I heard "HERE IT GOES AGAIN" on the radio and knew I had to get this.  I bought it and was at first disappointed by the other songs, but they quickly grew on me.  This is a very good Sophmore effort.  An A for OK Go.

My favorite songs:

Here It Goes Again

Do What You Want

Let It Rain

A Good Idea At the Time

Crash and Burn

1> LIVING HIGH AND MIGHTY
Fun and funky sounding beats, to the point of quirky, but you will be singing the chorus over and over, as it gets to you!

2> INTO THE NIGHT LIFE
Semi disco and techno song, with a very weird bass line during the verses that sound more like I am at a bad rave (with its woov woov) drone. But then disappears for the chorus (thank God)!

3> ROCKING CHAIR
My personal favorite! Reminds me very much of "Iko-Iko", with very funny down south type sung lyrics with a background singer echoing back what she says in an "Everyday People" type way by Arrested Development.

4> ECHO
Repetitive lyrics, but then..it is an echo! Catchy and fun and it grows on you quickly! Minimal song that songs like it was played on a tiny Casio!

5> LYFE
R&B flavoured medium paced songs, grows on you too...later!

6> SAME OL STORY
Disco tinged beat with a flangy guitar in the back. Drops the "F" bomb over and over again, hence the Parental Warning on the CD!

7> RAGING STORM
Definitely a unique combination of beats going on here.

8> LAY ME DOWN
A little dark beat here on this continually moving song

9> GIVE IT UP
Hard driving Disco song. Her voice is lower in octaves here, and it is nice to see a more mature range from her.

10> SET YOUR HEART
Disco beat again, I really like when on the chorus she hits a nice falsetto on "will freeeee", very pretty.

11> GRAB A HOLD
Trying a vibratto here with a blend of first album mousey squeakiness, Time After Time'ish. But faster. Great hooky chorus.

12> a Faster ballad. I love this song, it a very pretty and I like the lyrics.

OVERALL: If you are used to Cyndi's quirkiness, then you will be glad she is 'back' this is more like the "She's So Unusual" album. The music ranges from fast to medium to slow. The songwriting musically is nothng fancy, in fact it is often sparse and filled more with odd grooves and sounds. Her vocal ranges hits most of her 3 octave range but isn't a She Boppy as in the 80's.

I LOVE THE 80's myself like no other! and I have ALWAYS LOVE CYNDI, she is one of the few that represent what the 80's was TRULY about!

BUY IT? If you love Cyndi? YES!
In the mood for something different? YES!
Who would like it? 80's fans, teens, your mother

This is up there with one of my favorite Just Dance versions! I almost didn't buy it because it's not one of the "main" ones, but for me, the particular songs and choreography were amazing, and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!

This is easily one of Tarkan's best albums yet! The music is high-energy, dance-club-ready and lots of fun to listen to! He has a few ballads on here to show off his beautiful voice, but overall the tracks are pop music that's very danceable. I'm glad his newest release is FANTASTIC, but I would also love to see another English album from this versatile artist...

I enjoy listening to this CD. It has a nice variety of slow and fast dance songs. I love "Speak Softly Love" and track #3 "Your kind of Love". Great music :)

This single is PHAT. DJ Jean has a particularly cool remix, but the original will make you get your groove on like nothing else. Half techno, half disco, this tune moved me! Clear the dance floor!

I remember one time I heard the 12" Club Mix of this I was in a club talking to a hotty.  When I heard this, I had a good excuse to get us both on the dance floor.  The beat felt great and this song contributed to one  of the best nights I had ever experienced while dancing.  I couldn't wait  to get the CD for myself.  This is a great one to get everyone going at a  party, as well as a great song to listen to while in the car cruising.  I  would recomemd this to anyone who wants a sexy dance track with a great  beat!!

Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" is one diehard dance song that just makes you move and sing along. This is a good one.

Village People, Tavares and other Disco "heroes" have some of their best Hits included in this album.  The sound quality is quite good, considering that some tracks seem to be taken from the original (or well dubbed) tapes.
Also included in this CD, that marvelous piece titled "Native New Yorker" by Odyssey, a song that is both Disco and Soul at the same time. I really love it!

I at first thought his latest album was going to be more dance music but I was quite surprised after listening to track samples. Compared to Singh's previous CD Anokha, OK is less dance or techno but the music is fluid and  soothing. I liked the tracks I listened to and I think Talvin Singh does a  good job of combining classical Indian music w/ Western beats and sounds.  What you have to remember is that Anokha is compilation of works done by  DJs and mixmasters and OK is totally Singh's work. Sure the music from his  new CD may not be Bhangra, but the music still has the beats and rhythm  that makes you drawn to the music. So what if it's not Bhangra, there's too  much of that lately.

God this is a guilty pleasure...more so than my Pet Shop Boys, Melody Club or other such albums. With all that aside, though, it's still a very good dance-pop album with a couple problems. Sure it's very cheesy and a guilty pleasure, but the guy sings with true heart and soul (although he's not that likable - I have a very open mind but he's not that good), and the beats are usually fantastic. Sometimes his voice gets a little annoying, but it's generally alright. You can tell these guys listen to the Pet Shop Boys an awful lot. Every song here is "good", though none are great ("Let's Take One More Rocket To The Moon" is arguably great). The lyrics tend to be pretty interesting which definitely helps things a great deal. This is essentially ONLY for dance-pop fans, though, and they will probably love it (though I MUCH prefer the Pet Shop Boys to Erasure). All things aside, however, I would definitely recommend this to dance-pop fans!

Highlights include:
the entire album!

"You Can Do It" and "Music" were huge club and party hits back in the day and to my ears, these two tunes are just as strong now as they were when they were released in 1979. I have both tunes on 12" and got playing them after they came up in a conversation with a friend. I found myself playing them over and over again and it eventually dawned on me that I finally needed to get them on CD.

The biggest surprise was how much I liked all the other tunes on the album. "Now That I Found You", "Guess You Didn't Know", "Come Dance With Me" and "I Am Under Your Spell" are all very interesting songs, well produced and with great vocal performances, especially from the brilliant Alicia Myers. I'm so glad I got this on CD and can't get seem to get it out of my car now. If you're a lover of the great music from the 80s, put this on your must-have list before it goes out of print. These kinds of albums usually do.

This is the first number one Club track hit for the duo of Friburn & Urik. This song is probably their best song they have done. The cd single comes in 5 mixes . The Electribe radio(3:42) and full mix(6:39) are my favorite. It is just as the title explains a electro type of remix. Then you get the Tribalistic radio(3:50) and full mix(9:23) and it too is very Tribal house in style. Then you get the wonderful Peter Bailey mix(7:17) and this is too the point and with a lot of energy. I swear the vocals are a distortion of the Grace Jones track "Slave To The Rhythm" where she goes "dance to the rhythm". I don't know because there is no credit given. A number one Billboard dance hit.

I got this song from another DJ Spinna podcast.  All hail DJ Spinna!!! Anyway, this is a great, mellow track for cruzing in your car, or having a nice gathering and you want some good music to mellow/chill out to.
