Advantages: Jam packed, well presented, great inclusions. Disadvantages: 1 or 2 naff tracks but you can't please everyone!
Now I was quite surprised to get this in my stocking for Christmas, obviously somneone had been doing their homework. I've got pretty eclectic tastes, ranging from indie, 80's, and rock, to dance and trance, so it was quite a nice surprise as I'd had my eye on this for a while.
Released in mid-October 2005, the Ultimate Experience boasts a jam-packed tracklist of some stonking tunes, as well as some which are yet to reach the UK Charts.
Featuring some key names in current dance music, their are some really cool inclusions on both discs. I tend to find that on releases such as this, the 2nd CD is usually packed full of obscure trance remixes from the likes that no-one has ever heard of, but this has been tastefully presented.
Disc 1:

We are treated to a bonus track which was previously unreleased called Today I've lost you. The boys originally wrote this song as the follow-up to Back for Good in 1995 but it never got released. They finally recorded it in 2005 and this is the version we have on the CD.
The CD comes in a cardboard sleve which gives it that little bit more extra ...
