"This is a pure party on a disc. If this stuff doesn't get a crowd moving nothing will. It's fun as hell, varied, and retro without being dated about it and upbeat without being (too) cheesy. It's a little more uptempo and forward than a loungecore compilation might expect, it's primarily funky breakbeat with a 60s flavor. Lovers of Fantastic Plastic Machine, or Deee-Lite need to check this out immediately."
Fantabulous blast of kitschfunk!

"Ursula 1000 built this mix album with a total DJ/techno ethos, but the music, beats, singing, EVERYTHING is soaked in a kind of Austin Powers-lounge-martini-swinger vibe. Latin percussion, organs, techno flourishes, horns, analog synths, and kickin' beats are pureed into a simmering greasy funk that is just irresistable. No one cool should listen to this kind of music, but if you have any cool in you at all you will be on your feet shaking your thang all over the place!

"Ursula was the guy on the fringe of my big audio taste buds since I became hip to the ESL sound....his boogaloo-ness was cool, but not as cool as the phat tracks the 1212 crew was dropping, so... I never really got in to it. Then I stumbled upon his mix tape (which was a "study" for this album I think)... let me tell you, it was like being addicted to heroin! I couldn't make it through the day without listening to it! One of the best dance albums this year without question (definitely rates up there with NOW and TC DJ Kicks (my two all-time favorites)."
Not for rocket surgeons but they should get it anyway

"Fun fun fun. Ursula 1000 doesn't try to be sophisticated or deep. He doesn't try to tell stories or break a lot of new ground. I don't think he intended to. That being said this album does exactly what it sets out to do very very well. What seems at first to just be ear candy for the usually more sophisticated listener is actually quite a bit more than that, with ever losing its playfulness.
Largely latin and funk, and several artists worth looking into in their own right. The tracks just keep coming and coming, and while you might not like a particular track, I personally don't dislike any of them. And to make it even better, just like a liquid filled candy, the end is just as good as the beginning (often not the case these days).
Get this CD. Have a cocktail party. Let loose and get funky."
Think pink...

"Because thats the color of the album cover and I couldnt think of a good title. Nonetheless, although I hesititate to admit it, this album made me dance. Not the wild dancing you see at the club, but more so the kind you do in front of the full body mirror when no one is watching. Bring in the hip and hype splashed over head-nodding beats and scrubbed down with other worldly basslines and now you're feet are scorching Barishnikoyv style. Think Oceans Twelve. Think swanky martini's. In fact dont even think just get this and watch your ass shake like a saltshaka."
