Product Description
Album Description
The first album on the new Fierce Angel label. 33 Full 12" mixes in unmixed format. The album is compiled by Mark Doyle and features the stunning artwork of Jason Brooks. The CD features a selection of tracks that have featured in Mark's DJ sets over the last 3 months. Commercial tracks sit beside brand new exclusive unreleased material and range from cool funky house to darker late night house anthems.
From the Artist
The album contains the tracks that I love. Some are commercial or have already been released and many are complete exclusives. The only criteria is "do I love it" and that's about it. the decision to move to 3 CD's is to offer a wider choice as I got frustrated trying to squeeze my favourite tracks onto 2 Cd's. Instead of 2 CD's featuring 40 heavily edited tracks we've decided to go with 33 full length versions across 3 CD's.

An earlier reviewer slated this CD for being 'too commercial', and I'm having a go at it for being too 'twisted' - you just can't please everyone - depends on your personal tastes really. I really liked the Tokyo Project CD - even the 'heavier' third CD. Expected more of the same with Tokyo Disco, but was hugely disappointed.
In my view it's the more mainstream tracks that cut the mustard here - almost all of which are on CD1 which probably deserves 4-5* in its own right. But yet again the album falls away into electro, synth-driven repetition which isn't me at all I'm afraid. 'Twisted' was my least favourite Kandi genre, and 1 and a half CDs of this 3 CD set belong in that category. How anyone can honestly say that this stuff is 'funky' is beyond me. Mark says he 'loves' this music - well good luck to him but it just ain't me.
There seems to be a tendency with both the HK and Doyle stables to include heavier, sequencer-dominated tracks in order to appease the 'discerning clubber' (as they like to call themselves!). As a result, they end up pleasing very few. At least I knew where I was with the 'Twisted Disco' and 'Disco Heaven' series from HK - I could avoid one and eagerly snap up the other. But even those normally reliable lines are becoming blurred, with the inclusion of inappropriate songs (also see Mark's excellent but at times curious 'Beach Angel' which includes lots of up-tempo dance).
When I downloaded this onto my MP3 player, I used all of CD1, but then struggled to make another album's worth out of the other two - only managing 8 tracks in the end out of a possible 22. I'm sure that other reviewers would have done it the other way around - as I said, you can't please everyone. The irony, of course, is that a single CD would offer less value for money in today's market but would probably have earned 5* for quality above quantity.

An excellent compilation!! Mark 'Hed Kandi' Doyle does a fab job of compiling together the freshest sounds from the sparkling land of house music. Plenty of currnet hits, and future classics this is a must for anyone who loves to dance.
Loves it!!

I was not overly impressed with the previous Tokyo Offering but decided to give this one a go. I was pleasently impressed this is one of the best house CD'S I have brought in a long time it doesn't disappoint. Seeing as there are so many CDs around with more or less the same songs on this is a refreshing change with lots of new tracks. Especially loving the Pink Artwork its good value for money. Keep it up Mark Hed Kandi has rapidly gone down the commercial hill since you left. Look forward to the next offering.

A classic!
Personally, I feel this is one of the best compilations I have heard. Even the artists I haven't heard of before keep up with the standards set by the likes of 'Martin Solveig',... Read more
