 Let me start from comment that the idea of doing a joint album by Lee Burridge and Sander Kleinenberg from the beginning seemed to me quite strange. Why? Yes, they belong to a group of the best DJs in the world, but they also represent completely different genres. Burridge’s compilation was recorded a few months ago, so it’s not as much attractive as it could be – a half of the tracks compiled I already know by heart. Adding to this silly pop Ada’s track for the opening and I already know I won’t be delighted. Fortunately with every running track and minute the compilation becomes more and more Burridge-like, with dominating tech house song “Closer” and positive hits: “One Earth Beat” and “Wanna Get Wet” in the first part. This way we have reached ingenious composition “Future Now” passing into not worse “I Love You”. And this is it. Instead of punching harder Lee decides to prepare the listener for Kleinenberg’s performance, playing already played to death “Yoshimoto” (what kind of DJ chooses potential hits for a compilation?), sluggish “Esplanade ‘97” and festival oriented “2 Bullets”. Sander Kleinenberg, one of the precursors of progressive, despite his capricious, celebrity behaviors, is also famous for having a penchant for commercializing the genre too much. Fortunately the bigger part of his compilation denies that, however Sander’s music is closer to house than to progressive. There are quite a lot of vocals and even more originally composed melodies, just to mention “Muscle Car”, “Yeah, Yeah” or “Dark Matter”. Everything goes pretty well until “Mr. Roboto”, which I normally greeted with a wry smile. After Matthew Dekay interviewed a year ago had told us, that for him and Sander the house scene might be even more commercial, I didn’t believe they could go so far (meaning: could fall so low). Very good “Look” production from Babicz is not enough to lift me up from feeling disgusted. Could be that Burridge’s compilation would sound fresh 3-4 months ago, nonetheless I’d be tired of it after two weeks. Too many hits, too little good music. But Sander, having built a well-though-out, solid compilation up to its 50th minute, has finally shown up himself quite unreasonable to ruin completely the right effect. Waste of breath. Waste of money.
