ATC

Now 6 is definetely the best CD in the Now series yet! I love it! Most of the songs are really good. I love ATC's "Around The World", as well as K-Ci & JoJo's "Crazy" because they have great lyrics and music. I also like Jennifer Lopez's song,, as well as Coldplay's and Destiny's Child's "Independent Women Part I", which is really good. Samantha Mumba absolutely has potential, and I really like Incubus' "Drive", because I love the lyrics a lot. But my 3 favorite songs are as follows: 3) Fuel's "Hemorrhage (In My Hands), because the lyrics rock as does the music. 2) 3LW's "No More" because it is just a great song! But number 1 is Crazy For This Girl by Evan and Jaron, because it has awesome lyrics, awesome music, an awesome beat, and Evan and Jaron have got GREAT singing voices!
But there's a downside...'NSYNC's song, even if it's good, is VERY old (1 year and 2 months old when this C.D. was released!), some might find Shaggy's song inappropriate (but I still like it), and I HATE Creed's "With Arms Wide Open", mainly because of bad lyrics, scratchy voices, and horrid music! All the other songs not mentioned here are good.

Still, the upside makes up for the downside very well, and it's a great album for the pop listener, and I highly recommend this.

I purchased Now 6 in October of 2001. I was bored and needed to find my taste in music...now 5 years later and wiser. I've decided to give the run down on each song.

1.Britney Spears-Stronger: I've seen the video for this....it's hookable but doesn't cut it for me..Too popish and repeatitive. She can sing but she put too much in it. Using tech equipment and thunder. Girls who like her or there mom's might go for it lol 3/10

2.Samantha Mumba-Gotta Tell You: When i first heard this song i liked the lyrics. The video made sense also. It's still pop but not popish as stronger. It falls into pop and romantic. Sure I'll let it play. 5/10

3.*NSYNC-Bye Bye Bye: Terrible! Need I say more? So annoying Not surprised one of the member's is gay. 0/10

4.ATC-Around The World(La La la La La): Man...i so can smell sell out..only thing good about it is the beat. This is the type of techno i won't fall for. The lyrics don't even make sense Skip! or maybe i knew where it was on the cd scratch! 0/10

5.Jennifer Lopez-Love Don't Cost a Thing: Ok it's better but can get annoying...they played this song alot for the movie the wedding planner go figure. She sings of how love isn't about money and be loved for free. If she didn't add in of the gangsta style I might have gone for it more. 4/10

6.Destiny's Child-Independant Woman Part 1: Sucks! Sell out for the movie Charlie's Angel's I think they were bored and saw money on the table when they were writing this song 0/10

7.Shaggy-It Wasn't Me: Good music. Good lyrics. Enjoyable. Except the other guy singing like he's from jamaica. 6/10

8.3LW-No More(Baby I'ma Do Right): When this came out. Girls Sing to this song....maybe i'm missing something but it's not for me. They hide there voices from the equilizer. Doesn't cut it for me. And plus I have different thoughts about the lyrics. The lyrics cover for the guys who can get girls just like that. And for the easy girls who sing about guys who are not faithful. Just break up! lol 2/10

9.K-Ci & JoJo- Crazy: I usually skip this song and hardly give it alot of listening. It's ok for when your at school dance and want to have a slow dance with a girl you have a crush on.Too much of the equalizer for the voices. Sure I'll give it a listen. 5/10

10.R. Kelly-I Wish: Sucks because he has the kids go I wish I wish every 15 seconds. Other then that it doesn't give any feeling for me. Gets better after the first two minutes. Lyrics are not bad. I've skipped this track and haven't given it much listening until now. 5/10

11.Backstreet Boys-Shape of My Heart: Good Song. I didn't want to have it played on the radio but they did. I'm not a fan of the Backstreet Boys I'm not much of a boy band listener. But this song is good. Good lyrics. Good music. Surprises me. 7/10

12.Evan and Jaron-Crazy For This Girl: Good Song just as good as track 11. It gives you a feel of a montana dude living in the city and falling for a girl who lives in the next building. He sings of a girl he loves and wonders if she knows or not. The main chorus "Would you look at her she looks at me she's got me thinking about her constantly. but she don't know how i feel. and she carry's on without a doubt. i wonder if she's figured it out that i'm crazy for this girl...i'm crazy for this girl." That's part of the song. Awesome lyrics. Hats off 8/10

13.Coldplay-Yellow: Good Song. I sometimes skip..sometimes play..depends on the mood. Not bad lyrics 7/10

14.Lenny Kravitz-Again: Not bad...same thing as yellow sometimes skip sometimes play. he wonders of seeing this girl again and how he can win with her. 6/10

15.Fuel-Hemorrhage(In My Hands): Perfect Song. I've replayed this song a couple of times. Great song. Surprised i never heard it on the radio....radio has weird taste. 9/10

16.Creed-With Arms Wide Open: Good song but I think differently of the band now then 5 years ago. They broke up due to contract issues....smell's like sell out attitude. Anyway. Good song I still like and still will play...at least better then replaying my sacriface on the radio a billion times during 2001 and 2002.Which is another sign of sellout. Still good song. 9/10

17.Incubus-Drive: Good song for when i'm driving. 9/10

18.U2-Beautiful Day: They played this song in the movie "Bandits" with Bruce Willis. Not bad...but not my favorite now as when it was released. 7/10

19.Everclear-Am Radio: It's ok my friends liked it. I don't know what everclear was doing. Were they singing or giving us a history lesson...I'm all set...end cd 3/10.

In concluding this long review. I hope it gives you future buyers help to decide to buy it or not. In my opinion I think it's just better to download the songs you think you might like or pick up the album itself of the artists. I don't know I feel i shouldn't have bought it now five years later. I should of gotten to know how to download more or buy the artist's album itself. I was 13 and had no taste in music. I've noticed the last half of the cd was starting to skip...possibly since i gave it alot of playing then the first half. In end I give the cd an average 3 stars.

Thank you for reading,

Alex.

Everclear gives us pop and Backstreet doesn't suck...it's all here on the next in the 'Now!' series, yet another album full of songs you've already heard 100 times and yet for some reason decided to subject yourself again. Yes, it's true no matter what you say, that this is as guilty a pleasure as they come, for you're buying an album full of the same songs that, had they come on the radio, you'd turn off in a heartbeat with most likely a disgusted face and a remark like "not this crap again" or "I just heard this song."

Fast forward to now. Today you buy this album, or if you already own it you put it in your CD player and you enjoy yourself because these are no longer the songs you hate to hear but the songs you long to hear for they remind you of your yesteryears...and that's why the 'Now!' series is so entertaining...because while it may not have seemed it in 1999, this album has staying power.

So this time Britney starts things off, and while 'Stronger' isn't by any means a 'strong' song it's not as horrid as 'Lucky' was and is a decent listen. Samantha Mumba, another one hit wonder, offers us a taste of something good on 'Gotta Tell You' and of course N'Sync rock with 'Bye Bye Bye' which, I don't care who you are you have to love!

There are some blah tracks like ATC's 'Around the World' and the horrid Destiny's Child 'Independant Woman Pt. 1' but their made up for by Shaggy's 'It Wasn't Me' and R. Kelly's 'I Wish'. I'm also a huge 3LW fan and just love 'No More' while I could live without 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' while it doesn't make me skip the track. K-Ci & JoJo make a comeback with the 'Save the Last Dance' anthum 'Crazy' and they score...I mean as much as I try to hate this song I just can't (maybe cuz I love the movie so much).

As I mentioned, Backstreet doesn't suck here. I actually enjoy 'Shape of my Heart'...so sue me.

The rock here is a decent mix, Kravitz resurfacing AGAIN with 'Again' and it's a great song. I can't hate it or diss it in anyway, I've always loved it and always will. Not a huge fan of 'Yellow' as much as I love Coldplay, I just never really cared for that song. Fuel and Incubus are great if not...played out, and Creed is Creed although 'With Arms Wide Open' while huge in it's own respects does nothing for the band really. I don't mind 'AM Radio' I just don't like it. It's too poppy even for Everclear and that upsets me. Other than that the only bone I have to pick with the Now! people is that fact that they really need to mix these better instead of having all the rock at the end, they need to intergrate the genre's. That way we can get everything all at once!

I just love the NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC! series. The NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC! series are nothing more and nothing less than CD's with a bunch of hit songs on them. It's great for people who only like certain songs and don't feel like wasting money on a whole album when you're looking for only one or two songs from certain artists. It also lets you carry around less CDs so you do not have to carry around your entire CD collection wherever you go! Here's the list of tracks and what I think of them:

"Stronger" Britney Spears - - this is Britney's best song, after "(You Drive Me) Crazy". This song even sounds a bit like "Crazy". [5/5 stars]

"Gotta Tell You" Samantha Mumba - - this is a really cool song! It's a great uptempo, dance song. Samantha Mumba is a great artist with an awesome voice! [5/5 stars]

"Bye Bye Bye" *N SYNC - - blah! This is just about the most annoying track on this whole compilation. [0/5 stars]

"Around The World (La La La La La)" ATC - - this is a great dance song! I love the beat and lyrics. ATC's vocals are pretty good, too. Now this is a REAL dance song! [5/5 stars]

"Love Don't Cost A Thing" Jennifer Lopez - - I just love J.Lo's music and I think she's a great role model. This song is wonderful and one of my favorites on this whole compilation. [5/5 stars]

"Independent Women [Prt. 1]" Destiny's Child - - amazing song. Though it's old now, it's still one of my favorites from Destiny's Child. [5/5 stars]

"It Wasn't Me" Shaggy - - I just love this song. Though I didn't like how they edited the song on this CD...the original version is so much better. But all in all, a fantastic song! [5/5 stars]

"No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)" 3LW - - well, okay, I guess. Definitely not my favorite track, though. I like the song...I just don't like 3LW - they sound like a bunch of whiny babies! [3/5 stars]

"Crazy" K-Ci & Jojo - - good song. It's a sweet ballad. I like the lyrics and K-Ci & Jojo's vocals are pretty good. [4/5 stars]

"I Wish" R. Kelly - - pretty okay. Though really not one of my favorites. [3/5 stars]

"Shape Of My Heart" Backstreet Boys - - definitely the best track on this entire CD! I'm a huge fan of the BSB and their music rocks! This is an awesome song...never gets boring or old! [10/5 stars]

"Crazy For This Girl" Evan & Jaron - - this is a wicked cool song. I just love it. Evan & Jaron's vocals are awesome and the lyrics are great with a cool beat. [5/5 stars]

"Yellow" Coldplay - - well, not the best song. But it's still pretty listenable. This is more of a hard-core Rock song. Great song. [4/5 stars]

"Again" Lenny Kravitz - - this is Lenny Kravitz's best song! I think this is a totally awesome song. Definitely worth a listen or two. [5/5 stars]

"With Arms Wide Open" Creed - - I absolutely hate this song! It ties with *N SYNC's song on my list as being the two worst songs on this entire CD. Definetely skip over this track! [0/5 stars]

"Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" Fuel - - pretty good song. This is definitely better than Creed's song. Cool. [4/5 stars]

"Drive" Incubus - - I'm surprised that I actually love this song. It's a wicked awesome song - even though it's rock - and definitely cool. [5/5 stars]

"Beautiful Day" U2 - - once again, another okay song. This is one of the few worth-while U2 songs. And only because it won a Grammy for Song of the Year. [3/5 stars]

"A.M. Radio" Everclear - - not too great. I liked the Everclear song that was on the NOW 5 CD a lot better than this one. I'm not really a huge Everclear fan, anyways. [1/5 stars]

So as you can tell, for the most part, this is an excellent CD compilation. It is still great to listen to and enjoy. It's a guilty pleasure CD.

This CD is a great, 19-track CD with a cool mix of Pop, R&B, and Rock songs. Definitely a must-have.

ok, I don't care much for the nsync, britney, and destiny's child tracks, as i dont care for them at all. ATC's "all around the world" is probably by far my favorite track. Theyre one of my favorite artists, and if you enjoyed that song, you'll prolly like their album "planet pop"!

This album is ok, but there is one song on this album that is HOOOT STuff.. Its the Around the world remix featuring G-UNIT! 50 and lloyd banks go nuts on that song.. your should definitely cop this album if you are a dance or hardcore hip hop fan!

This is what music should be all about: fast dance beats, perky music, great vocals, and intelligent lyrics. I love ATC and they're gonna be HUGE. Just watch!

ATC is simply incredible. I'm sure that anyone who's into europop has already listened to a few of their songs, so I'm just reiterating exactly how good ATC is.

From the beginning of europop, there were people who hated it, and there where people who loved it. There wasn't an in between. Thanks to ATC, europop now has the ability to convert people into loving it.

"Around The World (La La La La La)" needs to be listened to by everyone. It's the most played song in German radio history. This song is what converts people. I myself used to resent europop, but once I heard this song, I instantaneously became addicted with it. Soon, I found myself listening to every song by ATC. Eventually, I was where I am now, listening to every europop group that I can find. Unfortunately, I still haven't found anything as good as ATC's "Planet Pop [ENHANCED]".

I thought that ATC's album from 2001 was a fun effort. I still hear echoes of the La La La La La chorus in the catchy Around The World. But the rest of the album is just as good. My Heart Beats Like A Drum, Mistake No. 2, Lonely, Let Me Come and Let Me Go, Magical and others are very fun dance pop. But they are equally good on the ballads, as with . The girls sing the dance numbers more, but the guys are just as good on the ballads. This album does a good job in letting each of the members sing lead on the songs. I still like Thinking of You, which I thought was longer with all the chord changes, but they cram a lot in 3 1/2 minutes of that one song. Sometimes, a few of the songs sound like the ones by Backstreet Boys or Britney Spears. But keep in mind that the pop trend was so very contagious back in 2000 and 2001 with most of those young artists competing for chart space. ATC managed to prove their point with their solid album of songs. Catchy, infectious, addictive. Wished that they'd still be performing now.

This multi national group, with members from The Netherlands, Italy and New Zealand will defenitely make your feets move. "Around The World" and "My Heart Beats Like a Drum" were both catchy uptempo songs with a influence from 90's Eurodance, apart from Eiffel 65 they had more lyrics but still the happy meliodic sound as them, ATC is a quartet with 2 girls and 2 boys, the girls sings most of the songs that were single released but the guys also appear in some. "Why Oh Why" and "Thinking Of You" were also single released, but both slower then the top hits. "Notte D'Amore Con Te" got the hook in Italian, If I'm not mistaken Enrique Iglesias also recoreded the song. There are 18 songs on this album which is a bit too many, not all of them are that good, However there are plenty of cheesy Euro-Dance songs here that won't make you dissapointed. Not all songs sound like "Around The World" though, many ballads for example. A good album nonetheless that could be worth picking up.

I completely understand the need for some amount of repetition in dance music, but this is too much. It's the same tune and the same words the entire way through, and the line "la la la la la" gets repetitive before it even repeats.

There's also a complete lack of energy, if you enjoy the feeling when you let the music to take complete control of your body than this is wholly uninspiring. Get funky? Get robotic.

I don't really like dance music but this is just the greatist song ever. I love the beat w/ the xylophone and synthesizer this song is also so catchy and fun. I love it! Peace!

~tupac_shakur_1996

that's a nice one.a great Dance-Song for your Summerparty.
ATC = A Touch of Class are four trained (Is it the right word?) musical ssingers who met at a Cats-production. So they probably can really sing.
If you like merry (Again is it the right word?) summer music you'll love this song.

In course you're wonder ATC stands for "A touch of Class",this song has no class its just written by sonwriters to make money,its meaningless pop dribble...If you're gonna put lyrics in a song make them meaningfull for Christ sake!!!But if all music was good then no one would ever dominate the music scene!!! And ATC definetely wont be dominating the music scene with this song or their debut album "Pop World" the song is dancy and catchy which are the only reasons I rated it a three... Its not worth the money you'll spend for this import single,if you really like the song buy the album,although be warned the album is more meaningless pop dribble!!! *enjoy*

I have been feelin' this single from the very begining, I was one of the peeps that was feelin' it even before it came out. I have probably listened to "Around The World" enough times that it would probably be played out, but yet I am still not tired of it and the sound of the remixes has made the songs spirit last even longer. Me more than anyone is a fan of all remixes and this are some of the best I have heard in a while, especially from international groups. The remixes on this single are so like that of the ones here in the United States, I guess thats what makes them friendly to peoples ears.

Track Listing:

1.) Radio Version (3:35) = This is somewhat like the original but it is the radio version, to tell you the truth, I cant determine the difference between this version and the original.

2.) Alternative Radio Version (3:31) = This track is just another great Dance Versions of the song. This has a great simple not tacky beat that is an original in its own nature.

3.) Acoustic Mix (3:20) = I thought this was supposed to be acoustic, I mean all the music was created by actual instruments, but I thought acoustic also meant new vocals. They just used the old vocals and put them to the back of the music, this is the first acoustic song I have heard like this. Usually Acoustic tracks have newer vocals to them or a recent recording of unheard vocals. Regardless of the vocal factor, this remix is all good, I'm feelin' it.

4.) Ruegsegger#wittwer Club Mix (5:37) = Not only does the remixer have a funky name but the beat also gots funk to it. This is by far my favorite remix on this maxi single, it has great beats and a medium dark feel to it. What I like about most is they add an echo to the voice and it blends in great with the beat. They also do some crazy effects to the vocals, that I just love to death.

5.) World In Motion (3:31) = I'm sure most of you peeps will be feeling the beat to this remix, because it is similar to that of any pop song in the United States. But the sad this about this remix is that it is deprived of vocals. So basically this remix is all instrumental, but thats all good because I'm feelin' the beat.

What I like about all these remixes is that there short and not those 20 minute tacky remixes that are just tastless. This song has everything you need, and a remix for everyone. All Around the world people will be buying this single, so don't be the only one without it.

I completely understand the need for some amount of repetition in dance music, but this is too much. It's the same tune and the same words the entire way through, and the line "la la la la la" gets repetitive before it even repeats.

I first heard of ATC when I was visiting Switzerland over the summer in June 2000. I loved the beats from their debut single "Around the World" and I loved the video for their follow up single "My Heart Beats Like A drum." Their follow up single, ballad "Thinking of You" had this great R&B, dance, ballad, vocal sound that makes you wanna call your boy/girlfriend this minute! The first time i heard the album, i was sort of shocked..it didn't sound so good. But i listened over and over again, wow..that sure did it! Now i can't take it out of my CD player.

Other cool songs on the album are "Lonely", "So Magical", "Mind Machine", "Love is Blind" in fact ALL THE SONGS are GREAT!! just listen to them over and over, not the same day but every other day or something...and you will start to like them as well!

Now ATC has released their next single, Why oh Why but this is the last single from Planet Pop :-( Anyways...i hope another album from A Touch of Class comes our way!

Planet Pop is a mixture of songs that will forever make youwant to dance! If you enjoy ... or are into the Euro DanceCraze, this album is definately for you. It's a must for everyone.This album is packed with awesome tracks such as Around the World, MyHeart Beats Like A Drum, Mistake No. 2, Why Oh Why, So Magical, andMind Machine. Why miss out on the fun of owning Planet Pop? There isno need for hesitation when planning on getting this album. Thevocals from Tracey, Livio, Sarah, and Joe are incredibly unbelievable.Get your copy of Planet Pop today! Don't waste any more time beingwithout this album! You certainly won't regret getting a cd this fullof awesome tracks, vocals, and beats!

I must admit that I like the first single from this album "around the world", otherwise this album would get 1 star. That first song is upbeat and hypnotically catchy, no matter how vacuous and generic the lyrics and instruments are. After that however, there is almost nothing new or interesting on the album. Generic, repetitious, mediocre - all of this and more. Granted, it fits right into a genre that contains a great deal of these same features, but it's late in the game and somewhat tired as far as a musical offering.

ATC is supposed to stand for "A Touch Of Class" but if ever there was a mis-named group this is it. If this CD has class then George W Bush is a dynamic speaker. It has one memorable tune in "Around The World" and the rest is an exercise in mediocrity. This same sounding 'euro-pop' is just an excuse for song writers to churn out the same tune with different words and arrangements. Give it a miss, there are many more CDs out there in this genre that are much more worthy of your money. Try Steps, BBMak, or even Scooch who all have much more variety and energy than this coaster.

ATC's success began with their first single "Around the World," which stayed seven consecutive weeks at no.1 position in German single chart (Media Control). The success of "Around the World" is in its mellow and pleasant Euro-sound, which made the single a huge hit not only at ATC's home of Germany by going triple gold (750,000 units) but also earning gold awards in several other European countries including Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, France. It did not take long for ATC to drop another hit single this time calling it "My Heart beats Like a Drum," which delivering similar type of soft Euro-sound found itself as high as no. 3 in Germany's single chart. Their complete album called "Planet Pop," is full of songs which are not only dancable like the first two singles but also are soft enough to listen to all day long one after another without getting tired a bit. Those who fell in love with ATC's first two singles "Around the World" and " My Heart beats Like a Drum" will also fall in love with the album "Planet Pop" because it contains tracks like "Why of Why," "So Magical," "Let Me Come Let Me Go" which sound very similar. The album mostly produced by Germany's King of Dance (Alex Cristensen) appeared in position no. 11 in its first week of release.

Again, as I posted in "Set Me Free", I would wait until the album comes out, from ATC. It will be their second Album and it will feature this single, I'm in Heaven, plus another handful of great pop/dancefloor/party tracks like...
"Call On Me"
"Set Me Free"
"I'm in Heaven"
"Star"
"Baby Bye Bye"
"No Place Like Home"
"Future in Your Hand"
and more!!!

Why Oh Why is one of the best songs by ATC !!! ATC is the best dance act to ever emerge in the music industry and why the heck they ever split up is way beyond me !!!! For those about to dance ATC salutes you !!!! Why Oh Why is one great dance floor anthem and ATC ( and Livio ) rule !!!! =-)

At first, the original single from the album wasn't too cool. But i bought the single since I'm a huge ATC fan and boy was it a great decision. #2 on this single is absolutely awesome! They should release this song on radio instead of the original. Buy it and you'll see! GO ATC!

To tell you the truth, I didn't like this song when i first heard it, but after listening to the remixes I was glad I gave it a second chance. The remixes can't get any better than this because they are not to long or not to short but just right and they sound great. I think this song is all original and before comparing it to Eiffel 65 remember that women sing this track.

1.) Why Oh Why (Radio Edit) (3:30) = This is just like the original except shorter so it would be more radio friendly.

2.) Why Oh Why (Wicked Kid Radio Edit) (3:33) = This remix is an original in its own and actually sounds better with the vocals than that of the original beat.

3.) Why Oh Why (Wicked Kid Anexation Mix) (6:48) = Your probably thinking that this remix sounds like that of the remix of track two since it is by the same remixer, however this remix is extremely different. This remix is more dance friendly and has a darker feel to it, there are also some vocal edits to this remix.

4.) Why Oh Why (Liquid Child Remix) (6:47) = This is by far the most darkest and fastest out of all the remixes on this single. The vocals are also speeded up a bit to make your dancing experience beyond great.

5.) Why Oh Why (Extended Version) (4:35) = For those of you who couldn't get enough of the original than here is an extended version for you, but it isn't all original, there is so new beats to it.

"Why Oh Why" should you get this single: 1.) Because I said so! 2.) The song is hot! 3.) The remixes are tight! 4.) The list goes on and on! Now don't be caught without this hot track.

ATC has just pulled out another big victory, in music that is! Another amazing single, just like "Around the World", "My heat beats like a drum", and "Thinking of you", this is a dance-able song and a big soon-to-be club smash hit!

This song is such a great tune to dance to or just drive in the car and sing out loud to . ATC is one of the best bands ever to hit the air waves and I have no clue at all why this awesome band broke up !!! They are by far the best band to come out of the early 2000's and by far the best dance band ever !!! I swear if you love dance music and great looking people to look at while listening to music this band and song are for you . Livio ( the blonde guy ) is by far the hottest guy ever !!!! 5 stars here in my book =-)

This is the second slammin' track by ATC or "Vengaboys 2"(because their songs sound very similar). Their debut-single "Around the World" was a smash on the airwaves and in the clubs. This single should surpass that one in popularity easily. The first time that I heard it, I was amazed how similar, yet how much better, this song is compared to their first one. The lyrics are totally cool, and they will have you singing along with it on the first play. Plus, there is that awesome, driving beat. I really like the fact that they included six remixes on this single. Remixes I might add, that are all outstanding! "My heart beats like a drum" any time that I hear this great song, and I'm sure your's will too. It's just sooooo cool! I would highly recommend getting this instead of their full-length "Planet Pop", you will be glad you did. If my review was helpful to you, then don't forget to vote. THANKS!

When I listen to this track my heart beats harder than a drum more like a whole orchestra. This is by far the hottest hit ATC has released and it about to blow up. When I first purchased the "Planet Pop" album this was by far my favorite song, I truly believe this song is hotter than "Around The World" which is a great catchy toon by ATC as well.

1.) My Heart Beats Like A Drum (Radio Edit) (3:43) = This is a shorter version of this hot song that lead straight from the beat of "Around the World".

2.) My Heart Beats Like A Drum (Extended Club Mix) (5:18) = This be a funky disco like remix of the song or at least that's what the beginning of the remix makes you think. This remix features most of the original beat speeded up making this remix just as hot as the original. You can't hate on the funky vocal edit at the start of this remix, that's pretty hot too.

3.) My Heart Beats Like A Drum (Ruegsegger#wittwer Club Remix) (7:44) = I was really pleased with the remix of "Around The World" that this peep did and knew I wouldn't have been let down with this remix. This remix has a fierce beat to it and like the original it is a classic in its own. This remix also features some crazy beats and incredible vocal edits.

4.) My Heart Beats Like A Drum (Triple X Extended Remix) (5:59) = This remix has a touch of not only class but a bit of disco and I be feelin' this remix on the dance floor.

5.) My Heart Beats Like A Drum (Ruegsegger#wittwer Frantic Remix) (8:17) = This remix is like a journey because the beat constantly change from dark to light from day to night. The beat to this remix is even catchier than that of the original and the vocal edit are crazy.

6.) My Heart Beats Like A Drum (Triple X Dub Attack) (5:44) = This remix has a touch of disco but is nothing like that of track 4. This remix by far has the funkiest vocal edits out of all the remixes on this single, but its hot and I be feelin' it.

When I got this single my heart was beating like a drum, like drum and my feet stomped the beat like a drum. Don't be caught without this single because that would be just plain "dum dum dum"!!!

ATC has the talent and music to rule the USA, they are even better than the Vengaboys! Buy it, and you will see for yourself.

THIS SINGLE HAS SIX VERSIONS. EACH IS A CLASSIC IN ITS OWN RIGHT. THE MUSIC IS VERY UPBEAT TECHNO AND THE WORDS ARE VERY VERY CATCHY. YOU WILL BE SINGING THEM TO YOURSELF AND NOT KNOW WHY. HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT GET SICK OF THIS SONG, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HEAR IT. MY ADVICE, BUY IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT.

I first heard this album in 1996 when I was attending UCLA. A friend of mine from SF turned me on to these guys, and I just wish they had recorded another album.
Tight beats and lyrics are heard throughout this album; it's easy to tell these guys are from SF by the funkdafied beats. Songs like 'Lyrical Riot,' 'All Too Critical,' 'When We Ride,' and especially, 'Key to SFC' are typical of the albums that were coming out of SF and the Bay Area during this time.
I put this album on the same level as RBL Posse's 'Ruthless By Law' (a Bay Area classic). Even though the album has the SF sound, it's completely original, and one of the best underground albums I've ever heard. I definitely know my hip-hop, so I had to pick it up again when I had the chance. I originally had this on tape, but I lost it. When I found it on CD, I picked it up and had another CD to add to my collection. It's definitely a Bay Area classic.
Too bad very few people have ever heard this album or will ever hear these guys. From what I've heard, the group broke up and never recorded another album.
