Reverent, playful, tradition-based, inventive and post-modernist all at once.. a scrumptious combination of spiritual nourishment and musical fun.

Alan Cohen
Sparkles with creativity, inpiration and aliveness. Open your hearts and be moved.

Now Is The Time!!.......2005-03-06

I already owned Vegas but I bought this CD mainly because it had More and the live version of Now Is The Time. I'm really glad I did because I love listening to this CD along with Vegas. However, I could probably live without track 5 because it's basically the same beat over and over without much change but it's still fun to listen to. TCM plays really fast techno/rock kind of music and is great to dance to and just get into the beat. I mainly got interested in TCM after hearing Keep Hope Alive, More, Now Is The Time(olympic mix) and Busy Child from the fifa 98 soundtrack, so I knew that I had to get Vegas. If you love techno than buy this CD and Vegas. TCM ROCKS!!!!

Track 6 is Killer.......2003-01-01

If you buy this CD for track 6 only ("Dubeliscious Groove"), it is worth the green. But tracks 2, 3, and 4 are also great remixes of previous TCM cuts. There are some fantastic, intelligently done grooves on those tracks. If you call yourself a TCM fan, or any kind of lover of boom 'n doom techno, then you gotta have this CD.

Worth it to me for track 5.......2001-06-12

The rest of the disc is lame but ohhh, the dubelicious groove spanish fly mix track FIVE -- a slow, dark and sexy groove caressed with spanish vocals a la femme ... buy it for that!! ((unless of course you ONLY want electronica you can dance to))

Wonderful, but not ENTIRELY perfect.......1999-06-20

First of all, this is an awesome CD. I know it's just an EP, but it's a great one. The best thing about the CD (nay, Crystal Method in general) is the sheer amount of layers in their songs, and the complex beats they jam with. Track 1 is great, but it's kind of mainstream. Track 2 is supposedly a mix of the same thing, but is COMPLETELY different, and totally chill. Tracks 3,4, and 6 are all completely original, incredible sounding, and immensely layered. Track 5 I could actually do without, but just because it's not as good in contrast with the rest. This review also comes with an obligatory rave for Vegas. Get it.

An Excellent Display of Talent To Rock Out To.......2001-11-16

well, to begin with, there are a few things you need to understand...the crystal method, although they may be embraced by pop culture, are 2 men with amazing talents...i have found that the album vegas is one of the least tiresome records i own...and i am a fan of literally every type of legitimate music there is. this single, despite what other reviewers have said, is a must for anyone who can't get enough of vegas. it shows totally new views of Keep Hope Alive, and also features Three Other New Tracks: Now Is The Time, More, and The Dubiliscious Groove. These aren't the ... rock songs that you'll find listening to "Tweekend", these are original, over the top old tracks, probably made during the recording of vegas. In my opinion, the new album, tweekend, is very weak and sappy...not living up to the time we had to wait for the follow up to vegas. i think that the crystal method would have been better to make this a bigger release (it's even on moonshine, a different, more respectable record label: what's with that?) The Crystal Method have plenty of remixes of various songs from vegas, and i think that if they'd released a collection of these, as they did with Keep Hope Alive, it'd come across as a much stronger record.

but what do i know?

i know that this EP is even better music to make out to than vegas...and if that doesn't sell you, then i don't know what will.

It takes the best of Vegas and brings it to the next level........2001-11-15

Keep Hope Alive takes all of the best, most exciting elements from Crystal Method's Vegas, and cranks up the volume. All of the fast, trippy action heard on the full album is here, but only with higher intensity. Any fan of Vegas is going to find themselves right at home with this single.

Lovely..........2001-09-05

If you are a big fan of TCM's first album 'Vegas', you will definitely like this album! The remixes are sufficiently different than what you heard before to be worth the price. Hey, I like it even better than their new album 'Tweekend'!

Kickin' song and mixes.......2001-09-01

This is the great song that was in the title sequence of the Replacement Killers (Chow Yung Fatt). It is a bit expensive for a single that is not even an import, but you get your time worth with this single, each remix is 5-7 minutes long! For the price of this single, you can just go purchase the Vegas CD which has Keep Hope Alive on it.

Not what I expected.......2007-05-22

I have been a long time house music lover all the way back in the days of Chicago. This was a devastating disappointment. The result didn't match the intention in this project. Very cheaply done. :-(

Masterpiece.......2004-12-06

Blaze have proven once again that they are truely the current Godfathers of vocal /soulful house music.Inspirers and pioneers of the soulful "Shelter" sound. I personally rate them as the best house producers currently, followed by the likes of Frankie Feliciano, Dj Spinna and Osunlade.It would be a great tragedy for any music lover to not have this CD in their collection.The CD has a lot of meaning and is extremely inspiring and uplifting.I cannot forsee how Blaze can outdo what they have produced in this Album.But then again Blaze are Blaze, true legends in terms of soulful house and one thing they have done consistently without fail to outdo themselves.

Uplifting & Soulful music.......2004-11-06

Believe me, the lyrics of each song will move you. This is an very well crafted album of songs that will help you through any
hard times in your life and make you feel better. The songs are
about unity, love, peace and the abandonment of pain. This is truly Garage/House music with emotive vocals at it very best! You will be gald that you have this CD because they replay value is excellent. You can listen to each song and feel the emotive through it. I love all the song on it. If you want music that will bring you joy, get this great CD.
