This is something i buy once in a while, and wow, this rare comp. surprised me. You wanna dance ? If you hear these tunes, you r on the dancefloor before you r aware of it. CD2 s a bit harder, but i enjoy them both and they have a good drive and keep you on speed. Recommended when you r doing a boring task ;).
