New York City club superstar Danny Tenaglia presents a collection of various tracks that range from the garage conventions of "Baby, Do You Feel Me?" featuring '80s "Vanilla Child" Teena Marie to the post-hi-NRG remake of Front 242's "Headhunter." Purists may be disappointed with the absence of the deeper, more musical production that characterized many a Tenaglia remix on his Tribal America recordings, but the sensible bass-and-piano arrangements on tracks like "Music Is the Answer" and the soul-searching "Better Days" hint at Tenaglia's desire to keep his music as real and true to his roots as commercially possible. --M.

 A Classic! April 15, 2005

My jaw must have just hit the floor upon reading these poor reviews!
1st off, this CD wasn't released last year, but in 98', so for those hoping for the 'new' sound of DT, this is NOT it.
Tourism is a classic work of house music, no doubt about it.
I started listening to Danny at the tender age of 14, and attending his weekly residency @ Vinyl since 99'. This was the 1st cd of his I've ever purchased, and it blew me away.
This was the style which pretty shaped my taste in house... none of the tracks are 'obvious', 'overdone', or 'obnoxious'... just bass, beats, and flawless vocals. The production is superb and in my humble opinion, set the stage for many a dj to come.
If only Danny would still play these nostalgia inducing tracks on the dancefloor.
If you're NOT a cheesy club kid hoping to buy a CD full of drum loops, buildups, and catchy hooks... then this classic is for you! :)
 At least the cover is appealing! October 23, 2004

But like the CD's cover photo, taken from the back of the plane, this un-mixed selection is far from first-class. As many other reviewers suggest, do not expect "Global Underground" or "Back to Basics" grooves. I was expecting more from the "Headhunter" track as well. It's o.k., but lacks originality and personality, and sounds more like the original Front 242 version played through a kazoo. If you buy this CD, get it used, and don't pay very much.

i purchased this cd on a whim and boy am I glad I did. This has some great "classic" dance tunes that have formed the basic building blocks for dance music today. This is by far one of the best "artist" albums by a dj to date. It's a shame this never received the attention it should have, perhaps one day it will.

Tourism doesn't deserve poor ratings. If people are expecting this 1998 release to be like his newer GU sounds, it could likely be disappointing. Tourism in general sounds a bit more sedated and darker than the GU series. A few songs stand out and still sound amazing, like Element, Headhunter, and Read my Lips. They won't stand out like oldies in the midst of new sounds. These are the types of tunes that inspired GU Nubreed series. Some songs (Turn me On, Do you Remember, Baby Do you Feel Me) on Tourism, however, are a bit outdated from today's perspective. That's not to say that they are no good. In fact, underneat the dated vocals, lies amazing beats that's quite an impressive sound even for today.

If you are a DJ and are looking for some tracks to mix, buy this CD. If you have heard Tenaglia's Global Underground CDs and are looking for more of the same, don't look here. I wasted my money.
