Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great Collection of new and old alt. downtempo.......2007-03-16

36 alt-rock/dance classics here, all under 100bpm (just).

Some beautiful old time stuff like Nick Cave's 'Into Your Arms', The Verve's 'Sonnet' and 'Teardrop' from Massive Attack, mixed in with the out and out brilliance of Radiohead's 'Fake Plastic Trees' and the contemporary fun of groovy little mover 'Comin Back' from dance darlings, Bent. Love songs one and all? On 1st glance, perhaps not immediately and definitively recognisable, but they all sit very comfortably alongside each other, well balanced over the 2 discs.

Quite a few lovely Oz ballads and downtempo numbers included as well from Missy Higgins ('Ten Days') and the Sleepy Jackson ('Rain Falls For Wind') to name but two. I believe this is an exclusive Oz only release, which would account for those being there.
