Hypnotica [debut]
release date: Jul. 8, 2003
format: digital
[album rate: 2,5 / 5]

Track highlights: 1. "Satisfaction" (4 / 5) - 2. "Able to Love" (3 / 5) - 3. "No Matter What You Do"

Studio debut album by Italian electro house artist Benny Benassi (aka Marco Benassi) under the name of 'Benny Benassi Presents the Biz' (the Biz being the singers Paul French and Violeta Bratu). Benassi had a major world hit with the track "Satisfaction" written by his cousin Alle Bennassi (aka Alessandro Benassi). The two cousins also perform under the name of Benassi Bros. Apart from "Satisfaction" and a few other tracks the album tends to be a bit too repetitive, but I guess that's part of the style, although, several tracks take up the same bits and pieces again and again, which makes it tiresome as a whole. The album works in small doses and definitely functions as party music. The official video is quite nice though.
