Tranceport3 (2000)
That’s right, I’m having a little introduction to electronica/dance/trance/whatever else you call this. I’ve run out of rock records, and a friend of mine was kind enough to allow me to borrow some CDs to listen to and review. Keep in mind I’ve never reviewed anything like this before, and also that after listening to it I discovered the songs all sort of melded together in a way, not good or bad just…interesting. Track 1 can safely be skipped, I’d say. The rest of it sounds pretty darn good, although after 2 listens I still have no idea where one song ends and another begins. Then again, that’s the POINT of some club music- to create a seamless musical world for you to flirt with the opposite sex in. If, like myself, you prefer your music to be enjoyable without the benefit of drugs or hormones, this may not be the best buy for you. I like it…but when it comes down to it, it’s club music, and there are probably many, MANY more albums that are as good as this or better. Which is very good for me, as I like this one well enough just on its own.
