This review is from: Pump Up The Volume (3 Tracks) (Audio CD)

Perhaps the most influential one-hit wonder ever. Regardless of your musical tastes, this CD is essential in understanding the evolution of modern music. Includes a very good b-side to boot!

5.0 out of 5 stars most groundbreaking top 10 hit ever.., Dec 5 2003

This review is from: Pump Up The Volume (3 Tracks) (Audio CD)

in 1989, MARRS released Pump Up The Volume, which became a massive hit around the world. It was also the first US / UK top 10 hit to be composed entirely of samples.
Many music writers consider that PUTV inalterably changed the face of pop music. Consider the fact that Rick Astley was one of the biggest artists in the world in 1989, and you will begin to appreciate the impact of this great single.
It is truly a dance music classic, as much a keynote in the history of dance music as Blue Monday by New Order or Autobahn by Kraftwerk.
I am always pleased to see the reactions of first time listeners to this song, most of whom find it difficult to believe that this was released in 1989, not 1999 or even more recently.

The only negative thing I can say about this song is that it sort of paved the way for people like will smith to sample old songs to death without any originality at all, something MARRS definitely have not done with their masterpiece.

This CD has four different versions of Pump up the Volume, plus a song that would be better off never having existed in first place.

So, basically, it's a matter of whether you like Pump up the Volume or not. To me, this is one of the greatest tecnho/dance songs ever. I just can't get tired of it.
