Inner City - Paradise

Budget Collection of the Hits of Paris Grey and Kevin Saunderson, Including their all Time Hits 'good Life', 'big Fun', 'paradise' and More. Album Details

They don't make 'em like this anymore!!!

Well, I thought this was a piece of music I had lost forever!! I originally purchased this back in 1989 on the strength of 3 tracks - Big Fun, Goodlife and Paradise. With 15 years passing since I last heard the CD, I was sure it would not be as good as I remembered it - boy was I wrong! This CD had stood the test of time extremely well and I would recommend it to anyone interested in 'real' dance music. Definately some brilliant tracks worth downloading onto the ipod for an instant mood lifter! November 1, 2008

Let me take you to a place I know that I know you'll want to go

when this album came out I was hypnotized by the song good life and to this day consider it to be in the top three of favorite songs. This is the type of music a house party has to have in order to a real house party.Big Fun.

Prance Ladies, Prance!

When this album first came out, I was only twenty-two and the club scene was my life. "Big Fun" and "Paradise" were staples every single night. In fact, one night the DJ played tracks 1-10 all the way through and NOBODY left the dance floor. This album was just that popular. My own copy was lost in a move and I thought Inner City would be a thing of the past.

At a friend's 40th birthday party this year, all of a sudden "Ain't Nobody Better" was played. Let me tell you, these dinosaurs (including myself) got their carcasses up and began flailing themselves about as if it was 1989 all over again. I had to find this album.

There is not one single disappointing track. "The Power of Passion" may be a bit much, however, it's better than any Trance song ever forced on the unsuspecting public. "Do You Love What You Feel" to me is the best on this imcomparable CD. "Big Fun" and "Good Life" just dare you to keep sitting down without wanting to walk the runway. It's hard to believe that only two people made this classic.

Dance music today is soooo ordinary. If you want a reason to dance buy this CD! THIS is what dance music is supposed to be!

big fun, i know someone else said it, but it's the bomb

hi,

great to see others wrote reviews, though an old album, it's appeal seems timeless. i haven't listened to this cd in years now, and i put it in to drive to and WOOOOOOOO, i forgot the connection i made in my mind when i first heard them, and still kinda hear (though it's a reverse comparison), it would be, don't get angry, dee-lite(shh did he? oh my? how dare you!), this in the sense that dee-lite in essence were an electronic soul dance group, that ventured into breakbeats, trance, dnb, but in the beginning on world clique some of the ambitions heard THERE can be heard realized HERE.

great sound, good to drive to, her voice is more soulful than usually heard on electronic dance albums, it adds ummmppphhh. September 13, 2005

We're Having Big Fun!

What a team - Paris Grey and Kevin Saunderson! Paris had been on the Chicago circuit for a while. When "Big Fun" was spotted as background music for a TV commercial those of us who were househeads went berserk! The whole album is a treat. Track one lays the foundation of original Detroit Techno: the coming together of all people and the preservation of the inner city (by the way, that same theme was reflected in some earlier Chicago records) Track four is a really interesting tune especially being of a slower tempo. Track six is a definite favorite, as it is such a "happy" tune. Track seven is basically a Chicago favorite that dominated the college radio stations. My absolute favorite track is the last one. "Secrets Of The Mind" is very hypnotic and it has the subtle Chicago flavor mixed with the upfront Detroit industrial sound. This is an album you can trust! October 29, 2004
