Looooove this album. Obviously a complete rip-off of the Pete Tong concept but I prefer a lot of the song choices on here - my favourites are L'amour Toujours, United (never even heard the original of this!), Das Boot and Rhythm Is A Dancer, all so good.

Interesting that Alex C is behind such a classily arranged album, seeing as he is also responsible for gems such as Sweetest Ass In The World and the 2009 Eurovision entry Miss Kiss Kiss Bang

UNITED



Original by Prince Ital Joe feat Marky Mark (1994)

Its funny how I was considering sending United last month on BJSC...the original one!!!

Posted by: frAddy Crouger 20th October 2017, 08:23 PM

And actually I am impatienly waiting for Redemption cover

Posted by: LewisTScream 22nd October 2017, 12:56 PM

OK I have finally had chance to listen to some of these tracks and I am in love. I want the physical copy but I'm not paying nearly £20 for an import! So I hope it gets a proper UK release.

Paul Kold Remix of Rhythm Is A Dance is now available

Posted by: gooddelta 27th August 2018, 09:10 AM

The second volume of this album will be out on October 19th, recorded recently at Abbey Road studios, here's a trailer:



Oops at the video suggesting Alex C 'invented' the classical meets dance genre. Poor brave ripped-off Pete Tong.

Anyway, I'm really really excited to hear this, the first volume was one of my favourite albums of 2017. The tracklisting looks promising too, and quite surprising, currently trying to get my head around Melanie C singing what I presume is ATC's Around The World, seeing as Alex C wrote and produced the original of that track, and Anastacia belting out Mr Vain Medina on Listen To Your Heart could be quite gorgeous too.

Full tracklist:

1. Blue (feat Bars & Melody)
2. Around The World (feat Melanie C)
3. Another Night (feat Anastacia)
4. Because I Love You (feat Pietro Lombardi)
5. Mr. Vain (feat Anastacia & Ski)
6. Feels Like In Heaven
7. Don't Talk Just Kiss (feat Melanie C)
8. Sandstorm
9. Everybody's Free (feat Linda Teodosiu)
10. More and More (feat Beymarie)
11. Insomina (feat Ski)
12. Listen To Your Heart (feat Medina)
13. Something (feat Asja Ahatovic)
14. Adagio For Strings

Oh man this sounds amazing, can't wait!

Fairly certain it was Haçienda Classical that came first in terms of this whole sort of thing

Posted by: lewistgreen 27th August 2018, 06:38 PM

First single coming on Friday

Posted by: gooddelta 27th August 2018, 06:49 PM

Yes you're quite right, completely forgot about that!

-------

As an aside, I'm not really sure about Bars & Melody being on Blue based on the clip in the trailer video as I find their voices a little bit weedy to go alongside an orchestra. But maybe it will sound good in full.

Posted by: gavindeejay 27th August 2018, 07:15 PM

Bars and Melody

I’m intrigued by the Melanie C and Anastasia collabs. I wonder if Pete Tomg will release another album this year?

Posted by: Bré 27th August 2018, 07:27 PM

An orchestral version of 'Sandstorm' sounds pretty interesting.

Posted by: lewistgreen 30th August 2018, 08:38 PM

Blue is out tomorrow!

Posted by: lewistgreen 1st September 2018, 01:38 PM

Terrible as to be expected :’)

Posted by: gavindeejay 1st September 2018, 02:01 PM

Oh dear

Posted by: lewistgreen 14th September 2018, 05:22 AM

This is better! Melanie sounding amazing

Posted by: gooddelta 14th September 2018, 01:06 PM

!

Not into Blue but yasss at Around The World, omg at Melanie C singing this legendary slice of cheddar!

Posted by: lewistscream 4th October 2018, 06:05 PM

Another Night is out tomorrow

Posted by: lewistscream 5th October 2018, 06:10 AM

Another Night is probably the best so far. Anastasia sounding great!

Posted by: lewistscream 7th October 2018, 10:54 AM

Posted by: lewistscream 21st October 2018, 02:07 PM

A relatively ok album really. Opening with (or even including) Blue is disastrous Something and Freed From Desire are the clear highlights.






Because I Love You is the next track to receive a video

Posted by: Addy K!ng 21st October 2018, 02:34 PM

Ok my question is why is this called 90's classics when Something and Because I Love You are from different decades, or am I wrong?

Posted by: lewistscream 21st October 2018, 02:58 PM

No you’re right, quite a few of the tracks are from early 2000s

Posted by: gooddelta 22nd October 2018, 02:56 PM

Hmmm, this is not as good as the first album, maybe the songs used are just more obvious this time as I quite liked a few of the lesser known 90s songs on the first edition. Or maybe the concept has just been done to death.

I like the Melanie C tracks, Another Night, Freed From Desire and Listen To Your Heart but not really as much as I loved the highlights from the first edition.

THIRD ALBUM INCOMING *.* Pete Tong found rotting

Posted by: Addy K!ng 6th October 2019, 03:10 PM

Never noticed before how similiar Linda's and Natasha voices are lol.

And are these successful in Germany after all...like it's gotta be since it's in 3rd edition and most of them have music video etc. etc. but I would like to know their chart performance?!

Posted by: lewistgreen 6th October 2019, 03:37 PM

First album went to #10 in Germany and the second got to #4! The individual tracks haven’t had much impact at all but Rhythm Is A Dancer from the first album got to #6 on iTunes there in 2017.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 6th October 2019, 03:48 PM

That's not bad actually, no wonder he is working on 3rd edition.

Yeah as expected, singles won't have any impact...just as same as Pete Tong's no?

Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd October 2019, 09:40 PM

That intro *.* and interesting to see them draw on Maggie Reilly’s original track

Posted by: lewistgreen 26th October 2019, 09:28 PM

Posted by: lewistgreen 6th November 2019, 09:41 PM

Album now available, must give it a spin at some point

Posted by: gooddelta 10th November 2019, 06:14 PM

Each one is less good than the last, I guess the material is drying up, but I still love the concept and enjoyed quite a few of the songs on here, especially Believe, Heaven (though DJ Sammy's version was not from the 90s), Wonderful Dream, Everytime We Touch and The Sign.
