Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars A great find for a DJ.........2000-12-27

As a DJ, I was happy to find these rare tracks (rare on vinyl at least). I'm not sure what these other people's problem is. Though these tracks have been collaborated together before and played out in the mainstream, they are nearly all classics..

2 out of 5 stars Old Skool.......1999-12-03

These were great tracks when they came out, but what is the point in bringing a compilation out of 2 year old tracks? None of which are obscure remixes. Totally pointless album, unless you've been in outer mongolia for the last 3 years!

1 out of 5 stars Fisher-Price: My First Techno Album.......1999-10-21

What is the point of ever making this CD? I've had most of these songs for at least a year. Columbia, what are you thinking?

4 out of 5 stars Good, as far as intro compilations go.......1999-10-11

Yes, a terribly obvious collection of songs, and I pretty much program out Fatboy Slim (and the awful title track) when I play this CD. But the pacing and selection of the remaining songs are better than most comps, with Lo-Fidelity, Prodigy, Orb, Chem Bros, Crystal Method and Propellerheads all flowing together nicely. I prefer this to the other compilations with which this overlaps heavily, like MTV's Amp2. Nothing earthshattering, but decent and very danceable.

5 out of 5 stars Electronica's Best Compilation.......1999-08-08

I don't know why Amazon.Com gave this album such a negative review. All the songs kick lots of a**, especially the Propellerheads', the most underrated band in existence. Granted, it may not be the best for parties. It might not have the dance-able beats. But, sh**, who cares? And what's wrong with Gap commercials?
