A Huge Decent From the Oustanding ThriveMix01, Unfortunately,

The first Thrive Mix CD was, and still is, one of my favorite dance compilations EVER. It had a perfect mix of dance, trance, and funky house. It had some of my favorite songs ever on it. I had high hopes for Thrive Mix 2, I really did. But then I saw the track list and I had no idea how it could possibly top the first Thrive Mix. No surprise, it didn't.
While there are some good songs on Thrive Mix 2, it just is leagues away from Thrive Mix 01. The mixing truthfully isn't that good - plain and not very well done. Many songs left me bored, while some songs kept me entertained. There is no trance to be found here; just house. Truthfully, I do not like house as much as trance at all. It can get kind of repetitive and even boring while trance usually, if not always, keeps me on my feet. Thrive Mix 2's slogan is "out with the old, in with the new", but I think it should've kept to the saying "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it." I'll go through each song.

Loving these mixes!!! This is my new work out CD. Great mainstream songs with a upbeat twist. I especially like that Pussycat Dolls "Don't Cha" and the INXS track. The RENT "Seasons" song is very cool...never heard that before.
I'd recommend this mix to anyone that loves house music, but wants to have a familiar melody or lyrics to sing along to!

not a great mix--but some hard to find remixes...,

I agree that this disc has a lot of slow down due to some not so hot song selections. I personally think disc 2 flows better than disc 1, and I was really happy to find a couple of rare remixes on here because I'm a big collector of hard-to-find mixes.
