There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley

You 're The One That I Want.......2007-04-03
The complete Grease experience. This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection.
Prepare to be transported to Summer Nights.......2006-03-26
Well here we are with a great piece of history.
This album has not only captured the spirit of the movie but the essence of a 1970's version of the 1950's. I have seen this play live and yes some things are different. Yet I grew up on the movie. I even find myself singing some of the songs now and then. Of course you will never see me singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." However I do keep this in my car as great driving music. This album is not you can pick apart and say things like missing songs, in the wrong order etc. It sounds and feels just right. There will be many versions yet this one is the Grease - Deluxe Edition [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK] gives you more information about each of the tracks allowing you to feel that you have inside information and to feel that you know more of what went into the making of each song.
Great Soundtrack & Fun Extras from an Enduring Musical........2004-07-06
I'm enjoying listening to this great soundtrack that I loved as a child after a long hiatus. I had it on 8-track 25 years ago. So it's fitting that I should get the 25th Anniversary Edition on CD. The 24 songs from the movie are just as everyone remembers them, so I'll talk about the Bonus Disc, which contains 10 alternative versions of the songs plus 2 previously unreleased instrumentals from the film.
Track 1 on the Bonus Disc is an instrumental version of the film's theme, "Grease", written and produced by Barry Gibb. Frankie Valli's voice has been replaced by a saxophone. The chorus is vocal, but the voices are not those in the original song. You could use this as a sing-along version, as it would be easy to sing over the sax. Tracks 2-5 are officially sing-along versions. "Summer Nights" includes the chorus vocals from the film and sounds good. "You're the One That I Want" has new chorus vocals of questionable merit. "Sandy" is a new arrangement. It's not as good as the film version, but you can sing along. Track 6 is the single version of "Greased Lightning" that you may have heard on the radio back in the day. It's differs from the original in that the bad words have been replaced for radio airplay. Tracks 7-8 are previously unreleased instrumentals from the film. "Greased Up and Ready to Go" is lively. Tracks 9-10 are mixes that I occasionally hear on the radio. The "Grease Megamix" and the "Grease Dream Mix" are fun, if awkward. Tracks 11-12 are Martian Remixes of "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want". They retain the original vocals, but set them to a Latin rhythm. They make pretty good dance tracks.
This 2-disc set isn't in a jewel case. The case is paperboard with 4 panels that fold out. This is inside of a clear vinyl slip case on which the tracks are written. This isn't convenient packaging. On the bright side, the case won't crack in the mail. Tucked inside one of the panels is a booklet that contains lyrics and credits.
The "Grease: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" is a terrifically fun soundtrack to one of the all-time great movie musicals. And for all those preteen girls who go wild over the movie with each new generation, the bonus material is perfect for parties and horsing around.
If You Love Grease, You'll Love This - Only 1 Major Flaw.......2004-05-15
Disc 1 is like the original album, which I also own. 1 major flaw is that "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" cuts off at the very end of it! I was upset by this, hence the 3 stars instead of 4. Disc 2 is a lot of fun w/some remixes and sing-a-longs, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it being that I'm a HUGE Grease fan. If you like Grease, you'll love this, it's fun. Too bad when they "remastered" it, they didn't catch there 1 mistake. Oh well, at least I have it on another album.

Customer Reviews:
Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.
Top Shelf.......2007-01-04
This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.
TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23
THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.
Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14
This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway
Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17
If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews:
Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27
This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.
Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04
Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.
Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.
Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28
There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)
Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04
As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.
One Night Only .......2006-07-19
I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!

Director David Lynch's affection for kitschy lounge music and emotionally overwrought mid-century pop has long since proven to be more than trend or irony; indeed, it's often the uneasy spiritual axis of his films. The soundtrack of Mulholland Dr. turns on the usual Lynchian motifs (the brooding atmosphere of Angelo Badalamenti's ominous synth-and-orchestra cues tossed with a dash of Lynch's own off-center compositions), yet manages to evoke a sense of foreboding that's distinctly its own. Badalamenti leads off with a curve, the nervous orchestra swing-romp "Jitterbug," before descending into a dark soundscape that becomes murkier and more avant-goth at every turn. Bubbling through that morass are pop nuggets variously cheesy (Dave Cavanaugh's lounge-ready "The Beast"), lugubriously bluesy (Sonny Boy Williamson's take on Willie Dixon's "Bring It On Home"), and alternately innocent ("I've Told Every Little Star") and liturgical ("Llorando"). Three tracks of the director's own (cowritten with John Neff) skulking Lounge Music from Hell ratchet up the tension even further; it's the perfect garnish for this darkly delicious film-music cocktail. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
In this dream, you are Betty Elms.......2007-01-13
The reviews here simply don't do justice to the soundtrack. It's very hypnotizing and elevates you to this reality that you indeed have the same mental energy displayed by the first character of Betty Elms, who Diane Selwyn identifies with as herself in a dream she is having. The dark scenery conveyed by this music puts you in her place, where through darkness you hold to your innocence. The movie and music interplay in this way to the effect of putting you in that darkness where you are the same girl that Diane is seeing in her dream, the girl she knows herself to be without the hellish reality she is in as a sort of resolve to the hell she's in. This Naomi Watts specifically conveyed what I thought is a part of me that may also be a part of you, and you will notice it in the way you look at things and how your face expresses your innocence to a dark world. Then there is the music for Rita. I also reviewed the movie, which I also recommend. My favorite track is the 9th one in this respect. Secondly, which you may find suitable for your funeral, is the last song. The rest I almost prefer watching the movie and appreciating it all while viewing, but it's music you must have after you've seen it.
Badalamenti does it again........2006-11-17
If you're a fan of Angelo Badalamenti's scores for David Lynch, you'll want to add this to your collection as well. Haunting synth pieces lull you into the dreamlike world Lynch created with this film, and there are some other types of music to jazz it up a little. Particularly striking is Rebekah Del Rio's cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying."
Take a drive through David Lynch's musical hell and deluding darkness..........2006-06-26
To start of, I regard "Mulholland Dr." as David Lynch magnum opus, his most masterfully created cinema of deceit, lust and darkness. Compelling, totally deranged, original, sometimes hilarious funny, and three minutes later scary as hell.
David Lynch's movies are always heavy set on atmosphere, and this is partly caused by the director's long time musical collaborator Angelo Badalamenti. From the jazzy, loungy tunes for the t.v. series "Twin Peaks" to the dark overtones of "Blue Velvet", Badalamenti knows wich buttons to push to make an eerie composition, a few notes of estrangeness and give the audience an unsetteling feeling.
"Mulholland Dr." is filled with music. Most of it is purely on the soundrack with Badalamenti's score coming very close to high quality dark ambient acts like Lustmord, Raison d'Etre or Hazard, others are sung "live" in the movie, like Linda Scott's sweet bubblegumish "I've told every little star", two very hip tunes ("The beast" by Milt Buckner and Sonny Boy Williamson's "Bring it on home") and of course Rebekah Del Rio's acapella performance of "llorando", the Spanish version of Roy Orbison's evergreen.
But the greatest surprise to me were three tracks by David Lynch himself in collaboration with one John Neff. And these three pieces are to be find on a solo cd by David Lynch called "Blue Bob".
I never knew before seeing "Mulholland Dr." that David Lynch is also a guiter player and singer. Now I know and I must say that his song "Mountains falling" is the most brooding, creeping, swirling and erotic sounding piece of electric guitar music I have ever heard.
So play this album and hit the road, Jack. And pray that indeed you will come back...
dark and (often) beautiful.......2005-11-25
anyone who has seen mulholland drive knows that the soundtrack lent a very important hand to the overall vibe of the movie. so you would think that it would be hard to enjoy one without the other, but this soundtrack suceeds very well on its own. alot of film scores are fine and enhance the movie while yr watching it, but are trash when taken alone and this sndtrk is kind of above that. i'm not really big on any of the lynch/neff tracks, but they work fine in the movie. the other songs that weren't written by badalamenti are pretty good and are a nice change of pace. my favorite tracks are dwarfland/love theme (especially the latter half), mulholland drive/love theme, llorando, and diane and camilla. i dont believe that diane and camilla was in the movie, but its a very beautiful piece that i think sums up the diane/camilla relationship quite well. anyway, i really like this cd and anyone who enjoyed the film would do well to pick this up
A dark journey through the sphere of horror........2005-10-26
It may not be a horror movie, but the score for Mulholland Drive could be a journey through the ultimate graveyard or haunted house on a stormy Halloween night. I have never even seen the movie, though I love David Lynch's movies for the most part. This score is a dark and haunting musical journey that might work well for a score to a creepy vampire movie or something. Some of it, including the heavy jazzy and dark rock pieces, might be better suited for a suspense thriller, which it is. But the more ambient dark themes could work in any supernatural thriller much as Mark Snow's music could. Enjoy the tour! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Two Thumbs Up for Hi 5.......2004-05-22
My 3-year-old daughter and I love the show,as well as the songs. Very well written songs and nice melody. We can't wait to get the other CDs.
excellent.......2004-02-19
My son is only 2 but already hooked up on Hi-5. He's familiar with all the tunes from TV and now whenever he starts listening to this particular CD in the car or elsewhere it puts him automatically in a great mood and he starts dancing around the way the HI-5 team does on TV and tries to get the words right. The tunes are catchy and the lyrics are easy to follow. HI-5 is the one show on TV I enjoy probably just as much as my son does.
Simply fantastic.......2002-07-22
All members of my family love this CD, it was our first introduction to Hi-5 and from the age of 8 months to today my 20month old daughter loves the music. We have lent it to her nursery where all the other children are now enjoying Hi-5
Excellent music for all ages.......2001-12-26
I am a Preschool Teacher working with 0-2 year olds, they love it and so do the teachers. It is a CD that appeals to all ages, the 2-5 year olds love it. And you freqently hear older children and adults songing the songs. The songs are well written and educational, with great music that makes it a pleasure to listen too. It is one of those CDs you can listen to and listen to, and still enjoy.
My absolute favorite.......2001-02-28
I am a 15 year old (not the most common age for Hi-5 but still) and I absolutly thrive on this CD. I love all of the members of this group and recomend this CD to anyone (and in the US if your my age noone else would have heard of them so they won't pay you out:)) Hi-5's songs are educational but they all have a catchy tune and i garantee you'll be singing along with Hi-5 when listening to these songs after you've caught on.

For right-minded buyers of the reissued Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, the odds of disappointment are about as remote as Miss Piggy's chances with Kermit. If you loved the movie, you will love the loopy mayhem of the Muppet Brass Buskers ("Good King Wenceslas"), the cartoonish malice of the black-hearted misanthropes Marley & Marley ("Marley & Marley"), and the hope-swollen harmonies of Tiny Tim and Family ("Bless Us All"), Muppeted here to hilariously humble effect. If, on the other hand, your interest in this disc has more to do with its inclusion in the way-narrow Christmas-record-for-kids category--if the spirit of the season doesn't extend, for you, to the magic of the Muppets--you may want to keep browsing, as it's a soundtrack first (overture, instrumentals, and all) and a Christmas CD second. That's not to suggest you're stuck with an un-fun disc should it land on your holiday stack without a prior screening, though. Miles Goodman's score sweeps and inspires, and certain tracks--"One More Sleep 'til Christmas" and "Fozziwig's Party"--are future classics. (Note to the right-minded: After a misstep on the original release, Martina McBride's version of "When Love is Gone" is back.) -Tammy La Gorce
Customer Reviews:
Finally released.......2007-05-23
If your Christmas isn't complete without listening to this music, this CD is a must buy. The audio quality is excellent despite the age of the film. Michael Cain and Belle come out crystal clear in their solo and ensemble work. The surprise of this album is the inclusion of two tracks (one by Beaker and Bunson and one by Scrogge's primary school teacher) that are not in the film. They are fun but unexpected. I could only ask that the CD last longer with such beautiful traditional music, but alas there is no more music to include. Maybe they could market Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island together in the future?
Good CD.......2007-02-14
My wife has been looking for this soundtrack for years. We were very happy to find it and get it so fast. This has some of the best music ever written for a movie.
the muppet christmas carol cd.......2007-01-19
Amazing the songs are so cleaver and i have bee waiting for this for a long time, it has been out of print great cd and the movie is so awesome!!
Holiday Classic with Kermit , Miss Piggy, and Michael Caine.......2007-01-12
The score from The Muppet Christmas Carol is full of the spirit of Christmas. The familiar story by Dicken's is given new life with the great score (mostly written by Paul Williams). Great energy is relayed to the listener as Scrooge (Michael Caine)is painted in words and as Bob Cratchet (Kermit the Frog) sings with his co-workers 'One More Sleep 'Til Christmas'. The love song duet between Scrooge (Michael Caine) and his fiancee during a ghostly vision brings great pathos to the character. For lovers of the Muppets and or Dickens, there is no better way to enter into the spirit of the season.
Awesome.......2007-01-08
These are some of the most heartwarming songs. I even find myself singing the ones about poor Mr. Scrooge.

Album Description
This is music for kids with a rock `n' roll heart. Brady Rymer's Parent's Choice Recommended, iParenting Media Hot Product Award, and NAPPA Honors Award-winning "I Found It!" is a hip descendant of the happy, sing-along spirit of Motown, the party atmosphere of the E Street Band and Bruce Springsteen, and the warmth and heart of Bob Marley. Says Rymer, formerly of the RCA roots rock band From Good Homes, "I wanted this CD to be a soulful, funky, feel-good party for kids and their raised-on-radio parents, to show folks just how much fun they can have listening to good, happy music with people they love!" The songs encourage children to creatively explore new and familiar aspects of the world around them, and celebrate small but momentous achievements in a child's world. The infectious "Drawing on the Sidewalk" invites kids to show the world all that's in their hearts by using their imagination; "I Found It!" turns the loss of a loved toy into a celebration of! finding it; "Bathtub Soup" creates a deliciously silly meal from the stuff children bring to bathtime.
Customer Reviews:
One of our favorites.......2006-06-21
My 6 and 8 year old, love this CD. He's also great in concert if you get a chance to see him.
Ok, not great.......2005-09-16
After reading all the reviews, I was expecting to love this CD. But the music starts to all sound the same. It's Brady's version of Bob Dylan-ish music with kid-like beats and words - but much of it is boring. It's not terrible, and my daughter gets a kick out of some of the words, but all in all, I suggest her other music CDs and I wouldn't recommend someone buy this one.
Children's music that is fun for all ages.......2005-02-15
WOW! Brady's latest album is his best. The tunes are growing up (as are our kids). They are still young and fun, and yet "cool" enough to keep our 6 and 8 year old boys' attention.
I especially enjoy the title track "I Found It'.
Your kids will love it and so will you!.......2005-01-06
This is one of those situation where a few years from now, you'll say, "I knew him when..." because there is no better kids music out there. The tunes are great and the lyrics capture the sweetness, silliness, and innocence of youth. Brady has 2 kids of his own and is well aware that kids' music is listened to by both kids AND parents. If your kids are like most, not only do they not mind repetition, they relish it, so it is a huge bonus that this music is so great to listen to. I really like this album, with Look at My Belly a close second, while my son's favorite is Fall Leaves. Buy 'em all and you won't be sorry.
so glad I FOUND IT!.......2004-12-30
This is the children's album we've been looking for. "I Found It" is a pretty apt title. The kids adore Brady's tunes and-- incredibly-- so do we. Nothing against Raffi or baby belugas, but a lot of music aimed at kids is pretty hard to take. Some of Brady's stuff, on the other hand, stands up to the best of adult rock. If your own idea of great music is Neal Young or Dave Mathews, you are in for a treat. We stumbled upon this, then went and bought the other albums by Brady. All are wonderful.

great mix of 2004 songs.......2005-11-10
"I Wanna Know What Love Is" makes this cd worth getting alone. The song is an incredible song, and the mix is sick. I can't stop listening to this song. I also like "Surrender", though to end the cd with a song with such strong beats wasn't the best idea in my opinion. The other songs you should know from the radio. I won't go into detail on every one of them, but they are all worth a listen on here. I enjoyed the mixing and definitely feel this is the best cd to listen to the hits of 2004 vocal dance.
I like this album a whole lot! .......2005-09-13

4) How Did You Know- I love this one! Grade: A+
5) You Never Know- Not that awesome, but decent. Grade: C+
6) I Like It- Very upbeat and awesome! Grade: A
7) Pump It Up- This one is good, but a little annoying. Grade: B
8) White Flag- The original version was better. Grade: C+
9) Everytime- I like the original version better. Grade: C+
10) Easy As Life- This one is good. Grade: B+
11) If I Close My Eyes- One of my favorites! Grade: A+

14) I Want to Know What Love Is- Awesome remix! Grade: A+
15) Rise Again- Good song! Grade: B+
16) Surrender- This one is okay. Grade: B
I play this CD often and it's one of my favorite albums. I'm a huge fan of dance and techno music and that's why I asked for this CD.
We've seen better, but there are quite a few awesome hits!.......2005-01-18
"Dance Party 2004" and "Trance Party 2" were much better than this CD, but that doesn't mean that "Dance Party 2005" isn't good. There are quite a few awesome hits on this CD and one unbeatable, exclusive DJ Sammy hit. OK fine, I'll review every song.
1. Shapeshifters "Lola's Theme" (3:21) B+
Good dance hit with an awesome vocalist. The artist, Shapeshifters, is also called Shape:UK on other dance albums, but its the same popular song.
2. Nina Sky feat. Jabba "Move Ya Body" (Norty Cotto Remix) (3:07) B+
Much better than the original version; much less annoying. The house beat beats (ha ha) the original beat. Look for "Oye Mi Canto", Nina Sky's much better single. Nina Sky are actually two sisters; don't get confused. Good song.
3. Stellar Project feat. Brandi Emma "Get Up, Stand Up" (Phunk Investigation Radio Edit) (3:20) A+
Awesome song! The beat is great, the vocalist is awesome, and the song is overall wonderful. One of the best on the album.
4. Mynt feat. Kim Sozzi "How Did You Know?" (4:09) B
The vocals are good, but the song gets repetitive. The chorus is awesome but a trance remix would really spice up this boring song.
5. Marly "You Never Know" (3:35) B
No, not Bob Marley, nowhere close. The vocalist somewhat reminds me of the vocalist on Eyeopener's "Hungry Eyes" (Now 59). This song is OK. Good beat but kind of boring. Vocals aren't great.
6. Narcotic Thrust "I Like It" (6:15) A-
No need for the extended mix, but this song is pretty good. Much better than their first single. Strange lyrics, but extremely catchy. Good vocalist, good song.
7. Danzel "Pump It Up" (3:51) B+
Kind of annoying, but catchy. I think Danzel won the UK's "Pop Idol", the original "American Idol" only in the UK (duh). Good song. I think this a remix but I'm not sure. A different beat than the original.
8. Dido "White Flag" (Scumfrog Remix) (3:30) C-
Horrible remix of a great song. One, the vocals go too slowly. They just drone on and on. Second, the beat is good, but the other sounds are kind of disturbing and unneeded. This remix is not good at all. Some of the lyrics are even cut off! Nope, never listening to this one again.
9. Britney Spears "Everytime" (Valentin Remix) (3:55) B+
If it weren't for the annoying sounds, this song would easily get an A. Great remix compared to Track 8. Awesome beat and tempo for the lyrics. Better than the Valentin Remix of O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tea", the most catchy Romanian dance song ever. How random.
10. Deborah Cox "Easy As Life - Theme From Aida - " (3:57) B+
Deborah Cox did a great job in her play outing "Aida" - this dance remix of the theme of the play is OK but nothing too special. Good beat and vocals though.
11. Reina "If I Close My Eyes" (4:00) A
Wonderful song and easily Reina's best. Her 1997 hit "Find Another Woman" was good but then her 2004 single wasn't great. This song opens the new year on a great note. Awesome song - great lyrics and decent beat. Great job, Reina!
12. The Roc Project feat. Tina Novak "Deja Vu (It's Hard To Believe)" (Johnny Budz Breaks Mix) (4:26) B
Good song, but isn't as good as "Never", their first single. Also, the Johnny Budz Breaks Mix of "Never" was better too. Even though the beat remains cool, this song just isn't as deep.
13. Plummet "Cherish The Day" (Antillas Mix) (4:23) B+
Again, their first single, "Damaged", was a lot better. "Cherish The Day" is still a good song though. Great beat and alien-type effects/sounds. The vocalist remains really good. Nice song.
14. Wynonna "I Want To Know What Love Is" (Piper Remix) (5:07) A
Awesome song. Wynonna is an amazing singer and this is a really good song. The remix is awesome because of the really catchy and memorable beat. Deep lyrics and music. I really want to hear her next song.
15. DJ Sammy feat. Loona "Rise Again" (4:04) A+
Best song on the album. This exclusive track is a rare gem in trance music. Great subtle beat, lifting lyrics, and awesome singer. Loona also starred on DJ Sammy's "Boys Of Summer", his 2nd best hit. I can't wait to get the single of this song! I wish there was a second verse, but who cares? This song is awesome and another awesome way to start the year!
16. Lasgo "Surrender" (3:04) B+
Lasgo's vocalist, Evi Goffin, has a wonderful voice. The beat to this song isn't too awesome, though. I'm just glad "Alone" stopped replaying on the radio every five minutes. Decent song, but every Lasgo track is starting to sound frighteningly similar.
Overall, the CD gets a B+. Good songs with the exception of one or two not so great songs. There are classics here such as "Get Up Stand Up", "I Want To Know What Love Is", and "Rise Again", so I suggest this album. Also, "Rise Again" is an exclusive track not available on single for a while. Go to www.loona.com to hear it also...GET THIS ALBUM!
Dance Party: Like It's 2005.......2004-12-25
I first came into contact with Robbins Ent., the folks behind Dance Party: Like It's 2005 with their previous release Trance Party Vol. 4. After TP 4, I was instantly hooked. The songs Robbins & The Happy Boys put out are awesome. DP 2k5 is no exception. There are many chart topping hits like Britney's Everytime, Cox's Easy As Life, and more. If you like popular music with a dance back beat, DP 2k5 is a great choice. Be sure to check out robbinsent.com because these guys put out a lot great music! Oh yea, I highly recommend Trance Party Vol. 4 too!

Customer Reviews:
Great compilation.......2002-05-10
I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.
A disappointment.......2001-12-15
There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.
