Customer Rating:      Summary: Great fun.... Comment: Yes - nothing too deep or heavy here, just lots of funky fun. Set around an imaginary party weekend, the set starts with Friday Night on Disc 1, and gets a bit more intense on Saturday Evening - Disc 2, before tailing off with a relaxing Sunday morning - Disc 3.
Unusual set as I've never known HK (or anyone else) to include a chillout disc in such an uptempo set. But the whole thing works, somehow.
The third disc isn't mixed which is a bit misleading, though it would be technically difficult to mix tracks of this nature I should imagine, and the package doesn't suffer too much for it.
Quite a few mainstream songs here which will have some purists up in arms, but let's be honest, the days of HK being cutting edge have pretty much gone. Worth a buy, and good value. Put those hands in the air!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: At last - true Kandi is BACK!!! Comment: I told you... all that twisted disco (TD) stuff was undermining recent Kandi releases. Let's hope TD is to be consigned back to it's own genre cd again. Maybe it's taken a financial crisis - but at last, true Kandi is back and shining through - basking in the sun - dancing around the room - and lifting the spirits as high as they can go... Thank you Kandi!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Finally... Comment: ... a return to form for Hed Kandi... I don't know who is responsible for the A&R and mixing of this product but the quality has definitely been ramped up over recent Kandi releases. As another reviewer mentioned, this album doesn't take itself too seriously, and I think that's where HK have lost the plot recently. This is a fun, bright outlook on the world of current funky house which reminds me slightly of the Mark Doyle era, but evolved into perhaps something better.
If you've been disappointed with recent releases or are completely new to the Hed Kandi/funky house scene, then this is definitely worth your attention!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Winter Kandi - So Sweet Comment: Fabulous CD, it doesnt take itself too seriously, this isnt serious house music... its hands up in the air - peaktime, party time fun... just what you need at this time of year.
Great value for money, some exclusive remixes and a corking unmixed winter chill lounge cd as disk three that i guarantee will NOT be off your ipod this winter season.
:)
