wow! this CD really took me back! after watching the TV series pump up the volume, i had to get the CD. Taking you back to the mid to late 80's when house music first took itself into the club scene. with classic tracks like Voodoo ray and Big fun! You cant help but remember these classic tunes! It is brilliant! Just a shame that they put ATB track on the end! but there you go!
Id suggest buying it anyday!

There is some rare vinyl on this CD, which is great for the collector as many have been unobtainable for years. It's a nice memento of the Channel 4 series, and it's a fair selection. But not all of them are relevant to 'House' history. Many early British house attempts were positively dreadful, especially their appearance on pop programmes.
Born in Manchester, I lived and worked in the city centre throughout the mid 80's to early 90's. Most of my lunch hours were spent listening and buying imported US house records in shops like 'The Spin Inn', 'Expansion Records' and 'Eastern Bloc'. Until 'Rave' appeared, these shops shunned if not joked about a lot of early British house. S'Express or Ezee Posse may have charted, but I don't recall it ever being played in the Hacienda or on 'Stu Allan's House Hour' on local Sunday night radio, so I don't see these tracks as being part of the 'History' or even part of the development of the genre.
The programme was pretty informative, but when it moved from Chicago it became disjointed and this reflects on the CD. So it's worth mentioning at this point, that although some clubs, especially the Hacienda, immersed itself in 'Acid House', the sound really grew outside of clubland, exposing itself to the popular press and resulting in controversy, making the sound short lived. 'Rave' however, was club based. Obscure venues like 'Shelly's' in Stoke on Trent, and 'Oz' in Blackpool became the place to be and attracted people nationwide. Superstar DJ's weren't attracting people back then because there was no such thing, [and there shouldn't be now!]. People went, because these were the only venues where you could dance to this music, and those sounds are really missing from this CD. It would give it a better vibe and give the listener a better idea of how 'House' has developed. Especially in this country.
It's hard to imagine now, a nightclub not playing a 'House' record of some kind. You couldn't even hear it on national radio! Yet it had been around for a couple of years. I remember being in the [then] small queue outside the Hacienda once, and being laughed at by a bunch of lads, all 'suited and booted' on their way to the Ritz further up the street, because we were actually 'queuing' to get into a club.
Could something like that happen again? Will there be a 'Next big thing'?

This is one of my favourite albums ever but when I lost my copy I had to buy another. Here they are selling them used and new. I wish I'd bought a new one as my used one was a bit scratched. Anyway this is an essential album that you need in your collection, just check out the amazing track listing. Perfect for any party or just to make you feel good!
