Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Alice Deejay are the all-female Dutch group who wooed Europe in 99 with a particularly nasty strain of trance-by-numbers. From out of nowhere, they released the singles "Better Off Alone" and "Back In My Life", atrocities that managed to infiltrate every youth club and boutique from Reading to Rotterdam. The arrogantly titled Who Needs Guitars Anyway is an album worth of similar crimes against humanity. It'll come as no surprise to hear that, of the 14 tracks here, there's little in the way of variation. Most songs (and the term is used generously) consist of dumbed-down saccharine riffs, simple, two-fingered Hi-NRG basslines and the kind of metronomic beats that would keep a hypnotist happy for years. The singing is equally loathsome, revelling in its attempts to exert cutesy adolescent angst over the anodyne backing tracks. Perky synth lines, crashing cymbals and funny whooshing noises might be all the rage at seven year old's birthday parties, but really, this kind of Fisher Price trance makes Sash! sound like Beethoven and is best avoided.--Paul Tierney

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wicked Album 17 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
"Better Off Alone" was a wicked and catchy tune, it's one of my favourite songs on the album, then came, "Back in my life","Will i Ever", "The Lonely One", and "Celebrate our Love". All these made you want to get up and dance. I've also bought albums this year from Fragma, Sash, and Vengaboy's (Big Mistake), and Alice deejay's album is definately the best out of them all! I think that all of the songs on the album are really good and you've got to have talent to be able to produce dance tunes like that!

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD has stayed in my car autochanger since I bought it!! 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
... cos it's fantastic! So there are 5 singles on this album which have been released so far - Better Off Alone - Back In Your Life - Will I Ever - The Lonely One and Celebrate Our Love... the album version of Celebrate Our Love isn't as instantly catchy, but it's still a highlight of the album. As for the album version of The Lonely One... it's almost identical to the radio version, but a little smoother, and in my opinion, it gets you moving even more!!! It's the song on the album which I play over and over! Waiting For Your Love also kicks some serious butt :o) If you liked any of the singles, I'd definitely recommend this. If you're wanting it for Celebrate Our Love, have a listen to the album version first. This album is a real classic... I can assure you - you won't be disappointed!

By David Gore
Format:Audio CD
I shouldn't even be reviewing this Cd, i am 34 and don't even like dance music but it's one of the best Cd's i have, it's just straightforward catchy uplifting music with no strings attatched, the singles everyone knows but the rest of it is pretty excellent too, give it a go
