Review|Ministry of Sound: Classics (2006)

Category: Music
Genre: Dance & DJ
Artist: Various Artists

Another compilation from the Ministry it has 3 CD's, it is unfortunate though that the compilation seemed to be house-centric. One could argue that the classics are not made up of house music only... are there no classics from other genres? Well of course there are... Maybe a more fitting title would be House Classics. Another thing is the mixing I'm pretty certain this one was done by a PC, or a DJ that lacked skills I mean some of the transitions were pretty abrupt and the album wasn't as smooth as I would have liked. If you're going to do a soddy job at mixing might as well release the damned thing in an unmixed track by track format. When the feeling of nostalgia wears off you'll be left with a poorly mixed house-centric CD(s) filled with 'old skool' floor fillers. The mixing doesn't do justice to these tracks.
