Advantages: Amazing songs, great packaging Disadvantages: NONE
You might have seen this CD before and been miffed at the measly 17 tracks on offer, especially compared to the 50 track box sets that Trojan offer for less money, and so left it on the shelf.

How did I first become aware of this CD?
I love my bassline music and I brought the Sound Of Bassline Vol 1. which I thought was really good so when I heard the Sound Of Bassline Vol 2. was available to buy I didn't hesitate to buy it. The first time I listened to it I instantly enjoyed it and couldn't wait to hear the next song.

Would I recommend this to other people?
