As a DJ, I usually stay away from mixed CDs, preferring instead to blow all my money on Vinyl. But after hearing this at a friends house, I decided it was a must have. After listening to it a few times, I came to the conclusion that Bedrock is one of those rare electronic music CDs that is a genre unto itself, meaning that no one else has done anything like it. I mean, I'm one of the most devoted fans of 4-4 beat dance music I know, and Im the first to admit that alot of the stuff sounds exactly alike. But what John has done here is create an easy-listening form of trancey house that is even more mellow than the already toned-down Northern Exposure series, without it becoming a beatless, ambient New-Age meditation type thing. This is an album that I listen to at work, and that I also play out at clubs with deep house. That kind of versatility is rare. Also, big thumbs-up to the vocal tracks. Ive never heard trance vocals that didnt totally ruin the song before this.
