Review by transairn Nov 05, 2007
What ijustspeak said!! 'Cerrone By Bob Sinclar' was a very good album as well. Paradise has a LOT of funky disco samples which keep your butt shaking. 'My Only Love' has wonderful lyrics on it by Lee Genesis. Gym Tonic is the popular one with the Jane Fonda Workout "5 6 7 8 and BACK...2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and BACK..."

I consider this an essential album for the underground house music that pushed me to explore other great artists such as Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Vath, Cassius, Magda, Phats & Small.
Review by ijustspeak Feb 23, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
These days, Bob Sinclar has simply become a joke with his convertion to the commercial scene. Let's backtrack some years and pull this out of the bag. It's a french classic packing several filter-shredding floor rockers . My friends still plays these tracks today (Especially Ultimate Funk, which pulls all the girls to the floor). Gym Tonic was also a big hit, but also responsible for others to call Sinclar a thief for crediting the track to himself when it was Thomas Bangalter who mainly did it.
But stories put aside, it's a marvelous party album in a great sleazy sleeve. It feels so sad to see all these artist sell out for money and saturating the market with shitty music. But this release is just brilliant allround. Hail the golden 90's!
