Those who rated 5/5 this compilation either dont own any other LPs or their sound system needs checkup. Dimitri on a moment lacking inspiration. The global feeling on the compilation is the most monotone Dimitri has compiled so far. Its a little bit of everything, but the result is nothing. Compare it with the most flat disco songs of T.K. 12" and put them together. And if this wasnt enough, the recording quality of the LPs is very very poor (tested on top sound systems as usual)-quite surprising from BBE to do this.
