With 2000 creeping round the corner, it was up to 2 albums to prove worthy of having the night of your life before the clock turned 12:00... Cream Anthems 2000, and The Annual 5 (Millennium Edition)
The digi-book this time has a classy silver finish to it, worthy of everything that 1999 represented, and the booklet is probably the most interesting of the series.
However, while the track listing appears great, some of the mixes (and mixing) sound like rushed decisions. Or drunkenness before the big bash! And just as in The Annual Ibiza 99, it all comes down to Tall Paul.
While Judge Jules does a great job with disc one, providing all the biggest party tunes, Pall seems a little off the mark at times, and has chosen some poor mixes.
Whats more, they've crammed in as many tunes as possible... meaning some songs only come in at 2:30 seconds!
However, this is a party album, and this makes it different to all the other Annuals produced.. it was destined for the Millennium countdown!

When it comes to New Year, this album is a must!
