I wonder how many dumpsters could be filled with crappy compilation "mix CDs." It truly boggles the mind...
Thankfully, noted DJ, producer, and disco/house-savant Joey Negro a.k.a. Dave Lee, Jakatta, and lots of other things) seems determined to offer up something more than just a pair of overpriced aluminum coasters with his eclectic two-CD journey The Trip...
While these Jazz, 80s, House, and Pop tracks have been tastefully "mixed" into each other, I get the impression that we're usually hearing the complete songs rather than heavily edited snippets (most are between three and five minutes long.)
Overall, Joey Negro's The Trip is like a 120 minute mix tape from your hippest buddy, eager to impress and amaze you with his favorite obscurities, early influences, and guilty pleasures. You may want to fast forward past a few things along the way, but there are enough pleasant surprises and nostalgic amusements to make for an enjoyable ride.
Short of making your own mix CDs, this is about as good as they come — so The Trip is hereby spared from the dumpster!
