Hed Kandi Disco Heaven

Hed Kandi Disco Heaven October 2007



Well the new Hed Kandi is out...I am not sure whether I want to hate these now as they have just got worse and worse and just so commercial. Sometimes I think that people's tracks get on here because they are friends with whoever compiles them..
A few of these tracks are good but that will always be the case with a compilation. It just seems to not hit the mark for me, it is that 'funky' house music that for some reason doesn't 'have it' It is hard to explain what 'it' is but all the albums I have posted so far have 'it' and this one doesn't!
I find it strange how a song can have a bass, percussion and all the other attributes that make up a house tune but manage to lack soul?? Aha! Maybe that's what it is...I can find soul in music from all over the place from any genre but when I listen to this album I just hear the same old rubbish. Boring meaningless lyrics seem to be consistent all the way through or maybe they seem so because of the dated funky house production? Of course this is my opinion and could be subject to change.

The only 'highlights' here for me are the remake of Shannon's classic hit 'Let The Music Play' which I think works. 'Mi Amor' by Paul Rincon also seems ok because the vocal is quite interesting.. The My Friend Sam new mix of 'It's My Pleasure' works ok-possibly because of the familiar vocal and lyrics or maybe down to the nice old skool sounding piano? Finally, Alan Braxe and Chris Menace with their electric 80's tune 'Lumberjack'

My advice-go buy any other album featured on this blog so far, especially the Southport Weekender one with Kerri Chandler!
