Made Gold Part 1 – Made Records

Label: Made Records

2006 saw Made Records attempt their second major assault on the dance and club worlds with a slew of eager releases that included iio and Jimmy James (not he of the Bitish Soul band, the Vagabonds but the chap who dresses up as Marilyn Monroe and Cher and came up with the decidedly chintzy ‘Jamestown’ record sometime last year – a bit like Joe Longthorn, only more unsettling). And what you have here is a kind of sampler album. It’s not that I’m reluctant to use the word ‘hits album’. Well, alright, I am reluctant to use it as from this side of the Atlantic, at least, there hasn’t been one single ‘goldie’ amongst them.  In the US, however, where people still buy records by Garth Brooks and Eminem, folks like iio had a #1 Billboard ‘smash’ with ‘Is It Love’ featured here as a ‘much sought after Starkillers remix’. And I don’t use those quotes lightly. Also included are tracks by ‘Nymph’.
