- Essential Mix-Essential Boy!
Boy George proves once again just how talented he is. This is one great dance CD, each song blending into the next, taking you on a wild ride of beats. I highly recommend picking this one up! Michele (West Coast) - March 28, 2001

- My first dance CD ever... I loved it!
I am more a fan of Boy George than dance music in general but after lisening to this I will definitely expand my horizons. This is a really fun, upbeat CD and Boy George sounds great! Customer review - February 22, 2001

Is it no wonder that Versace has used Boy George's talent as a DJ to spin his own musical mix for many of their most recent fashion shows in Milan. In his current iteration as DJ, Boy George takes his listeners on on a musical journey creating a lush landscape in the dance genre that transcends both the ubiqutous pounding of today's techno-pop and time itself. Opening this volume of the Essential Mix series with a newly rendered mix of "Girl From Ipanema," (a classic example of early Bosa Nova Jazz,) the Boy travels from the cocktail tinged sound of the 1960's straight into the beat driven 21st century, stopping to sample the 70's and 90's along the way. He is even found briefly revisiting the 1980's with a new cut by Culture Club, aka Cultural Diversion. It was, in fact, this updated version of the Boy's former persona of pop crooner that left me feeling somewhat forelorn--as it recalled to mind the immense talent this soulful balladeer has when it comes to phrasing a song, leaving me wanting to hear more of his lilting voice. Fortunately, it resurfaces on a later track with The Colein. Nevertheless, while it would be a joy to hear the Boy reinvent himself as a 21st century Dance Torch Diva, as BoyDJ--the trip he takes us on delivers us to new and exciting places. - a little dull
I pretty much bought this album for one particular song ... and that's pretty much the only one I enjoy. It's pretty typical soulless dance music ... but it's still ok. |
