Being a fan of house music especially electro house I was very pleased with the quality and song choice on the three disks.
There are many highlights such as 'Drop It' by the Audio Bullys that has not been released commercially as a single. This is up to their usual high quality of songs with deep bass lines and sheer confusion of what beats to add. Classic Bullys. Other greats like the Trophy Twins remix of 'When The Lights Go Down' by Armand Van Helden has a constant but fantastic beat. A perfect example for anyone of what to expect of this album
The mixing is also fantastic. Not too long and not too short, a perfect length of time. It is also nice to see that often the Dj simply stops one track then starts the next. This is done effectively and if buy the album see will see what I mean.
It is refreshing to see a compilation out that has not been released by either the 'Ministry of Sound' or 'Hed Kandi’. Two labels that endlessly bring out new compilations, some of which have limited quality. But this one done by ‘Resist’ provides tunes that are not always commercially released or played too much on the radio, complaints that often hit the 'Ministry of Sound'.
To summerise, this compilation provides 3 disks each with 15 tracks that average the 5 minute mark each. It has some well known artist like Tiga, Audio Bullys, Mylo and Tocadisco. But it also uses relatively unheard of artists like Phatjak and Nicolas Valle who both offer great electro beats. This is a must for any clubber or electro house fan. And with 45 songs it is definitely value for money.

Well Dave,
Thanks for the comment you made on my first couple of reviews to CIAO. I can see what you mean, from reading yours, that mine need to be somewhat longer. Anyway, having read yours I think it puts over "excellently" in regard to the house music you are fond of. Not my particular taste, Im more into Country. But its the review we are talking about in this comment and not the product reviewed. So thanks for your comments and I will endeavour to try to make any future reviews I do much longer and in depth All the Best Terry (AkA CAPTAINSTARDUST)
