I start my review with that comment because if truth be told, when first hearing this Cd,I wanted to be critical.I placed the Cd in the tray, pressed play, and sat back and listened.I was far from impressed.The mixing was slap dash, the selection of tracks was not my taste and the music didn't really head anywhere.I was dissapointed.I however decided I shouldn't make my mind up after one listen and played it a few more times.Without realising the Cd pratically never left my Cd player.The tracks grew on me, the mixing technique began to make sense and the Cd became the soundtrack for my Saturday nights.This Cd is fantastic.I don't know how but each and every track has grown on me to such an extent that I really don't know how I was critical in the first place.A total turn about of opinion.So I would recommend this Cd to anyone if you enjoy late 70's Disco, Funk, Soul.If you have the ability to approach this mix from another time when mixing was about Heart and Soul and not about Mechanics and Technology.
