Mbo Loza - D'Gary

Advantages: fantastically mixed
Disadvantages: wrong track listings

...- Sphinx more of a royksopp sound to this one, highly electronic voices, s 3. Kasso- One more round Back to the very much 80s style, good tune 4. Pino D'angino- Ma Quale idea for me this song doesnt fit with the rest of the album so well, its a good tune just feels slightly out of place 5. Edgar Winter- Above and beyond ( also containing 6.Ray Mang & Nathan D'troit- off side) but actually a seperate tune as far as i can tell, due to more tracks on cd than stated Again for me 2 of the weaker tunes, slightly dull 7. Mr Flagio- take a chance back to the 80s with another top tune, with their own electronic twist. 8. Mike oldfield- Platinum(part three charleston) not much to be said, ok but nothing special 9. Emamanuel splice- meatball beat based tune but very good 10. Jesse g- thats hot back to the disco, nice electro version 11... Read review
