Advantages: great track line up, many classics involved
Disadvantages: None as of yet.

...Hi, after buying this cd some time back i didnt yet realise how many good songs were actualy on this 2 disk set. Some of the well known artists which appear on here is, DJ Casper, Special D, Scooter, Kelly Llorenna, LMC vs U2, Ultrabeat, XTM and many more. (see below for full track listing) Compared to any other compilations i have purchased in the past this one has been in the cd player the longest! its great to listen to anytime of the day and basicaly anywhere, whether in your car, house or at work! This CD is a huge compilation of various artists and will be enjoyed by anyone who listen's to it. It follows the genre of more of a clubby/trance/electronic disk comapred to other 'chillout' disks. Overall i rate this CD 10/10 and i love it! Disc 1 1.: Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper 2.: Take Me To The Clouds Above - LMC & U2 3... Read review

...This is a remarkable CD, just like the 1st Cream Classics CD. All the track hear are great with some really standing out like Space Cowboys by Jamiroquai which really shows that they have put the 'real' funk in this CD which leans towards the funky side. Also Go by Moby is a great tune. There are some really classics to be sighted in this CD. It trully defines itself and the mixing is excellent in order to create a smoothing effect throughout the 3 discs. This CD shows what has been an inspiration to the house music that we have now and does bring back a lot of fond memories. Those people wh do love their history of house music, it is a must to get this CD, and having the music pumping out of the stereo as it used to in the 90s.... Read review

...This album covers virtually all of Clapton’s career, starting with Cream and ending with some of his solo work. Personally I feel that there are many better tracks that could represent his solo career (Change the World for example). No matter who plays it, cod reggae versions of I Shot the Sheriff have no place on a CD! Happily all the Cream tracks are good, and yes – Layla and Sunshine of Your Love are all present and correct. However, the solo work outnumbers the band work and a lot of it is quite weak and not really representative of Clapton’s talent. There are other, superior, collections of Claptons work and I would recommend you buy one of those instead.... Read review
