CD Reviews

All the full length mixes, non-beatmixed. A must for collect
Daniel W. Kelly | Long Island, NY United States | 09/20/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"HUGE exclusive Almighty mixes on this disc. Things kick off with a hi-nrg cover of what's basically a cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis, renamed as "This is the World We Live In" based on the first line of the chorus. Dannii Minogue's awesome "I Begin to Wonder" gets an sort of hi-nrg trance mix that's isn't as good as the original, but still worth having. What follows are an assortment of vocal anthems, from NRG to trancey to more progressive-check out the slammin track by Louise. Lately is Samantha Mumba's mellow, pretty house cover of the Divine track Lately. CD 2 starts with a new version of Elton John's Your Song-and it's such a blatant rip off of the gorgeous arrangement used in Moulin Rouge that they should have just used Ewan McGregor's far superior vocal take-Elton just sounds entirely bored on this version. Another remix of Abbacadabra's SOS (always interesting and catchy) is followed by some major exclusive stuff, including the full remix of the Supremes "You Keep Me hangin On," a Softcell classic (no, not that one), Donna Summer (they should just leave I Feel Love alone and let the original masterpiece speak for itself), as well as some cover version of: Dolly/Whitney's I Will Always Love You, Pointer Sisters' Jump, Madonna's Like a Prayer (a better mix of the Madhouse version than the original), Diana Ross's Chain Reaction, and the often covered I Am What I Am, this time by diva Hannah Jones.

Energizing Music

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was so happy to get this cd. 2 cds, 22 hits and all very energizing. "Almighty Downunder Volume 3" is an awsome collection of almighty remixes of original artists and their hits as wells as covers of hit songs (such as "S.O.S."[Abba/covered by Abbacadabra], "Somebody Told Me"[The Killers/covered by 3 a.m. featuring Tracey Cole], "I Will Always Love You"[Whitney Houston/covered by Sarah Washington], "Jump" [The Pointer Sisters/Girls Aloud] and more.



I specifically enjoyed the almighty remixes of Elton John's "Your Song", Alcazar's "This Is The World We Live In" and Soft Cell's "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye". They were very uplifting.



All in all an exciting collection of songs that want make you move."
