Review #16: Promo Only: Dance Radio April 2007

Reviewed on 3.21.2007 (Review #16)

I’m not really in tha mood for this CD. I got a sore throat ( :( ), and I have a lot of homework to do after this, but anyway, here we go! Promo Only Dance Radio April 2007 Review!
© 2007 CD Review (Review #16) reviewed on 3.21.2007 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

















01. September “Cry For You (Radio Edit)”
Really feelin’ tha intro! :) This iz going to be a pretty big Spring ‘07 anthem. I can also tell since it debuted at like #18 on Dance Airplay! :) My Rating: 3.8

02. David Guetta Feat. JD Davis “The World Is Mine (F.M.I.F. Radio Edit)”
Just like “Against All Odds”, we got another JANUARY 2005 song ( :roll: )... damn this was in HEAVY ROTATION on MCD from 1.05 - 5.05 and now has been disabled for like at least a year now. Low AL on this remix... >>> Alright I’m feelin’ tha intro a lil’ better than Deep Dish’s remix. Okay better chorus too. :) Alright I’m giving this a pretty good ranking. :) My Rating: 3.9

03. Hilary Duff “With Love (Richard Vission vs. Dave Audé Edit)”
I can just imagine tha fusion in tha mix. Very curious to see why people picked this over A. Castillo’s mix. Low AL. >>> Bleh wit tha intro, but I like how it repeats “baby you could be...” wow this remix iz SOOOOOOOOOOO much worse than A. Castillo’s! :evil: :evil: Terrible, yet boring remix! Tha other remix rating: 4.0. This: My Rating: 2.0

04. Get-Far “Shining Star (Pornocult Radio Edit)”
Alright heard tha intro many many times, but let’s see on another listen wit this bad song. >>> Ugh tha vocals during tha chorus... puke... I actually like tha vocals a lil’ during tha verses, but either way, *thumbs down* Alright I hate when it does “the” and then tha beat. Good thing it only does tha chorus once! :) My Rating: 2.4

05. Kimberley Locke “Change (Jason Nevins Dance Radio Edit)”
Alright KL iz back, and this iz my first high AL’er! :) >>> Hmm... pretty good. :) My Rating: 3.6

06. The Killers “Read My Mind (Gabriel & Dresden Radio Edit)”
I’m REALLY FEELIN’ tha Pet Shop Boys mix on MCD, so let’s see how they compete wit G&D! :) >>> Pretty good for G&D, although NO WHERE NEAR tha PSB mix. My Rating: 3.3

07. Suite 117 “Smaller (Dave Audé Radio Edit)”
:D >>> This song has great music in it, and tha vocals go good wit it! :) My Rating: 3.9

08. Carl Cox with Saffron “Get What You Paid 4! (Jon Rundell Radio Edit)”
HIGH AL! :) Like tha title, and CC had 3 hot songs last year, so let’s hope he makes a comeback! :) I expect some Jamacian for some reason... >>> Really feeling these vocals, but I expected more than house... :( Tha music iz pretty good. My Rating: 3.7

09. Jennifer Carbonell “Time (Hernandez vs. DJ Tyo Radio Edit)”
What’s that “Œ” symbol in tha ID? :? High AL on her and ESPECIALLY them Italian boys on tha mix! :) >>> Slow start, but I’m feelin’ that chorus! :) Pretty good. :) My Rating: 3.9

10. Chris Lake Feat. Laura V “Changes (Radio Edit)”
Just like a ghost, “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” >>> This comes to show you how Robbins does it one year later. One year ago: “What If” got signed. One year later.... *speechless* Between this and Dirty South’s remix, both are pretty good. This one has verses, tha other one has better music without tha 2nd verse. Hmm... how should I rate this? My Current Rating: 3.5

11. Tiёsto Feat. Christian Burns “In The Dark (Radio Edit)”
Alright so this iz tied to be tha fastest... let’s see some improvement and some trance here. High AL. >>> I don’t know about this one... nice chorus and nice music, but I rather this song be a trance song. My Rating: 3.1

12. Lola “I Can't Take It (Josh Harris Radio Edit)”
This iz a HOT remix! :) Best one to play in tha car. Jason Nevins mix iz best to play around my friends. Johnny Budz’s... iz just fake. :lol: My Rating: 4.0

13. Ror-Shak Feat. Julee Cruise “Fate Or Faith (Ror‑Shak vs. Static Revenger Radio Edit)”
Really looking forward to this remix! Tha original iz smooth wit like a 160+ BPM. This, BETTER be good!! High AL >>> Not really feelin’ tha intro, but I like tha combo wit tha music. I’m feelin’ Ror-Shak’s “do-do-do-do...” and Static Revenger’s background music (ex: like 2:08 around). :) They mixed tha words around kinda strange, but w/e. My Rating: 3.6

14. Eddie Thoneick Feat. Berget Lewis “Deeper Love (Eddie Thoneick Big Room Radio Mix)”
Pee-you (sp?) did somebody fart? Lol. :lol: This was weird on a first listen, so now on a TL (3rd listen), let’s see. Low AL. >>> This iz tha same one I have (I thought it was a lil’ different). Tha verse iz good, and tha vocals are ½ and ½, and tha chorus sounds a lil’ discoey (sp?) as Vice from tha Clubland forum said (which made me bring it up). Okay it sounds slightly better on a TL. :) My Rating: 3.5

15. A Girl Called Jane “He’s Alive (Jody’s Radio Edit)”
Pretty good pop song, although I heard like 5 seconds of it. High AL on tha remix. :) >>> Nice intro on this. :) Pretty decent. I can bet’cha it’ll grow on me in tha future. For now, it’s not bad. 8) My Rating: 3.7

16. Edun “Put ‘Em Up (Radio Edit)”
Laugh all ya want, but this iz my HIGHEST AL, especially since tha last 4 songs are either I heard of, or BLEH. C’mon please be a BANGER!! >>> Yup definitely feelin’ that long intro! :) Yeah I remember this song, and tha “BPM” line (although Clubland disagrees about that). I guessed right... this could be my favorite song on tha CD, although it didn’t have much competition. My Rating: 4.0

17. Ralph Falcon “I Need Someone (Cube Guys Remix)”
This iz tha re-remix! :) Lil’ sample on MCD and it’s not Party 105's house mix. >>> Tha original iz better, but this iz pretty decent. Kinda just as good as Party’s mix, and this has slightly better vocals. :) My Rating: 3.7

18. Young Love “Discotech (Chris Cox Radio Edit)”
Young Love... you would think an R&B guy, but no. It’s a few guys trying to make pop music that sounds like Dance-Pop, lol. This song iz gay, so let’s see if CC gave it a chance (although I hate tha vocals and tha chorus). Low AL >>> I can’t believe I’m listening to this! :( Damn I think I better close my eyes when that chorus comes on ‘cause it’s S–C–A–R–Y–!!!! I really hate that part “discotech (what bad spelling, lol), meet me in tha back door” or w/e. Tha music iz doing [ shit ] also, lol. Oh well, I guess you could say this iz better than that gay Jody Den Broeder mix. :idea: My Rating: 1.8 due to vocals killing tha song

19. Mason vs. Princess Superstar “Perfect (Exceeder) (Radio Edit)”
Definitely feelin’ this more than tha original “Exceeder”. Princess Superstar and her hot cheesy rapping! :) I don’t know how this would make this CD... I would’ve never expected. 2 MCE songs on one CD, lol. NOOOOO they cut out TITS! :( :( :cry: But I have tha Radio Edit and it’s not cut out! :( C’mon I really luv titties! :D Even without tha “tits” being censored, I’ll give it my real ranking. My Rating: 4.0

20. Fall Out Boy “This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race (Funkrock Remix)”
How about “This Ain’t A Rock CD, It’s A Dance CD (Screw Tha Remix)” :!: :lol: Low AL on this 100 BPMer... damn 100 BPM... I bet’cha Kanye West’s remix iz faster, lol. :lol: >>> *Turns tha Surround Sound off ‘cause it’s 10:57 PM* SMH... they censor “tits” but not "G..." in "G...Damn"? C’mon that’s IMO, tha WORST CURSE!!! Oh yeah I turned it down 2 notches ‘cause that rock chorus came outta nowhere. :( My Rating: 1.3


Overall: Terrible, just TERRIBLE! Compared to last year, it had 99 MORE BPM than this CD!! This iz bad to go wit my sore throat and my homework! :( Wow May’s CD (or at least June’s) better have these labels: Unsigned, Airus, EsNtion, all that good shit. BPM’s better be 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 145, NOTHING LOWER!!! Anyway, let’s see here:

Songs That Will Make My Sources:
