Ben Watt (of Everything But The Girl fame) delivers another superb selection of melodic and lush house on Buzzin' Fly Volume 2: Replenishing Music For The Modern Soul. Though the slight detour through electro halfway through is unexpected, it actually works really well, and doesn't come across as a trendy afterthought or worse. The sequel to 2004's deep house compendium Buzzin' Fly Volume One may not be as invigorating and absolutely essential as his Lazy Dog albums, it's also not as repetitive. Consider this concept album either a solid party starter or as solid grist for your own mixes. Very few of these artists (some of them on Watt's label) are established yet, so if you're looking for fresh house that's not from the Akufen school--solid groovy, Afro-inflected four on the floor stuff--look no further. --Mike McGonigal

Product Description
Second volume in Ben Watt's groundbreaking "Buzzin' Fly" series is a concept DJ mixset, fusing street poetics with forward-thinking electro-infused deep house. Available as a special gatefold digipak CD.

perfect!.......2006-12-31

Out of all the house albums that I have bought in years, only few of them I go back to and still listen from time to time. And thanks to the superb talents of Ben Watt, I have found another one! I always listen to a good album for about 3 months, then I throw it away but even though Its been almost a year that this album has come out, I still listen to it. just push it into ur cd player and let Mr. Watt guide you on a smooth, flawless and wonderful music journey. Unfortunately, buzzin fly # 3 is not as god as this one.

Simply an orgy for your psyche'.......2006-04-28

u know when i first recieved this cd the 1st thing that came to mind was that i was just 2 high-brow for my taste but the more i listen the more i find it truly irrestible. i find some tru gems on here but it sefinately has some low moments but the highs are so darn good that anythin' less than 5 stars would truly be a travesty. i will outline the high points for you and you should find then helpful.

#2 is bangin', but it could have been so much better if the phrase "new your style" wasnt repeated a thousand times, not necessarily a dub, just less. alltogether it sets the sexy head-nod that this cd inspires.

#5 is a lovely trip down 'horse-gallop lane. (listen and you will know what i mean) this song goes well with many atmospheres. it is fun enuf for a graduation party and sexy enuf 2 have a dancefloor full of couples grindin' under the late-nite lights of new york. it has a middle eastern drum and synth complimented by a middle-eastern vocalist which makes it very misterious and fun at the same time.

#6 switches hemispheres quite fluidly to a latin american house haven with a killer sax melody over some raw latin drums and keyboards. i find this song quite irrestible.

#8 is just plain ole good stellar house music that will move your head along with your soul.

#10 is a euphoric house track that could have taken me over the top if the synth would have kept on going up instead of the emotional roller-coaster that it led me down but the producer 'nookie' defiantely acheived the emotion he was trying to get accross and that was almost certainley 'angts'. definately a fun ride nonetheless.

#11 ........OH WHAT A TRACK!!!!!! 'senti-sabi' is one of my top 2 tracks of '05 (with mozorovs' "fly guitar" on d2 t2 of nick warrens shanghai, bieng my #1). this song has spanish lyrics that compliment a driving synth in a way that is devoid by all but the most intelligent and discerning producers. i cant say enuf nice things about this track except "get it", this song will get you ready for the club or ready for that date that you have been anticipating.

#13 in my opinion is the beginning of the build-down of this cd and it does so with a carefree, light-spirited driving baseline that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face because, try as you might, you will not be able to stop your head from moving. i simply love the effect that this song has on my psyche'.

please buy this if you like 'good' music not just house and you will not be dissapointed.

THIS CD GOT ME "BUZZIN'"!!!!.......2006-03-08

To mirror what has already been said here by other reviewers, Ben Watt has compiled an exceptionally delightly mix of some of the most unique and colorful house music on the planet. His Buzzin' Fly series is tantamount to the Nude Dimensions series bringing you never before heard of tracks from the likes of Jerk House Connection, Hanna Hais, Savannah and Unity, to only name a few. But no track on Buzzin' Fly is more stellar than Sophian Rouge's beautifully percolating "El Wahrania" that mixes what sounds like looped steel drums with some sexy atmospherics, quirky strings and some guy singing in Arabic. Nevertheless, Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly Series in its totality is a refreshing release that should not be overlooked by any fan of the deep house music genre. Highly Recommended!

Quel pleasure!.......2005-09-25

This is a to-die-for album...absolutely perfect. And I'll bet you can't guess what it's best for...that's right...when you're alone with your honey on a Saturday night...want the ambience...the beat...the perfect beat...the coolest, sexiest lyrics...wow...I cannot stop listening since I got this album two months ago. Have had many "successful" moments in its thrall....love to Ben Watt. I will try others and look forward to more...

modern house for modern people..........2005-09-08
