Will come back with more words on it after the second listen!

| #14 / Fri, 12 Oct 07 13:48 i just think the cover is crap, don't read too far into it maiden. oh, and i think the cover for the freakshow cd is even worse. if i didn't know sven, and saw this ginger gypsy with a turband on a cd cover, i wouldn't even pick it up off the shelf to have a look.

Yes I loved the freakshow poster.

| #16 / Fri, 12 Oct 07 17:14 i know, its great, i have the poster set as my desktop. FREAKSHOW at Amnesia was definitely my favourite night in Ibiza. I cant wait for this Eighth Season, the tracklisting looks good, with plenty of surprises. Fuck what the cover looks like, it never matters, cuz its Sven, and everyone should be buying this anyway!

| #20 / Sat, 13 Oct 07 10:50 Well ugly or not the cover is still going to attract hundreds of fans and make them buy the album. After listening to what's on the compilation I must say that Sven is a fucking FREAK! hehe.
If you have noticed some of the tracks date from 2000 which I find very interesting...
Highlights from CD I: hmm ALL OF IT... gotta dig the hypnotic effect of 'Qu'est ce que vous voulez? Hashish ou Opium'
peace.

 | RA Review Sven Vath’s annual The Sound of… mixes compile proven floorfillers from his club season at Cocoon in Ibiza onto two CDs. It is a basic concept, but thankfully it’s always dressed up in a rather amusing package: this year’s Ibiza theme was ‘Freakshow’ and the CD is decorated accordingly, with Sven..

| #26 / Fri, 29 Feb 08 11:39 I agree with the review...the tracks go on to long, we are used to hearing DJ's being more creative nowdays, cuting and looping ect. Still a good cd for the Commercially minded.

| #27 / Fri, 29 Feb 08 16:49 Agree with Saatchi . "Functional at best" describes his mix style doesnt it.. The tune selection is amazing of course(bar Alter Ego - i just don't get it, it doesnt fit), but it's so dissapointing sven doesnt push the limits of djing like hawtin et al are doing right now.. and yeh, the tracks go on for too long - a 9 minute opener, yawn!

| #28 / Fri, 07 Mar 08 08:38 yea the tracklisting kind of doesn't fit, especially his style of playing, but it's still a good album, i bought it and i would still recommend it to others
