Product Description

CD Description

2011 marks the year of a significant milestone for what has become one of the most powerful brands across the globe since the opening of its club in 1991. Ministry of Sound celebrates 20 years of being at the forefront of dance music culture with this four CD collection. "Rulin" takes you on soulful journey through some of the biggest house tracks to shape the clubbing scene featuring big room classics David Morales "Needin U", Ultra Nate "Free" and Bucketheads' "The Bomb". "Trance Nation" gets those hands in the air for a spine tingling experience with tracks from Faithless, Paul Van Dyk and Darude plus loads more. "Smoove" encapsulates the beginnings of what was to become one of the most successful genres in UK music with Double 99 "Rip Groove", Tina Moore "Never Gonna Let You" and Robin S "Show Me Love". The collection winds down with a handpicked selection of the finest laid back beats of chilled house.

Set comprises:
- 4CD collection, divided into the club’s most successful residencies including "Rulin", "Trance Nation" and "Smoove", plus a bonus disc of chilled house.
- Stylish "Clamshell" Box set with four individual slipcases.
- 20 page booklet of photos and information

At long last! 22 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD
After seemingly hundreds of `Greatest Dance Anthems' type compilations churned out from the Ministry of Sound stable, they FINALLY hit the nail on the head with this well thought out 4CD collection.

What makes it really special is that they've focussed on the club itself and the tracks the label was built on, so there's plenty of cult classics amongst the big hits.

CD One, Rulin, reflects the mid-90's big room house sound from their most infamous Saturday night residency with plenty of diva vocals and big dance smashes.
Standout tracks include: Goodfellaz - Soul Heaven, Spiller - Groovejet, David Morales - Needin' U.

CD Two, Smoove, captures the more urban sound of U.S. Garage and the big 4/4 sound of 1997, Speed Garage, before gradually, and chronologically, morphing into the 2-step/UK garage anthems that dominated the end of the `90s.
Standout tracks: Hardrive - Deep Inside, Scott Garcia - It's A London Thing, Wookie - Battle, Y-Tribe - Enough Is Enough.

CD Three, Trance Nation, focuses on the huge selling series of the same name and captures the big euphoric tracks that dominated the turn of the millennium.
Standout tracks: Lustral - Everytime, Veracocha - Carte Blanche, System F - Out Of The Blue.

Finally CD Four, Chillout Session, winds down with the post millennial chilled anthems that flooded the market around 2001-2002.
Standout tracks: William Orbit - Dice, Royksopp - Poor Leno, Roger Sanchez - Another Chance (Afterlife Remix).

This is an epic body of work which reflects all that was great about the club and their compilation output golden era between 1995-2002. Each disc is housed in its own slipcase and boxed together with a nice little booklet telling you all about the legacy of the club and the music featured on this collection. The tracks are digitally mixed together and the effect is very polished, which arguably lacks the charm of old vinyl mixing like they used to do, however I'm pleasantly surprised how well they are mixed together.

A fitting summary and celebration of twenty years of dance music's finest moments captured, an absolute must-have.

Great journey 2 Dec 2011
By Jeffus
Format:Audio CD
I must admit I really love this collection of MoS:Twenty Years. I have pretty much everything from MoS and this is a welcome addition to that colelction!

I like how the 4 CDs are sequenced (Rulin, Smoove, Trance nation and Chillout Sessions) in that order. I love all the CDs but being a Trance addict, I'm loving CD3

Well worth adding to your collection!

Much better! 3 Dec 2011
Format:Audio CD
I just wanted to say that this is a much better CD than the dross that MOS have been pumping out recently.

Well worth owning in my opinion.

Cheers,

Ben.
