At first, I was a little bit wary of purchasing this album as I am not normally a fan of 'commercial' dance music as I can sometimes find it rather cheesy and become easily bored. I decided to take a chance on this after hearing it advertised on the radio and I am glad that I did. This album is a breathtaking compilation of tracks and remixes of downtempo, house and trance favourites from 1991 to 2008. All three discs are an outstanding example of the dance music scene's ability to inspire and uplift with some truly fresh chillout remixes of classic laidback favourites. Other classic tracks include Chicane's 1996 chart topper 'Offshore' and an amazing acoustic remix of Basement Jaxx' 2001 hit; 'Romeo'. Some of the tracks towards the middle of disc three are a bit stale but this does not ruin the album at all. This album is definately one to buy and listen to over and over again and comes highly recomended.
