Rush
On Rush, Finland?s Ville Virtanen, better known as Darude, has kept his shiny techno sound intact, hoping to duplicate the success of the monstrous singles "Sandstorm" and "Feel That Beat" from 2001?s Before the Storm. Rush may not reach that standard of dance floor nirvana, but the record is impeccably produced, with positive energy and shuddering thumps to spare. It?s also exceedingly brainless, forgetting to mix up its sound and rhythms enough to produce the variety necessary for Darude?s production mix to really take off. Actually, "mix" isn?t even accurate, as it implies a record with some flow and purpose. None of these complaints matter when Darude is on, like when he gets a little dark on "Serendipity," then turns around and goes Ibiza for "Healing." A little more cohesion and a little less filler, however, could have turned this record into more than just a launching point for remixes that other DJs will use to far greater effect. --Matthew Cooke
