Customer Reviews

Still fresh
When it comes to funky house I normally stick to Hed Kandi and try to avoid all that nonsense of them going downhill since Doyle left to set up the Tokyo Project (and later Fierce Angel).
I was really surprised by this album and to be honest I only bought it because it was 45 pence but I'm really pleased.
3 cd's of generally very high quality funky house mixed by the creator of HK. What a treat.
In my opinion cd2 is the strongest of the album with massive tracks from the Freemasons, Inaya Day and The Praised Cats. There are very few fillers in this collection, which is always a relief, especially with some of the dross thats released by other labels.
The mixing isn't of stratospheric quality but that would be one of my few bugbears as every track has its place and the fact it flows nicely is just the icing on the cake.
Superb, and highly recommended.

...I really think so....
So, having flown the Hed Kandi nest, can Mr Doyle do it on his own. I would say that 9 out of 10 CD players, that expressed a preference, say that Tokyo Project is noto to be sneezed at! A good thumping number of tracks on this, some to swing your pants to and others to sit out and let others bop to. I would say that 3 discs is too many (I can easily cut it down to 2) but no doubt Mr D wanted the three to mirror recent HK offerings in its format. One star dropped because of the number of fair to middling tracks, in my view. I reserve judgement if Mr D will carry on taking my pennys off me (as Hed Kandi have well and truely blown it now, as far as I'm concerned).

Turning Japanese? I really think so!
Like some other reviewers I've been very disappointed with the recent Hed Kandi offerings since the departure of the remarkably consistent Mark Doyle - former Hed Honcho. No surprise then to find that his latest venture is a knockout collection of dance grooves, and it's certainly left me looking forward to The Tokyo Project's arrival (in the form of DJ Eric Kupper) to Swansea on December 2nd.

Discs 1 and 2 are very similar in style - both featuring funky jump-around tunes with a smattering of well-worn favourites (I for one never get tired of The Praise Cats' "Shined On Me"). Sometimes the mix doesn't work too well - difficult to put "Drop The Pressure" in the middle of a track listing so I suppose it was asking for trouble. However both CDs are remarkably consistent with hardly a duff track in sight. Great to see Jamiroquai make an appearance with "Seven Days" as well as Basement Jaxx with the brilliant "Do Your Thing". OK, well-known and (gasp!) commercially successful, but great tunes nonetheless - and they work very well in the mix.

CD3 is clearly the TP equivalent of "Twisted Disco" - much more electronic and heavier and suitable for freaking out at 3am! Never my favourite genre and not usually my cup of tea at all but the quality of the music here is very very good. This disc comes worryingly close to trance on the odd track but fortunately it never quite crosses over. I can imagine some of my younger mates rating this the best of the three. Credit where it's due though, the mixing is actually the best on CD3, but this one's strictly for early hours partying (after quite a few beers in my case!). I agree with other reviewers, the Killers track is sublime, as is Royksopp's almost quirky "49 percent". Those who've made a sport out of knocking Mr.Doyle in recent times will hate him for including "I Like The Way" by the Bodyrockers, but you get that feeling that here is a man who has total freedom at long last to do (and pick) what he likes.

A word on the Scissor Sisters' "Filthy/Gorgeous" - my favourite song of last year (partic the US version) has had the guts ripped out of it here - it's certainly interesting but how could anyone remove THAT bass line??

OK, I'm picking. At the end of the day you're getting 3 high quality albums for the cost of one and the new Team Kandi had better turn things around with "The Mix 2006" or fans will be turning Japanese!
