 from a dj's point of view... September 7, 2005
gil (Pasadena, CA USA)
Upon first review the track listing, I have to admit it's a brave selection of music and I was excited to take a listen. He's definitely outside of the box on this one and it does feel like a set you would here at your own comfortable hole in the wall favorite spot where anything fun goes rather than trying to follow any formulas.
However, it would be more appropriate to call this "New York: An Editing Odyssey". These tracks are all studio edited and forced together rather than anything that resembles a true "dj mix set". Quite simply, this was not pulled off live and that is disappointing to hear from such a talented dj as Armand, because he probably could have. I know I intend to mess with many of the ideas presented here.
Truth be told this review is very nitpicky and the huge majority won't know the difference, but a few purists will. If he were to have actually pulled this off live, it would have been worth 7 stars.
Oh, and the little sound skip at the end of the last track, you need to understand, a dj couldn't just let that track fade out on it's own terms, you gotta put your stamp on it.
 How can you give this anything less than 5 stars?? September 7, 2005

Where to begin?!? How bout Blondie....what a great kick-off. And the album does not stop until the last note bumps out the speakers 70-odd minutes later. Highlights include: EVERY SINGLE TRACK!!!! Pop and house...what a combo! A MUST BUY!
 So Dissapointing - Not Remixed. March 17, 2005

I bought this CD, thinking that it was 80's music remixed by Armand Van Helden. It's not. It is just slightly mixed together. So dissapointing. If you like your 80's music, but you have these songs elsewhere then you do not need it.
Great CD January 24, 2005

I gotta say, this CD is great. I grew up during the 80's and these songs bring back some happy memories. My only dissapointment was the ending. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" has to be one of my favorite 80's songs. So when I heard what sounded like a "glitch" I immediately returned the CD to where I bought it and went to a different store to find a new copy. The first thing I did was play the last song, and, to my surprise, there was that "glitch" again. That was a very dissapointing way to end what could of potentially, in my opinion, been a 5 star CD. None the less, it is a wonderful CD including my favorite new song, My My My. If you can get past that "glitch" being there, then I say go out and buy this CD.....
This clown from Estonia is clueless January 23, 2005

The Estonia guy who gave this CD a bad review obviously has something against the greatest city in the world - a place in which weak people like him are killed and eaten. Armand van Helden is the epitome of artistic prowess behind the wheels of steel, and most of the alternatives to this turntable wizard's masterpieces are the type of tacky and generic electronica you would hear in a backward hellhole like Estonia.
