5.0 out of 5 stars
Slightly more eclectic than "2 manyDj's",with a rougher edge, 18 Aug 2004

By the same people that brought you the "Too Many Dj's Pt 2", these series of bootleg albums (5 in total), adhere to the same principal as "Too many dj's" but the mix's here are far more wider reaching in the genres used. (Avant-guitar group "Sonic Youth", Synth-poppers "The Human League", Art-Rock group "Devo").
But because this isn't a commercial release, more chances are taken with the mix, and although the feel is a little 'Rougher around the edges'. hearing "The Prodigy's - Poison mixed into "The Rolling Stones - Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow" is a truly sublime moment,and although the actual mix is anything but perfect, it (at the very least) deserves a nod of respect for even attempting to mix the two distinctly different musical styles, and somehow managing to pull it off (slightly wonkily).
And this mean feat is only topped by "The Chemical Brothers - Under The Influence" masterfully dropped into "Adam and the ant's - Stand and Deliver", to make a dance-floor mix-mash-up tune, of pure distinction and leaves know doubt in your mind, as to why you've seeked these albums out in the first place.
If you have started to collect the multitude of "2 many Dj's" / "Hang All Dj's" albums, then this continues the experimentation and fusing of distinctly different genres. The asking price for these albums is indeed quite expensive, but if you like any of the "2 many / Hang all Dj's" albums, there's nothing here to disuade you. Sure the mixing isn't as polished as "2 many Dj's part 2", but then that was a general commerical release. These are bootlegs through & through, and so what it lacks in studio polish, it makes up for with new ideas & genre splicing.
And if the slightly high asking price, and the rough edges doesn't deter you (and why should it, if your a fan of these bootleg mash-ups), then this is easily one of the best mix cd's of recent years.

This C.D. continues in the fine tradition of all the SoulWax recordings; a great mishmash of dance music from all different genres.This one includes a lot of oldies, but goodies ( i.e.-Devo, B-52's); kind of a walk down memeory lane.Excellently mixed as always. If you are looking for a DJ mix of current hits; this is not it.Very entertaining if you have broad musical taste that go back a few years.
