Back to Kandi
I agree with the reviewer below in that some of HK's recent releases have been slightly dodgy and appear to be cashing in on the rise in popularity of funky house music. Die hard fans have been complaining for months about the acquisition of the brand from ailing and tyrannical parent MoS, but it seems that the producers of this album have been given a more free reign to take HK back to its roots. br /I'm glad CD1 wasn't reprasentative of the whole album, with lots of fairly commercial "heard it all before" tracks, only saved by decent mixing, however CD2 and 3 are subliminal. Never have Hed Kandi been this funky, the only comparison I can think of is HK: The Mix 50, another brilliant compilation. Tracks from Dervish, Bel Amour, Doc Da Funk, Stonebridge Funky Junction leave the listener in no doubt that this is a high quality selection of tracks. br /If you are a newcomer to the label or have been fed up of Hed Kandi's post-2006 compilations then this is definitely worth purchasing.

Save The Best Till Last...
The 1st CD (Twisted Disco) is pretty cool but the Aussie's do electro so much better... br / br /The 2nd CD (DIsco Kandi) is boring and really commercial and over played. Feel like I'm listening to Ministry of Sound Annual.. br / br /The 3rd CD (Disco Heaven) OMG! Wow! It's amazing... Classic house with the most stunning vocals I've heard since the Disco Heaven release in October. I feel so blessed that twice in one year we got Disco Heaven. My favourite tracks are: br / br /* The Cure The Cause br /* Get Down br /* Inside Out br /* Don't Wanna Go Home br /* Good Lovin' br /* Doo Doo Wap br /* Stand Up br / br /It's worth just buying the whole compilation for the 3rd CD. It's Fabulous and so camp... I love it! xxx

Another Kandi Mix but a lil better this time
This Kandi mix is not perfect.CD1 sounds a bit to commercial and CD2 has 3/4 good tunes. CD3 was a real surprise as it reminds me the good old Kandi era. It's worth buying it but mainly for CD3.

Nearly there Hed Kandi ...
Recent Hed Kandi releases have been poor, too many dud tracks and weird mixes. br /This latest Kandi offering is almost back to the good old Hed Kandi days ... a good selection of tracks, well mixed and nicely packaged. There are quite a few tracks which are not exactly new - Dont Wanna Go Home by Dos Palomas Negras is ace but has been around for a bit, as has No Promises by Hott 22. br /Despite this though, this is a worthwhile purchase. CD's 2 and 3 are great, and CD1 though not exactly what I like is still pretty good - Hed Kandi may well be coming good again .. fingers crossed!!!

2 out of 3 aint bad
First CD is a dissapointment but has got its good mixing moments. br /however I had to skip some songs that I found to be really annoying. br /Track 9 - pure torture. Wasn't the best choice. and some at the end. br /They really damages the mix to be played all through. br /count this one as 2 mixes 1-8, 10-14. 15 was ok but not for my taste. br / br /Second CD is 100% a goldmine. All through a party CD to really dance to. br / br /Third CD great selection even if the mixes are not completely 100% well done. I had maybe too high expectations about how the mixes were done. br /I do not like however areas without any beats for a long period. br /Even if in some areas can feel like a "teatime break". br /70% party feel here. br / br /Usually one makes its own remixes and then mix em up together. br /That's why there are other mixes on CD's that are better fit to mix if like Hed Kandi doesnt feel like mixing the songs together for a longer period. br / br /Overall it was worth the money every step of the way even though it wasnt br /100% - this time
