"This particular albums sales are to benefit Geared for Life - a Detroit area non-profit organization whose purpose is to produce events to raise funds for local organizations to provide services for people affected by HIV/Aids. With that said, this is a great dance album. Track 1 begins with your typical "Diva House" vocal from Inaya Day. Things start to groove with Soulstice on track 2. On Track 3, Purple God switches to a disco flavor. Track 4 has a steady beat with some good vocals. I love vocals in my dance music and this continues through the next few tracks. Tracks 8 & 9 get funky again with Flip Flop. Track 10 switches back to "Diva House" type vocals and rounds out nicley on track 11 featuring Pepper Mashay, of "lets get soaking wet" fame, as she adds her distinctive house chants. Track 12 ends with a neat re-mix of an old Pat Bennetar favorite Invicible however the vocals are provided by Sevana Stone. All and all, it's a great listen and the beat doesn't break down too much with too many breaks of that odd silence found on many dance and trance albums.I just picked this one up because I loved the cover art, but sinec I was so pleased with this, I'm thinking of getting a few more of the Party Groove series!"
