Hot on the heels of the excellent compilations Trance Nation America and House Nation America comes Ministry of Sound's latest two-disc DJ face-off, Club Nation America. As with the trance and house versions in the series (the former featuring Taylor and Jimmy Van M, the latter, Little Louie Vega and Erick Morillo), two DJs are each given a full CD for their wax-spun spells. This time East Coast DJ Johnny Vicious is handed the reins on the first disc, on which he delivers an unapologetically aggressive, pop-trance party classic featuring work from Delerium, Paul van Dyk, BT, and a few of his own self-produced groovers. The U.K.'s Tall Paul takes over on the second disc, using remixed Moby and Fatboy Slim, among others, to piece together an irresistible spider web of fat, sticky beats. This release is another example of Ministry of Sound's taste in DJs, and it brings their latest cause--the takeover of America's hearts and minds--that much closer to reality. --Matthew Cooke
