Editorial Product Review:Album Description:A true phenomenon in sound encompassing hip hop, soul, and the best blunted beats all mingled to perfection by Farina himself. To the uninitiated, Mark is the master of the blend. Urb Magazine voted him 'Best Dance DJ' in their recent January/February issue, and BPM Magazine proclaimed, 'For many downtempo fans, 'Mushroom Jazz' is where it all began.' The new album features new and unreleased material from the finest in Mushroom Jazz, and includes a bumpin' new original track, 'Cali Spaces'. :Hailing originally from Chicago but long associated with ...

Editorial Product Review: :Not exactly dance-pop as commonly defined by Erasure or the Pet Shop Boys, Dirty Vegas's self-titled album nonetheless fits into the genre. In fact, 'trace-pop' is arguably the best definition, as it is the likely offspring of Madonna's Ray of Light and Electronic's seminal debut CD.

Editorial Product Review: :The two singles 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)' and 'Things That Make You Go Hmmmm....' certainly do the trick. They are powerful dance-pop tracks with a serious hip-hop trunk deep enough to support (almost) the rest of the album, which is a bit of a motivational cool-down.

Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
