Ultimate Dance Party 1997 contains many of the biggest dance hits of 1995 and 1996, including Quad City DJs' "Come On and Ride It (The Train)," La Bouche's "Be My Lover," Ace of Base's "Beautiful Life," Everything but the Girl's "Missing," Los Del Mar's "Macarena" (which is not the version with English lyrics), Annie Lennox's "No More I Love You ...
Ace of Base's strong point is not versatility -- all of their hit singles have exactly the same beat. But that doesn't matter. On their debut album, The Sign, they managed to create a piece of melodic Euro-disco that was a huge hit all over the world, appealing to both dance clubs and pop radio. And with singles like "All That She Wants," "The ...
Consistently written off as ABBA wannabes and subpar pop poseurs, Ace of Base actually wrote some of the best pop songs of the '90s. Though the vocals were never up to par with even the least accomplished singers and the production was often sparse, the hooks in most of their cuts are irresistible. From their stateside breakthrough hit "All That ...
Ace of Base's Platinum & Gold Collection is a decent, bare-bones compilation featuring most of the group's biggest hits. "The Sign," "Don't Turn Around," "Beautiful Life," "All That She Wants," and "Cruel Summer" are all present and accounted for, along with "Happy Nation" and the original (as opposed to acoustic) version of "Lucky Love." The ...
Ultimate Dance Party 1999 is a collection of urban and pop hits from 1998, including "Walkin' on the Sun" by Smash Mouth, "Still Not a Player" by Big Punisher, "I'm Leavin" by Lisa Stansfield, "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" by Busta Rhymes and "Free" by Ultra Naté, among others. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
This club-crawling compilation, which includes spiffy new remixes to keep the party rocking, is pretty short on durable songs. It does, however, boast some powerful, of-the-moment dancefloor grooves: Rednex's "Cotton Eye Joe," Aaliyah's "Back & Forth," and 69 Boyz's "Tootsee Roll" are tops among them. ~ Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide
The best club tracks circa mid-1996, this ninth edition in the MTV Party to Go series includes tracks by Coolio, Everything But the Girl, Ace of Base, R. Kelly, L.L. Cool J and the Notorious B.I.G., among others. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide
Volume six of the hit-and-miss series of MTV Party to Go albums. This installment has some of the best hip-hop to hit the radio around 1994. Unfortunately, it also has some of the worst, most syrupy stuff available at the time as well. Among great party tracks by K7, Coolio, Warren G, and Domino are scattered various bits of debris that perhaps ...
Best of Dance Hits Super Mix delivers exactly what the title suggests: a collection of some of the '90s biggest dance-pop hits performed by artists like Alexia, Ultra Nate, Real McCoy, and Gina G. Amber's "This Is Your Night," N-Trance's "Staying Alive," LaBouche's "Be My Lover," No Mercy's "Where Do You Go," and Everything but the Girl's "Missing ...
Ace of Base's music is never about diversity. Their first two records mined infectious Euro-disco beats to great effect, and the first, at least, illustrated they had a knack for writing big, irresistible pop hooks. Cruel Summer, their third album, attempts to capture the carefree, stylish charm that drove "All That She Wants" and "The Sign" to ...
Ace of Base's sequel to their multi-platinum debut The Sign sounds like the same record on the surface. There are the same bouncy Europop beats, ingratiatingly catchy melodies, and shiny production. However, underneath that gloss is an improved sense of songwriting. Ace of Base still might not be innovators, but they don't need to be. Instead, ...
Luv Collection: Hot Luv compiles club hits like "Get Ready For This" (2 Unlimited), "Be My Lover" (La Bouche), "Here Comes the Hotstepper" (Ini Kamoze), "100% Pure Love" (Crystal Waters), "Run Away" (Real McCoy), "This Is How We Do It" (Montell Jordan), "Macarena" (Los Del Mar), "Missing (Todd Terry Mix)" (Everything But the Girl), "The Rhythm of ...
Rhino's Millennium series is one of the most successful that they released in the early 21st century, not just in terms of sales, but in terms of giving the people what they want. They promise to deliver the biggest songs of a particular style on one disc, and while some cuts may be missing on certain discs, it's usually hard to argue with what's ...
Madacy's "Move This" is a collection of 16 dance club hits from the '90s. Much of the material is from the early half of the decade ("I'm Too Sexy," "Summertime," "Rhythm Is a Dancer," "Move Your Body," "Move This"), with selections from Nicki French ("Total Eclipse of the Heart"), La Bouche ("Sweet Dreams"), Loleatta Holloway ("Good Vibrations"), ...
Flowers is the original version of Ace of Base's third album, which in the U.S. became Cruel Summer. Flowers contains 14 tracks as opposed to Cruel Summer's 12, some of which appear in alternate versions. For example, "Donnie," a gem of a track which should have been a hit, is somewhat under-produced and unrealized on Flowers but truly shines on ...
The '90s installment of Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series sticks firmly to pop favorites of the decade. But that actually makes it stronger, since it would be hard to sync up, say, Amy Grant's bouncy "Baby Baby" with most of the grunge or alternative movements' heavy hitters. Instead, the comp moves through an engaging mix of adult pop, light ...
