This was a decent introduction to dance music back in the day. Whether that's the case now is debatable.

Park's mix is certainly not at his best and is on the wrongside of Handbag (For excellent Park compilations try Up Yer Ronson Vol 1 and Fantazia House Collection Vol. 1).

His remix of Loni Clark is pretty good but his take on Maria Rowe - Sexual sounds very similar to many other remixes he did back in the day. On the whole, his 6 track mix leaves a lot to be desired.

Tong's mix is commercially minded, cheesy but isn't actually that bad. Oakenfold's mix is trancey and as a result not something I enjoy. Furthermore, it is rather haphazardly mixed which is something we come to expect from him.

Justin Robertson's mix is the bravest but the only track I really like is Voodoo Ray. I note that there is a DJ Pierre production (The Original Creators) in the mix but this was certainly not Pierre's best.

Overall this mix is passable. Nevertheless, as one can imagine, it hasn't stood the test of time well at all.

When Liverpool superclub Cream added their first contribution to the deluge of big-name-club-plus-big-name-DJ mix CDs, the idea was starting to lose its sheen. In itself, I suppose, there's nothing THAT special. Graeme Park spins some commercial vocal house, which are good sweet-toothed fun; Tong concentrates on...everything popular at the time, as Tong always did, with a bit of euro-trance and very mainstream house; Oakey finds himself on the cusp of trance proper, with some great and important tracks from Sven Väth and Jam & Spoon; and Justin Robertson is a total square peg, with some fantastically skewiff acid and tribal stuff.

That said, it's very close to my heart - as an impressionable nine year-old, it was Tong's mix on this that turned me into a dance evangelist. While many will bite their fists at the cheese-tastic keys on Escrima's "Train of Thought", I just get a huge grin on my face and start bouncing around the room.

Top stuff.

Sort of.
