Despite the fact that Tiga personally cherry-picked the 25 tracks present on this particular compilation from the International Deejay Gigolo Records label, in my opinion it takes about seven or eight tracks for the album to come to life. However, from Tiga And Zyntherius' 'Sunglasses At Night' onwards, this cd begins to take the listener on a rollercoaster ride through some storming pieces of electro, particularly when the grimy opening synths of David Carretta's 'Vicious Game' kick in. Personal highlights from this compilation include the aforementioned tracks, plus the relentless 'You Prefer Cocaine' by Vitalic, The Advent's 'In Range' and Miss Kittin & The Hacker's 'Gratin Dauphinois'. It might take a considerable amount of time for this compilation to really get into gear, but ultimately it is well worth the wait.

This cd is definatly the best gigolo mix so far IMO. Very cruisy electro to start off with then builds up into very solid electro tunes - a must have for any electro die hard!

Excellent mix. Tiga starts off with some "easy-going" electro hits before kicking off with the all-aclaimed "Sunglasses at Night", and proceeding with some of the best cult tracks around, in a blood-pumping set.

Strongly recommended, especially for the "Gigolo-style" followers.
