Back to Love.......2005-05-25

This is the third installment of the BACK TO LOVE series from Hed Kandi. It is a nice retrospective of club hits from the late 80s and early 90s. The first disc is usually filled with club classics, while the second disc focuses more on hip hop and funkier tracks. While I wasn't in the clubs when these songs were being played, some of them I do remember from my youth, and either way it's just good music. Highlights include En Vogue's "Hold On", Ce Ce Peniston's "Finally", Frankie Knuckles "Your Love", and many more. The great thing is these are all the full length mixes.

mastered from vinyl!!!! A real downer to a great series........2005-01-07

I bought this, my first volume of the hed kandi series, and while I'm thrilled to have the full length 12" mixes of many of these classics on CD, I can't overlook the fact that you can HEAR pops in the vinyl records that many of these songs were obviously mastered from for this compilation. Listen to this CD through headphones and you'll notice it much more at certain points. While it isn't the worst thing and it sounds like effort was made to clean up the sound quality, it makes me hesitant to buy another volume of this series. Why spend so much money for CD quality when all you're getting is vinyl quality recorded onto CD??? I could do that at home with my recordable CD player and my turntable...

loved it!!!.......2004-08-08

This is the best dance cd ever!!!! This cd contains the best R&B Hits and house sounds combined!!!

I've Got Nothing but "Love" for This CD........2002-12-21

"Back to Love" is a double CD that affectionately looks back to the old school (1980's to early 90s) and delivers a generous serving of delectable early club hits. For a lot of labels, it's a great concept, but the execution sometimes results in advestised-on-TV compilations that have "K-tel" cheese written all over them. Fortunately, the selections on this disc are tasteful and will bring a smile to the face of any serious clubhead. Adeva's powerful house re-working of Aretha's "Respect" sounds even better today, and it's a reminder of the glory years when house was truly rooted in soul. Sterling Void's "It's Alright" (which Pet Shop Boys would later cover) appears, and the tragically out-of-print "Too Blind To See It" from Kym Sims (produced by Chicago's Steve "Silk" Hurley) is another highlight that stands out on the 70+ minute Disc 1. On the second disc, the tempo changes a bit, still offering a few disco jams but also flirting with r&b and hip-hop. Detroit's Inner City serves up a discocentric remake of Stephanie Mills' "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin'," and Shannon's still slammin' 1980s "Let The Music Play" appears in its full length. For hip hop lovers, the classic "White Lines" will satisfy their crave, and Dan Hartman's "Relight My Fire" still holds up as a disco stomper. As with virtually all Hed Kandi releases, the songs here aren't mixed, and many of them appear in their 12-inch extended versions. If you want a great collection of what great dance music used to sound like, you can't go wrong with these two CDs.

Don't Buy!!!!.......2002-01-26

I picked this up at a used CD shop and no wonder the person got rid of it! I am a huge Hed Kandi fan (they've saved my life musically). But I have to be frank, this really, really, really is an awful compilation. Out of the 24 tracks on this double CD compilation I only enjoyed 3 songs. Those are "Respect" by Adeva, "Passion of your passion " by Gat Decor and "Whatcha Gonna Do with my Lovin" by Inner City. The rest of the songs are simply R&B tracks from the late 80's early 90's (a period I loathed). Hed Kandi is a great lable but they have so much better compilations out there. Skip this one.

Customer Reviews:

One of the best Kandi releases..........2006-11-03

I've got to say that amongst numerous Hed Kandi releases this one is my favourite. Apart from the fact that all tracks are DJ-friendly, long 6-7 minutes versions, the selection of tracks is just simply amazing. The first CD starts with an amazing tune from Purple Music by HiFi Mike "Stereo Flavas" and the consequent tracks just keep up with the happiness and carry the same up-beat groovy feeling all along. Hed Kandi CDs do tend to have sometimes filling music with no character or soul; however, this CD is at its best providing great mood, feeling and emotions.

Good but not great.......2005-07-02

This entry into the Disco Kandi series didn't really blow me away. The one before this one (05.02) was really good...this one just left me somewhat disapointed. Don't get me wrong there's some good cuts, but there's also quite a bit of filler too. Try to get it used.

This time its very vey Kandi.......2003-10-21

Its a Soft , elegant , and very nice selecction , full of Glory voice and rhythm
Dubtribe sound system did a grant job , in the same way ONDA ,
with Kelly sae , Prospect Park and Linda Clifford , and finaly Bob Sinclar with Kiss My eyes
Rapping With The Gods excelent song
E Samba - Very and nice samba
Shining - Only the name is good not the song
Bodyswerve - Mica Paris , Angelical Voice and cool rhythm
Drowsy With Hope - Viva¡¡¡¡ Shakedown full disco song

Hed Kandi's Done it Again........2003-01-06

Hed Kandi is one of the most venerable labels in dance music, coming up with great double-disc compilations of grooves courtesy of Mark Doyle. On the third volume of "Disco Kandi," we get soulful vocals and funky house that sometimes recall the 1970s. Ann Nesby's pumped up "Lovin' Is Really My Game," Loleeta Holloway's "Dreamin'," and "The Player" by First Choice are some of the highlights that make "Disco Kandi Volume 3" worth the trip. It's obviously not the best of the series, but it ain't half-bad either.

It's good, but not the best compilation........2002-12-02

Here's how the disco kandi compilation works....similar to disco house, but more on the disco side. That means lotsa vocals, funky vibes, and all around a lot of fun. I'm giving this a 3 though b/c out of 2 cd, the best tracks I found were:

sugartown
do it all night
pasilda
whem i'm with you
brasil over zurich
intro - which rocks!...

That's only six tracks. However, I think many more of you will like more tracks...I'm just EXTREMELY picky with house music or what people call house music. I have over 3000 house tracks and so my standards seem probably a bit too high. This is a good cd, and worth a buy b/c you can have a lot of fun with it. Check out my other reviews for the other disco kandi cd's....

Really Cool.......2001-07-09

This CD is as cool as all the other Hed Kandi CDs. The music is laid back yet there are other tracks which are dance. Strong recommendation to buy.

Customer Reviews:

This Album is a Sure Classic.........2005-10-21

I am a big fan of Disco Kandi's work. It started in my living room many years ago when a friend brought a long a beautifully packaged CD for me to listen to. Their music just makes me smile. I buy their CD's because it's all about feel-good, non-commercial, happy, fantastic music. My absolute favorite song on this Album is "Suite 56", which has become an in-joke among my closest friends, whenever there's a trick situation about to happen (that's where we go)! Not to sound like a advertisement but honestly, when you buy Hed Kandi music, you are buying quality, unique productions that are worth having in your collection. These albums will become classics very soon and I am glad there are companies like HK who keep producing such compilations.

Sounds Good, Tastes Even Better!.......2001-03-20

When I heard the previous Disco Kandi last year in a friend's car, I went straight to the nearest record store. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a copy since they were either sold out or never had them in stock in any other record store. So as soon as I saw DK 3 on the rack today, I bought it without even looking at what the tracks in it were. That's what I think of the Hed Kandi Disco series-they are worth buying on the spot. If you're into house music, this CD is worth buying. Usually the tracks are ones you'll never hear on the radio, but that's the type of CDs you should buy. If you're looking for those commerical tracks that get played over on the air, might as well download from napster.

Disco house and garage house.......2001-02-20

It arrived this morning and straight into the office hifi it went. Everyone loved it and that is why for me it is the best Disco Kandi so far. The tunes are full of that good old Philly disco sound and are fun to listen to, which has always been the point of Hedkandi I believe. The fact it is the most commercial probably says more for the growing popularity of house music than it does about any change in Hed Kandi selection policy. The tempo and style moves upwards nicely through the CDs making a complete and pleasurable listening experience. It's only Tuesday but I'm wishing it was Saturday thanks to this CD. The fact that is so wide appealing is it strongest point, more people will listen to house music now thanks to this CD, it's so fun it appeals to everyone and while sounding charty it still features the biggest house names around; Lisa Millet, Joey Negro, Dimitri and the wonderful voice of Loleeta Holloway. Also worth mentioning is the EXCLUSIVE 2001 Tamperer remix of Gusto's Disco Revenge. The best CD I've bought this year so far which sets the standards by which other house complilations must aspire. But did you really expect anything less from Hed Kandi and Mark Doyle?
