don't Give Up,"** and Mary Griffin's "Perfect Moment."*** CD 1- Mixed By Johnny Vicious
