Brilliant December 31, 2008 A. Delecia (London) Brilliant album. I bought the first and loved it, so bought this too. Excellent album, though not quite as good as the first, but still chock-a-block with dance floor tunes. If you've not got the first one, buy it and then get this one too!
its done well December 26, 2008 S. Cutler (london uk) its just done really well only thing that lets it down is the mixing is not the greatest,does anyone know what happened to real DJ's mixing the MOS labels? the likes of petes tong judge jules danny rampling? Its a blast though take a listen it will take you back to when you were driving round in your mates RS Turbo trying to look cool with acne!
Bass aint pumpin' December 20, 2008 Mr. David Halliday (Ilkeston Derbyshire United Kingdom) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Ad for this looks great & whets the appetite for some killer tracks. In fairness there are some true classics on these 3 discs such as Robert Miles haunting piano led 'children', New Orders doom laden electro 'Blue Monday', the Prodigy still sound edgy & Daft punk's hypnotic "around the world'continues to weave a spell. There is certainly a fair few genuine anthems here for sure but 3 discs? 'fraid not. Some tracks have not aged well, such as Guru Josh's 'Infinity' or Blue boy's 'remember me', while others are quite frankly as rubbish now as when they were 1st released, the MAW, N'joi & Bel amour, to name just a few, were naff and no amount of time is going to change that. It's great to revisit some classic anthems and here the likes of voodoo ray, Tori Amos & Leftfield are a pleasure to return to but there is just way too much z-list material here for this to be of any value. You will find yourself hitting the skip button too often. A single disc release packed with true classics would have been great but there is just far too much filler & not enough killer to make this worth bothering with.
Wow... December 16, 2008 Mr. L. Fountain (Halifax, UK) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Its such a fantastic CD, didn't think much at first, but when I actually bought the CD it was well worth it. Loads of classics to keep you on your toes, and some I had never heard before that really caught my attention. Well worth buyin!
Truly brilliant selection November 17, 2008 DC (reigate) 62 out of 64 found this review helpful
Yes yes, Ministry of Sound put out plenty of albums, particularly classic ones, and seem to get plenty of flack in the reviews (!), but honestly this is brilliant. I was given Anthems I for Christmas last year, and that was pretty good, but this follow up is even better. Mostly because it digs out some of the brilliant but not often seen tracks like DReam, S Express, New Order, Orbital and Billie Ray Martin. Discs 2 and 3 seem to be chronological as well, but it really is big tune after big tune, great if you buy only one dance album. Faithless, Livin Joy, Modjo (what a track!), Olive, Stardust, the list goes on. I'm lovin it! Couldn't recommend it more...i'll be getting it for people for Christmas...
