5 out of 5 stars Bouncy and Groovy.......2003-05-20

Superb party music that always has me bouncing around.
Positive vibe and freaky music which is what I think house music is about. Now I got to get another copy because mine is all weared out. Although it might sound dated now, it's still a great release in my opinion. Awesome track selection and truly unbelievable
mixing! Can't we get a Cosmic Disco Part II please !!!

2 out of 5 stars I wanted to like it, but sadly this one comes up a short!.......2003-05-16

I still to this day go see Derrick spinning records as much as humanly possible (and I'm getting up there in years!), but this simply wasn't his greatest effort. Any of his old mix tapes far surpass this mix, so if this CD is your only exposure to Derrick Carter, you are not gettin' the goods!

Derrick Carter is truly an artist and the best live venue DJ going. Do yourself a favor and see him live sometime in Chicago!

5 out of 5 stars Derrick is the best around.......2000-07-14

With Derrick Carter's mixes, the boundaries between songs vanish. The man mixes two records for a looong time -- one providing the bang, the other the swing. Vocals, horns, basslines and pianos flit in and out of the mix, and unless you own the vinyl yourself, it takes a long time to figure out where it's all coming from.

There are DJs who are a little cleaner than Derrick (not many), but none who are more inventive and ambitious. He's putting together a symphony made out of wacked-out house music.

I'd say the previous reviewer was mistaken: this CD is a pale imitation of bootleg tapes that are out there. That being said, chances are good that this will be the best mix CD you own.

If you aren't impressed with Derrick Carter, you just don't know house music. I can't wait for another CD release so I can enjoy being blown away all over again.

5 out of 5 stars It's Derrick- nothing else needs to be said.......1999-11-18

This cd is a true representation of Derrick. Those of you unable to get ahold of the countless bootleged live sets can take heart with this one. Unlike the 'Many Shades of Cajual' release of years back, this one lets Derrick choose from spectrum of music, not limited to a specific label as some DJ cd require. While nothing equals seeing the master live, this cd does equal tapes that often float around. The songs are 3 years old now, but Derrick (and Chicago) has always been about 3 years ahead of Mainstream trends (and they both ALWAYS set the trend!)
