Party like it's....1998?

"'Ere we go, another new release intended to "show the Americans" what's "new" in dance music. Judging by the tune selection it would appear to be early 1999. If you thought Oakenfold's "Tranceport" was anthemic, Dave "the Wave" Dresden has a surprise for you! "Xpander." "For An Angel." "Out of the Blue." "Three Drives." This makes Ministry compilations look positively underground! I could have stomached this barrage of anthems two years ago, but so much has happened in dance music, why do releases like this keep coming out and re-hashing the same old things? Two stars -- because two years ago, these tunes WERE enjoyable. Enough already. [sigh]."

"[....] Give us a break. Trot out the same old trance anthems again and try to look innocent as you collect the dough. Please, show some originality and pick a track that might be new to people's collections, instead of the same set of tunes cleverly arranged in a different order. Folks, do yourselves a favor and go for something from the Renaissance series, the Global Underground series or one of Gatecrasher's CDs."

"Grooveradio's Dave 'the wave' Dresden proves to be a DJ with creative style and character. Although he has never been a spotlight DJ such as Oakenfold, he possesses the material to present some serious tunes that could move almost anyone! Dresden has never been disappointing in any mix I've heard, and I strongly believe that he is on his way to the top with Oakenfold and Van Dyk. Trust in Dave 'the Wave'; Transit is a true masterpiece that is ultimately an essential in electronic music. I particularily like how Dresden is able to take familiar/mainstream tunes and add touches of magical vibes that keep it unique and entertaining. I GUARANTEE you'll enjoy it (if you like electronic music of course)!"
