Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

On first inspection you could be forgiven for thinking this was just a chill-out album, as Dave Seaman seems to be returning to the area he explored on his Back To Mine pick 'n' mix selection. However, slowly and insidiously the tempo picks up and you find yourself in a deep house/trance paradise, a paradise of gently pulsing and utterly compelling beats. This isn't full-on in-yer-face pounding trance of the kind peddled by the likes of ATB and Ferry Corsten; Dave Seaman's selection represents a softer, far more pleasant option that comes courtesy of Kinesis and BT, both of whom feature here in all their glory. The second CD is a bit more up-tempo than the first--but both are equally beguiling in their mixture of beats and wooshes. All that remains for you to decide is whether to nod or to dance. The choice is yours. --Helen Marquis

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best dance compliation of the year., 7 Dec 2000

Kevin Roast "shkwav" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Renaissance Presents Awakening Dave Seaman (Audio CD)

I have most of the Renaissance box sets (expect for Vol3 where it all went a bit Pete Tong) and reguarly buy the Global Underground comps, and I have to say, this is the best house/trance comp I've seen for the last couple of years. Fantastic mixing with inspired track choices have put this right at the top of my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars quite simply the best dance album i have ever heard, 7 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Renaissance Presents Awakening Dave Seaman (Audio CD)

progresssive, funky and plays with your mind. go and buy this album, and I guarantee that tyou will still be listening to it in your dotage. Every track is a winner, the sequence and mixing are flawless. If u have ever been to a rEnaissance club night, relive it with this slice of pure liquid melody. The best 15 quid i have ever spent

5.0 out of 5 stars A fluid technical collection, 7 May 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Renaissance Presents Awakening Dave Seaman (Audio CD)

Dave Seaman has created a blend of progressive tunes that is unique and sophisticated. The music continuously innovates and demonstrates a depth of quality and as such, almost takes the listener on a journey. Though the trance is not as hard as Matt Darey, it is epic and more cultured. A versatile compilation.

Have to say I was not pushed on this compilation...repetitive trance and few standout tracks. Go for Dave's Global Underground series instead.

The songs are all about even though, no specifics that stand out too much other than the good tracks with vocals at the ends of both cd's. Read more

CD 1 introduces the listener to some easy going housey moves whilst CD2 gets those feet moving with fast, but not necessarily hard, progressive types. Awesome!
