 Retro Raves for Dreamland May 2, 2009
I looked for this CD for sometime. It was a costly investment, but because of my deep affection for that cd, I parted with the money to obtain it. It came shortly after I ordered it and was in almost perfect condition.
Chock full of memorable club hits anchored (anonymously) by the robust Martha Wash October 18, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
One of the strongest and best known dance albums of the early 90s, thanks, in largely unheralded part, to the windstorm-inducing singing of Martha Wash, who blows things away with the huge club hits "Strike It Up", "Everybody Everybody", and "I Don't Know Anybody Else." There's also some guesting here by Salsoul disco diva Loleatta Holloway. And when you and your lover get tired of dancing your butts off to the above mentioned hits, head off to a little place where the two of you can be alone, and chill to the soothing sounds of the sublime instrumental "Ghost Box."
 Better than your average dance album April 18, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Dance pop: Usually you get about 2 great hit tracks and a whole bunch of boring filler you never listen to. Not the case with this one. Sure, you'll know the big hits "Everybody Everybody", "I Don't Know Anybody Else" and "Strike it Up", but there's some others worth your time here, too.
HIGHLIGHTS:
"Everybody Everybody" appears in the Top 40 single edit here, along with Martha Wash's orgasmic wailing opening for "I Don't Know Anybody Else". "Fantasy", a 'go after your dreams' number, is surprisingly solid and probably could have been a single. The Brand New Heavies' Loleatta Holloway guests on the sizzling "Ride on Time". The midtempo throb of "Hold On"'s "Co-caine..co-caine...to go straight to your brain" will also embed itself. Final single "Strike it Up" is another good one with Wash tearing it up on vocals and a rap that doesn't sound horribly out of date (unlike, say "Ya Kid K" does these days...)
LOW POINTS:
The title track is a dull instrumental...you'll never really turn to it on purpose. "Open Your Eyes" is also a bit of a snoozer. "Ghost Box" sounds like a Kenny G outtake. It's completely out of place here and I'm not sure what producer "Groove Groove Melody" was thinking other than possibly "Gee..I've only got 8 songs so far. I better put at least ONE more on there or people will think it's a rip-off."
BOTTOM LINE:
Even with the short run time, it's one of the better dance CDs I've heard and I still pull it out from time to time. For a genre with usually little longevity, this one continues to sound pretty good. Recommended.
