This is a handy collection of old skool electro and hiphop with a good set of classic tracks from throughout the 80's, although personally I'd have chosen the full vocal version of Young's 'Know How' over the instrumental. Less forgivable is the inclusion of eleven unfamiliar (and uneventful) tracks that are all copyrighted 1998 and licensed from Decadance - to themselves?! I guess the makers figured that a three-disc compilation looks more impressive and that new tracks are cheaper/easier to license but they really should've ditched the padding and made this a 2CD release. ...In fact, doing the maths, they could've fitted all thirty tracks onto two CD's anyway!
