- Ultra Dance 02

This collection of Ultra Dance 02 (featuring various artists) is a solid collection of various dance and trance music from the early 2000’s. Some of the following fun songs on this collection; Wanna Be With Me by DaBuzz, Deep Dish vocal remix of Thank You by Dido, Heaven by Dj Sammy & Yanou featuring Do (extended mix), We Are All Made of Stars by Moby (DJ Tiesto Vocal), 643 (Love’s On Fire, Oliver Klein Vocal Mix) by DJ Tiesto feat. Suzanne Palmer, Take Me Away by 4 Strings (Vocal club mix), You’re Not Alone by ATB (2nd Club mix) and more songs. I also like that this is a two cd set with 12 songs on disc one and 13 songs on disc 2.

The song is the best is perptuous dreamer the sound of goodbye

The songs are great, the CDs are in good condition, the case comes in a great condition. Arrived on time.

CD is great

At this very time, I'm listening to this CD. It hasn't left my CD in 2 weeks and love every minute of it. It's a great CD set jam packed with the best songs from around the world. I've always been a fan of DJ Encore and he shows that he has great taste in music. Since I have the first CD in, I'll give you a song by song review (first CD only). 1) Thank You (Deep Dish Vocal Remix) - Dido Rating: 4/5 - A good intro to the CD, not much variation in the song but still offers a good remix. There's one part that has this wierd effect and it hurts my ears. 2) They Say Vision (DJ Encore Remix) - Res Rating: 5/5 - Not until today did I give this song a full listening to and I'm happy I did. The vocals match great with the beat making it one of the best on the CD. 3) We Are All Made of Stars (DJ Tiesto Vocal) - Moby Rating: 3/5 - I've never been a fan of Tiesto and I can't say this song changed my opinion. I liked the song to begin with, but this version seems bland. 4) Heaven (Extended Mix) - DJ Sammy & Yanou feat. Do Rating: 3/5 - This is a good song but it was played so often when it was popular that it seems old now. 5) I See Right Through to You (Pulser Remix) - Dj Encore Rating: 4/5 - The beginning seems to last forever but gets into a good mix. I think it could be improved a little but still worth a listen from time to time. 6) Who Will Love Me (Radio Edit) - Riva feat. Dannii Minogue Rating: 5/5 - Great song! Fast paced with great beat and vocals. I listen to it every time. The song seems so forceful that you can't stop listening to it! 7) Wanna Be With Me - Da Buzz Rating: 2/5 - Granted it has a good chorus, the rest seems pop-ish. A little disappointing. I listen to it every once and a while. 8) Omnibus - Laut Sprecher feat. Katie Skate Rating: 5/5 - My favorite overall. The chorus is amazing and the beat keeps you dancing. The voice does get annoying but is tolerable. I loved German music and this gives me more reason to do so. 9) Fire (Orange Factory Vocal) - Dolce Rating: 2/5 - One word...."DISCO". I felt like I was in the 70's again. It's decent but nothing more. 10) The Sound of Goodbye (Robbie Rivera Vocal) - Perpetuous Dancer Rating: 2/5 - I had heard the regular mix of this song and this version does not do it justice. I recommend the original. 11) Safe from Harm - Narcotic Thrust feat. Yvonne John Lewis Rating: 3/5 - Decent song. Seems almost Caribbean at the beginning. It's a good song but doesn't fit my taste. 12) Sunglasses at Night (Extended) - Tiga & Zyntherius Rating: 2/5 - Repetitive and bland. The first time I listened to it, I kept wondering when it was going to end. Well that's it for CD #1! The first CD is alone worth the price so go for it! You'll love it!

This is a very average 'Dance' CD with very laid back mixes for the most part... Average is not necessarily bad and surely some will grow on you, but nothing will likely give you that 'feeling' you are looking for... maybe 1 or two songs after repeated listenings will grow to become good/very good. While tagging these 2 CD's I did not give any 5/5, a couple received 4/5, several 3/3, and many were not worth ripping at all (I use lossless APE compression and J Rivers Media Center)... I found the least amount of likeable songs on Ultradance 02 as compared to others on the Ultradance series. Ultradance 01 has a lot more classic dance songs, but also very average and not the best Johnny Viscous can do (probably because he was limited to material available for the label). None of these songs are as good as the better Louis Devito and Johnny Vicious's material, although they have their share of duds also. I reccomend this CD, but put it much further down the list than others such as the vastly superior NYC Underground Party series.

Ultra Dance 01 was a great cd, and still is... it's one of those dance comps i will never get tired of... Ultra Dance 02 is following in its footsteps! DJ Encore did a nice job, although nothing special, with the mixing. The track selection is really really good, with a lot of songs that arent on any other mix cd's as of now. Included is the latest song from Da Buzz "Wanna Be With Me"... a love this song. It came out a while ago in europe, this is its first USA release. Great followup to "Let Me Love You Tonight". This cd is worth is just for that one song! 2 cd's of pure hi energy dance music, including some very mainstream tracks and some from the underground, should satisfy every dance music fan! Definitely pick this one up!!

I have to say it is probably the best ultra dance out there. The remixes for "I See Right Through To You" by DJ Encore, and "They Say Vision" by Res were very impressive. Sunglasses at Night wasn't quite going along with the hard dance genre...though. Perpetuous Dreamer's "Sound of Goodbye" Robbie Rivera Remix was a very great track, along with Jam & Spoon's "Be.Angled" Paul Van Dyk Club Mix. DJs@Work's "Someday..." was a more "trancy" track, but it went perfectly into the CD.
