Amazon.com Ready for House Music 101? Meet your professor, the king of house himself, Todd Terry. Terry is the New York DJ who found himself in the nursery of a brand-new genre back in the mid '80s. That still-awkward marriage of hip-hop and disco eventually came to be known as house music. The first disc is a detailed walk through the house that Terry built. Many of the tracks here are his own and those that aren't sport the bangin' sound that Terry made popular. Disc two, also set to a pulsing house beat, features a discussion on the music's early beginnings with three of the genre's founding fathers: Jesse Saunders, Little Louis Vega, and Frankie Knuckles. What's more, the liner notes alone provide ample reading on Terry and the contributions he's made to house. Cliffs Notes has yet to issue a summary of house-music history, but until they do, this collection will definitely suffice. --Courtney Reimer Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Very Excellent Mix! 08/25/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "The title says it all: ...MOVEMENT!!! You cannot sit still from moment one. This is everything that Resolutions, Tee's current release, isn't. There are those awesome vocal tracks with blistering rhythm in between and all all around. Todd Terry has performed magic with his non-stop selection. It all makes sense and feels great. In fact, sitting in traffic isn't so bad with this collection in the tray. (Warning: have an extra set of fuses available just in case you get carried away with the volume.)The accompanying interview disc is even quite interesting--like one long NPR segment. If anyone has any of the other discs in the House Music series, I'd be interested in your input. I can't tell much from the RealPlayer bytes." Finally Todd Terry puts it all together. houserat | Syracuse, NY USA | 04/18/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been waiting a while to find a mix done by Todd Terry. Until now all I've only heard him do regular albums. Well I'm pleased to say this album bounces. Todd Terry has been doing house music for a long time and finally I've heard a set from him that puts him up with the best. He's got some really nice house music mixed in this set. Since he's be making his own stuff for years I was wondering if he'd include some of it in his mixes. In this mix he does and it works well with the rest of the set. There is even some vocal house in this set and that goes well too. There seems to be a taboo about vocal house music, as if it wasn't real house music. My opinion is some is good and some is not. The stuff in this set is good and doesn't take away from the mix one bit. Martha Walsh has been singing to house beats for years and has done more than one selection with Todd Terry. I'm glad Todd included her in this set. The one cut in this set that I find myself listening to the most is "Set it Off." This has a booming beat and is high energy. Ironic it should come at the end of the album. After hearing this I wanted another hour added to the 1:12 minutes of Todd Terry genius. CD2 has more of the House Music Movement history of House music, great for the house music enthusiast. Blackout baby......."
