This is quite possibly the most fun music I have ever heard. The amazing beats mixed with the African American voices on many of their songs are a very very interesting and amazing mix. These guys defined progressive house and this album proves that. The extra CD is an amazing addition containing many unreleased songs and acoustic versions and remixes of some of their hits.
