One thing I should mention is the funky layout of the Annual. On the front, it has three women which some men may enjoy looking at if you catch my drift, dancing away to what would appear to be this Annual. Turning it around to the back and you have the tracklisting, but the background of it has many pictures of the past cd covers sold by Ministry of Sound in this year into a collage. This is the same thing when you take out the CD casing. This time, Ministry of Sound has decided to change the casing from 3 plastic cases to 1 big form that contains the plastic CD holders inside. On the front and back it contains the collage of cd tracks, badges, advertisements from previous events or releases in accordance to the Ministry of Sound.

Overall, this Annual contains many decent tunes that you, your mates and club go-getters will absoluetly adore.

My favourite of the Annual has to be on CD 3, Track 8 which is Joey Negro - Make A Move On Me (Acappella) vs Soul Seekerz - Electric Shock 2005. The piano within Electric Shock 2005 makes me want to dance non-stop. I had this song on repeat I think it was 52 times and not one did I get bored. *smiles*

A must-buy for any dance lover.
