Advantages: Fantastic anthology of their best work
Disadvantages: None; I just can't get enough of them!

Ahoy there Lamb lovers; this is what you've been waiting for! And also people new to Lamb, this is an excellent opportunity of sample the delights of Lamb. This rather wonderful album is a fine collection of Lamb's greatest works spanning over eight years, from their self titled debut album to their most recent album 'Between Darkness and Wonder'. All their most elcectic, thought provoking and gut-wrenchingly beautiful songs all in one place, plus ...
...sound, and with personal commentary by Lou (Rhodes) and Andy (Barlow)! It's like a dream come true! The CD opens with 'Cottonwool' from their debut album. It really sets the atmosphere with it's beautiful lyrics and mysterious sounding backing track. Every time I hear this song, I find that if I listen harder, there are so many layers and textures to this track. The album continues with 'Gold' and the enchantingly timeless 'Gorecki' (As covered ... Read review

Advantages: Great mixes, full length
Disadvantages: none

I have actually got Spiller "Groovejet (If This ain't Love)" single on vinyl. I bought it from HMV, in 2006 for about £3 brand new. It has two tracks on it; "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)-Extended Vocal Mix" with Sophie Ellis-Bextor 07:27 and "Groovejet-Solar Stone's Jet Groove Dub Mix". 05:55 It is essentially a DJ's copy but I play it myself. Two great mixes of this cult classic on Positiva recordings. It came out in 2000 and can still be ... Read review

Advantages: Great mixes, chilled, value for money
Disadvantages: Two weak tracks, nothing major.

This 2CD compilation by Jay Burnett is very, very good. CD1 is relatively poor compared to CD2, which is amazing. Alternative mixes of Dido, Spiller "Cry Baby", Motorcycle "When the rush comes". David Bowie vs Scumfrog appears with an excellent "Loving The Alien". "Janeiro" by Solid Sessions is so, so chilled and takes my mind to another dimension. Maybe there is two weak tracks on the album being Moony "Dove" and Kylie Minogue "Love At First ... Read review

Advantages: Chilled, collectable, cracking
Disadvantages: None, but increasingly hard to find.

In a nutshell, this is probably the greatest Euphoria of all time. From beginning to end, it is absolutely flawless! CD 2 perhaps having the edge over CD 1. I bought this for £7.5 of amazon second-hand. The sleeve however is not very secure so make sure you make copies of this if you by it. Not manufactured anymore this can be a cracking buy if under £10. "Seven Days and One Week" by BBE being so chilled. Also "Autumn Leaves" (English Version) ... Read review

Advantages: Classic euphoria beats, alternative mixing.
Disadvantages: Hard to come by now

John 'OO' Fleming is a well-known DJ. This album is one of the early Euphoria's. I believe it is quite rare especially now. Anyway, I bought my 2CD set in 2007 for £4.50 of Amazon second-hand. I'm not sure they manufacture these any more, so getting this would be a challenge. I see there are ones for sale for crazy amounts of money! The album is smooth and relaxed with a fast pace to it most of the way through. "Legato 2002" by Digital Blonde is ... Read review
