Producers of compilation CDs have become so adept at their trade that now no sound or era goes undocumented. Yet the professionalism and unimpeachable taste that marks compilations like New York Noise (dedicated to Gotham’s early-eighties “no wave” moment) is beginning to feel joylessly curatorial. So Belgian D.J. duo the Glimmer Twins’ compilation Serie Noire 2 sounds not just welcome but something like a tectonic shift. On the disc, the Glimmer Twins trace a sensibility—alternately bassy, druggy, and camp—through disparate eras like industrial, acid house, and New Wave. The pair make one astounding connection after another, from the metallic dub of Public Image Ltd. to the Muzak-y, department-store pop of German rockers Rheingold. Where fellow Belgians 2 Many DJs mocked po’-faced D.J. culture with garish mixes of Michael Jackson and Daft Punk, the Glimmer Twins thread their needle through seemingly impossible-to-reconcile material. It’s a secret history of pop that only the savviest historian could write. --ethan_brown@newyorkmag.com, From the Feb 2, 2004 issue of New York Magazine.

Quite surprised to see no one has reviewed this amazing danceable funk-collection. Compiled by Belgium's finest dj-duo Mo & Benoelie. They pick the right tracks from any genre, as long as it's funks. You're just obliged to move!!... The True FunkMasters. --(cinematiq@angelfire.com) from Kortrijk,Belgium - Rive Eskimo Vol.2 - Various Artists [Amazon UK]
These Belgian producers give you a worldclass mix of all kinds of music. This is not for for underground or hardhouse fans. Think 70's and 80's, electro, disco and house, blend it, serve chilled and dance! A classic in its genre (whatever it is!). --hanskrielen2 from Haarlem, The Netherlands - Eskimo Vol.3 (2002) - Various Artists [Amazon UK]

Once again Eskimo (the Glimmer Twins and Dirk) serve up another chunk of funk, disco and 80's hipness straight from their decks. I never thought I'd be listening to Sydney Youngblood (remember he?) and Angie Stone in the same mix. Eskimo take 70's, 80's and 90's music and mix them seamlessly together - with the odd snippet of ("what's that? I'm sure that sounded like...") other artists thrown in for good measure. This CD bats it's eyelashes at cheesiness then turns around and throws a rum and coke in it's face. Quite simply, this is FAN-BLIMMIN-TASTIC. Imagine sitting on a block of ice in an igloo, with the air conditioning on full blast, sucking on an ice-lolly - this CD is that cool. If you have any of the other Eskimo recordings and like the style, then this is another must-have addition. If you've never listened, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST...fun and hip, music doesn't have to be serious all the time. This will make you smile, click your fingers and dance. --ickleshark, amazon.co.uk - Club Culture Club Compilation
