 BUY + LISTEN |
CLUB AMERICA VOL. 1 MIXED BY TREVOR SIMPSON (UBL RECORDINGS) |
| |
I know the chief point of music like this is to get up
and dance, to provide the soundtrack to a party or
whatnot, but it's always a tad disappointing when you
pop in the CD and the music, ultimately, feels like it
has no appeal beyond as beat driven tunage for a BYOB
get-together. Don‚t get me wrong, I'm a bobbing fool
head off listening to this, but that‚s just it. This
and a couple of drinks will get you going on the dance
floor or living room floor or whatever but it doesn't
have so much in the way of just-listening-to-it
appeal. It's got strong beats supplying the pulse to
lackluster pop anthems, leaving this a CD to purchase
only if you have to get the party started. And for
that matter, why can't you just buy a great trance or
house CD that has a point to its existence beyond just
party background music? Stuff you can listen to for
itself, where the music itself is the point? I mean,
this doesn't suck, but it could've used some stepping
up. It's a good party CD, no more and no less. Unless
you're a club music junky.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
