Shakedown 2

I'd never heard of Freemasons before....so for a musical 'blind date', this was a winner.

Item arrived pretty quickly and was as advertised. I was really only looking for one song but the whole album is decent

First heard a Freemason's song in a club in Boston several years ago and have loved them since then. I was amazed to find all this product on Amazon. Keep up the good work.

What a fantastic piece of work these guys have produced. They can take a somewhat played out U.S mainsteam song and make musically amazing and solid. BUY IT!...Do you guys remember the Hustlers Convention?..:-)

Loved it.

I bought this CD because for only one song. Kelly Rowland's song.The rest of the song will not be my prefered ones.

Dance music remains popular and a resurgence has been helped along especially by David Guetta and his collaborations with hip hop artists, (smart move, keep dance music 'cool' by joining up with hip hop's standout artists)but for true dance mania without the rap element I thoroughly recommend Freemansons and the stunning Shakedown 2. Yes the typical thudding dance beat is there but the almost symphonic, anthemic flavour sets the songs apart - songs are not just reinvented - they are ignited.....check out Heard It Through The Grapevine which becomes current. The Eurythmics Here Comes That Rain Again gets a reworking, as does Kelly Rowland's Work. Kylie is there with her much underrated The One. But for true magical mayhem head straight to Beyonce's Ring The Alarm and Sophie Ellis Bextor's Heartbreak is a Dancer. This truly is knocking on Heaven's Door. The vocal styles differ (Beyonce is insistent, Sophie more tentative) and match the driving beat but what sets these two songs apart especially is, come to think of it, what seems to be a Freemasons trademark - passages within a song that consist of musical "layering" that steadily builds and leads up to a dizzying, hypnotic, almost transcendental,crescendo. Building block bliss! However... if you're looking for something a little more grounded, go no further than the first four tracks on CD1. Perfect for the gym treadmill; the tracks blend effortlessly into each other and become 'earworms' long after you have hopped off the machine and headed out the door....

I bought the first double cd from Freemasons, titled Shakedown, and listened to each CD start to finish over and over for a year. Now that shakedown 2 is out, I'm starting the cycle over again. This time, the freemasons have included a few new mash-ups that sound unbelievable. Simply put, best mixed dance music cd - ever!

perfect and speedy delivery

enjoyed listening to in car. Husband like a mixture of old and new music sometimes. Think this one hit the spot.

It's funny how rubbish the standard radio versions of some of these songs are in comparison.

Excellent
