Product Description
With over thirty years of dance floor expertise, Danny has carved an indelible mark on electronic dance music, past, present, and future. Clubbers report seemingly inhuman mixing capabilities, booth-to-floor telepathy, and the grittiest modern yet classic grooves they have ever heard come out of a speaker. This is Tenaglia's first compilation album in five years.

 Futurism? November 25, 2008
M. Khan (USA)
With a bit of skepticism, I bought this album, partially on the basis of some of the reviews here. I thought, well...Tenaglia came out with that God Awful "Choice" album while he soul searched for the spark that kicked off his passion in the first place, at least that's what I assume. Not sure as to why he would drag us into that "mystical voyage" into the truly dark days of house music. But nevertheless, I road tested the album. That is to say, I put it into my car right after buying it and drove home.
At first I thought, through the first three tracks, hey, maybe we have something here. Then? It goes flat with little more than the annoying disco shrieks and sound effects that mock your sense for good music.
Futurism? Hardly. There is nothing classic here, no exapansion to the great dancehall euphoria of early Tenaglia albums. If by Futurism Tenaglia means to say that he is defining a path forward with this album, my point of reference is those old black and white films from the 50's showcasing cars of the future. Ridiculous. Is Tenaglia saying the future of this genre is mostly slow-tempo techno? No thanks.
There are a few tracks worth listening to on the second CD, mostly towards the end, but hardly groundbreaking. I'm sorry to say that a long overdue record from Tenaglia disappoints.
 Review of CD 1. September 23, 2008

From reading the other reviews I guess I am older, added to that I have never been to a club to hear any DJs. I am using Grado SR125 headphones a Creek Headphone amp and a Yamaha 961 series Uni. changer. It just could be my world but I took off with Track 1 of Cd 1 and halfway came back in for a landing on the last track (my mind returned to me). True! it may be the bill collectors sending out vibes or the other residents of the household or the times we live in: I do not know! CD 1--> 1 star or 5 stars. I will (hopefully) return and complete the trip with CD 2. Out...
Experimental, dark, almost sinister, but forgettable September 17, 2008

I have been a fan of Danny Tenaglia since the mid-90s. His live sets are the best that ANYone has done. The days at Vinyl in NYC were perhaps some of the best music I have heard. The Futurism cd, in my view, would have been better to take us back to those days, but update it for the future. Unfortunately, this set does not. I hope this is not the future.
CD#1: Is highly experimental. There are many classic Tenaglia elements (no pun intended) that bring you back to those heady 90s megaclub days. This set is never boring.
It is dark, almost mean and sinister, but not in hard charging, danceable way that Danny fans have come to expext and want. The sounds are overly mechanical in places and flat in others.
There at attempts at electro that sometimes work, but are not really what you buy Danny Tenaglia music for. He includes a few tracks with driving beats -- the hard, stompin' grooves that make you want to move (Track #14) -- but they are mixed in with plateaus that merely get by (Tracks 9-10) and have you wait for the next excitement to come along. Truly experimental, without the well-thought-out direction and focus of previous cd releases and certainly his live performances. Including noises that sound like a broken alarm clock (Track #8, #11) is never fun and never excusable.
CD#2: Is harder to describe. Tracks #1-#6 have some elements of good music, but not enough to keep you interested or happy. There is no direction or focus in the mixing, no story to tell, no trip or journey to take with him. It sounded like a broken dishwasher motor was the primary source of the sounds. None of the talent we buy Danny for. Boring.
Tracks #7 to the end are a dramatic improvement and makes you stand up and take notice. The old (real) Danny Tenaglia was back, throwing amazing sounds for you to enjoy over and over. Track #10, "No Revolution" is pure magic! Deep, detailed, hard and nasty. Great stuff!
There is such a convoluted range here that it is hard to give more than 2 stars. I debated with 3 stars, but even considering the brilliance and enjoyment of CD#2:#7-#14, it really justifies 2-stars, sadly. Even in the age of minimalist techno, electro, and downtempo progressive, there is still room for the deep, dark tech-house that made Tenaglia great. I wish we had that back. There is still a future for it.
six star cd September 15, 2008
Paul G. Hagan (australia)
first off let me state i am a huge fan of dannys work but its been a while 6 years i think worth the wait ? you betcha this is a six star cd dannys selection od tracks editing & mixing is superb is you know his work you will expect this if you dont go & buy this & then go back & get the rest its woth it if only more mix cds were like this
Awesome! Really out there yet still Grooves Hard!.... or Don't be afraid of the Future September 12, 2008
Richard Nixxon (FL)
Wow this set is awesome - fresh new sounds, progressive and techy yet it still thumps and grooves through most of the tracks. Let me just start by saying this is my first Danny Tenaglia album. I'm new to this genre but have acquired 40 albums in 6 months from Cattaneo, Seaman, Fanciulli, Zabiella, Kleinenberg, Tomeii, Digweed, Holden, Lawler, Warren and so on, I have heard much of what is available out there. This set is as good as it gets. Its worth the price of admision for "Emergency" on disc 1 alone. This equals Seaman's or Lawler's best.
I think some of the poorer ratings here are from longtime Tenaglia fans. They didn't get what they were used to. I had no preconceptions. This Album is the S@#T! Be ready for some strange mixes! But what makes this work is that there is usually a funky bouncy driving bass/percusion track that makes everything groove! If you don't like the song "Emergency" on Disc one, pay no attention to my reviews from here on out! Good luck and enjoy!
