This is the best collection of 80's Freestyle CD's. I like almost ALL the songs on these CDs and I'm pretty picky.
ALSO I WENT TO SEE THE FREESTYLE EXPLOSION CONCERT WHERE " EXPOSE, LISA LISA, COMPANY B, INFORMATION SOCIETY, AFRIKA BAMBAATA , CONNIE , DEBBIE DEBB , FREESTYLE , LIME (GREAT GROUP) , AND MANY OTHERS, AT AA ARENA, THAT WAS AWWWWEEEESSOOOMMEEEE. THIS IS AWESOME SET, I REMEMBER IN THE 80'S WHEN I USED TO GO TO THE BEST CLUB IN SOUTH BEACH IN MIAMI , ( CLUB 1235 ) OR IN BROWARD ( CLUB METRO ). I HOPE I CAN SEE THEM AGAIN. I USED TO TAPE THOSE SONGS (EVEN SOME OF THEM DIDN'T KNOW THE SINGER. BUT NOW I DO. THIS IS A GREAT HIT. THANK YOU FREESTYLE.
There are a few things that stopped me from giving this set the perfect score of "5", instead of a "4".1. I am a stickler for detail and work very hard on my personal mixes and repeating songs is a big no-no for me. And who do you think plays it. So even though I was a metalhead at the peak of Freestyle's hayday, I got into listening to it a few years after it was popular.
I like NU SHOOZ but do I think they belong in the ranks with freestyle acts like NOCERA and NAYOBE. they would be more at home on a TOTALLY 80s compilation. I am totally nostalgic. Where is TKA. Well, they play the song Let the Music Play by SHANNON and the song Facsinated by COMPANY B twice.
NU SHOOZ was an 80s synthesizer group that had the hits I Can't Wait and Point Of No Return. Me.This is a good "starter kit" featuring such freestyle artists like STEVIE B., CYNTHIA, THE COVER GIRLS, GEORGE LAMOND, NOEL, EXPOSE and CORO. They were my favorite fresstyle act. All in all the FREESTYLE EXPLOSION box set is a good party starter.
I confess. It makes me mad cuz that is space they could have used for TKA tracks.3. There are some acts on here that I'm not sure I would consider freestyle. No. Where are Tears May Fall, Scars Of Love, Louder Than Love etc.2. There are also a FREESTYLE EXPLOSION Volume 6 and FREESTYLE EXPLOSION 7 for sale seperatley. Seeing that a LOT of the clubs and radio stations here in NY are playing it a lot I guess I have nothing to be ashamed of.I bought this set FREESTYLE EXPLOSION (Volumes 1-5) for my husband's birthday.
May I also suggest the Tommy Boy collection FREESTYLE GREATEST BEATS Volumes 1 - 10 and TKA's GREATEST HITS. Here, they are represented by ONE track: One Way Love. They repeat tracks. Same can be said of PRETTY POSION and TAYLOR DANE.But I am nit-picking. Now all ya need is a keg of beer and your party is complete.
They forgot Erotic Exotic. nuff said.
I was just in Jr. Love this album. I thought i was supposed to look under "Old school".
Awww.i remember going cruzin with my eighteen year old cousin and her dates. I can't imagine a better compilation. High when I listened to these awesome hits.
They are perfectly put together. I was all into aqua net and eye liner and shinny shoes. I can't belive I found these songs.Perfect.
It does bring back memories. I highly reccomend.
