Ultra Club Classics 90s is a disc with one thing on its mind - love. Whether it is the love of dance music or the love you should be feeling for your significant other as you listen to it is completely up to you. To me, it is the love of the average (which unfortunately puts a lot of butts in front of movie screens and sells a lot of albums these days).
The disc does start off on a positive note with an excellent mix of Everything But the Girl's "Missing" and a nice slow-groove version of Robin S "Show Me Love." But by the time you get to track four, things start going from
really good to just okay - despite an attempt to take things up a notch or two from track seven through track twelve. Masters At Work's "I Can't Get No Sleep" and Ruffneck's "Everybody Be Somebody" seem the most out-of-place musically on this album. And Jungle Brothers' "I'll House You" is just a bad choice of a song all the way around.
All is not lost though, as you will find an excellent mix of Olive's "You're Not Alone," a good version of Kristine W's "Feel What You Want," and a wonderfully mellow mix of a good song - "I Like To Move It" - by Reel 2 Real on this disc. These five tracks, along with a fairly good version of SNAP's "Rhythm Is A Dancer," are still not enough to push this disc past the okay mark though. Even the mixing is just average.
Frankly, there are better albums to spend your hard earned money on and ones more deserving of the word classic, especially when you consider the plethora of quality 90s dance music there is to choose from.
