"Blank & Jones have taken Trance music to a whole new level with "DJ Culture". While it is a wonderfully crafted album, it can get old fast. I got this album because a friend of mine had heard the track "The Nightfly" in a club in Denver and had told me about it and recommended it to me. When I heard the track for the first time I could not help but to get up and start dancing and "The Nightfly" was such a great song it made me go out and start finding more music by Blank & Jones. Soon after I had heard the track "DJ Culture" and I felt that I would have to get the album. Overall the album is great but after repeated listings of it it tends to all sound the same and as I said before can get old quickly. "A New Culture Is Born" is basically an intro and a weak one at that. It is basically just a bunch of talking and an ocassional drum beat. "The NightFly" is one of those tracks I have yet to get sick of after hearing it thousands of times. The energy of this track will have anyone dancing! "La Luna" is also a High Energy track, but there really isn't anything special about it. "DJ Culture" is another High Energy track that can get anyone moving and is my personal favorite of the album. "The Nightfly (Break Reprise)" is almost the same as the original version but has more of a Break Beat feel instead of a Trance feel. It's a very good mix of the song. The rest of the songs on the album are good but they all tend to sound the same which gets boring after a while. "Waste Your Youth" was good the first time I heard it but now tends to annoy me. All in all this is a good album, it has it's highlights, but, if you are interested in getting the album because of "The Nightfly" or "DJ Culture" then it's not worth the money."

Good, but to repetitive

""DJ Culture" is a great CD the first time you listen to it, by the second listen you find yourself a little tired of it, and by the third time around you'll be skipping to only the tracks you like. This is not a CD you can listen all the way through, take it from me, I've heard much better efforts from Blank & Jones. "Nightfly" "La Luna" & "Cream" are great progressive trance tracks, but the rest sound too much alike. Sorry guys, I have to say I really hated giving this album 3 stars but like I said in my review for Kardinal Offishall, maybe next time..."

Blank & Jones Rules!
