CD Reviews
Missunderstood.

"How can people get this albums ranking down to 3!!! Funkyhouse Hed Kandi fans the lot of them!!. Stick to listening to Eric Prydz and Stonebridge.!!
If they actually took the trouble to read the interviews they might see where MAW are coming from with this comp. They wanted to take it back to the days of mad mix tapes and at the same educate us with classic 94 house and some modern new cuts (a big challenge to take on).
CD1 is one of the greatest mixes that came out in 2004!! Mr V is the new lick!! and the Dope goes back medley is the pinnacle of this CD.
CD2 slows down a bit admittedly but you have to be patient with it and it will grow on you.
Excellent KD and LV."
An ESSENTIAL for every self-proclaimed, unashamed HOUSEHEAD.

"I bought this CD over a month ago and haven't even gotten a chance to listen to the second OR third discs all the way through because the first one is LOCKIN LIKE THAT. I certainly don't understand less than a stellar review, but please take my word for it...out of all those tracks you will find SOMETHING that you like (if not become dependent upon), and it is well worth the buy. :)"
Excellent CD

"I dont know about that previous review because cd1 is probably the best mixed cd i have heard all year. Hard post-nuyorican sound yes and I agree the second cd and third cd is stuff we all heard over and over again. However cd1 makes this 3cd set worthwhile and for those who are new to MAW you will enjoy cd2 and cd3. In the age of progressive, hard house and trance this cd is a wanted relief from a constant dosage of this music in the clubs. This cd takes you back to how house used to be."
Excellent!

"I pick up MAW albums without any hesitation because my past expeience has always been very pleasing, so I picked up this one as soon as I saw it in the store (I didnt even listen to it). The album is very disappointing. No good flow, the track selection is poor and it doesnt get you moving at all. I recommend you better save your money for something else, even though it is from the past summer, Juniorjack/Kid Creme in the house is 5 times better than this album.
It has become very difficult to get a good house compilation lately and the best names comtinue to surprise me with very poor albums. I would also recommend "el divino ibiza 03" and "saaed & palash - additive beats" if you still want to listen good house music."
