mini reviews #7

seventh edition now and as the last one, very long overdue. but it wasn't my fault, it was her fault sort of as she's been a bit unreachable. she's another one that i asked her from the beginning but she was reluctant but finally things have come to order. she is scottish woman by name of kayleigh mackie and she likes music as much as i but finds that i listen to mostly stuff that she's never heard of. as she was named after marillion's 1985 hit "kayleigh", it's her favourite song of all time..... i've never heard of that until i talked to her so she did introduce me to something new.

01. wiley - boom blast | youtube
this is prime dancefloor material but it does nothing for me.

02. the klf - what time is love (pure trance) | youtube
it's technically not trance, but this is trance and it's one of the best songs of all time

03. talla 2xlc - no in between (john o'callaghan remix) | youtube
it's not bad but this comes of as a poor mans version of paul van dyk's "the riddle" and the vocals are terrible.

04. pulp victim - the world (moonman club mix) | youtube
there are a few other version i rate higher than ferry's own remix but i do still enjoy this track.

05. avicci - levels | youtube
i tolerate this but i don't like it and i think the etta james sample works better in the context of flo rida's "good feeling" even though i hate that song. i think this song would have been better instrumental.

06. simian mobile disco - hustler (armand van helden remix) | youtube
i love the original and this comes of as more second rate felix da housecat than armand van helden. it's decent.

07. kidda - under the sun (herve's ain't no sunshine remix) | youtube
i like this one and the way herve worked those amen-like drums along with the piano in the break is nice

08. otis redding - hard to handle | youtube
this so funky. one of the best songs of all time.

09. nas - if i ruled the world (feat. lauryn hill) | youtube
classic song, not my favourite nas track but i love this song

10. foster the people - pumped up kicks | youtube
i've heard this song a few times and while it's really groovy and i like the bassline, the rest is nothing special.

thanks for those ten kayleigh. and as always i asked if she wanted to anything extra about his picks and her response was:
no.
right on.
