"Mystery of Love" is listed as Instrumental, but it's not the Instrumental Mix from the 1986 release on DJ International; rather it's the Dub Version from the 1985 release on Alleviated.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by zeebianco Jul 02, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Absolutely essential box set with lavish packaging and booklet. Also the pressing is very loud and clear which makes listening a real pleasure. Such a shame that Nuphonic folded before they got a chance to do a "Paradise Garage" or "Music Box" boxset. Loft 2 is also essential. As for the music itself - a mixture of genres - house, disco, dub, soul which goes to show that the best music transcends its genre (something that producers of "club" music should note). The famous quote "there are only two types of music - good and bad" applies here. This is all good!
