Artwork Rating: 8/10 Extremely Good This artwork is very atmospheric. I loved the open landscape designs, and the colour of the red sky is beautifully done. Possibly one of the best original 90's designs. Disc 1 Favourite: M People Sight For Sore Eyes M People had a distinctive sound in the 90s and they had many hits. This isn't my favourite of theirs but I did own their greatest hits on cassette once so I was certainly a fan! Disc 2 Favourite: Bobby Brown Two Can Play That Game Loved this since the day I discovered it many years after its release. Very funky and summery. An absolute 90's gem. Overall Rating: 9/10 Amazing This volume for me marks the start of some really good music for the rest of the 90s, and the quality was really stepped up I feel. Some tremendous anthems within these discs and lots of the music has lived on. Great 90's volume. Andrew's Best 5 (as of February 2017) 1. Bobby Brown Two Can Play That Game 2. N-Trance Set You Free 3. (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy Run Away 4. Nightcrawlers Push The Feeling On 5. Alex Party Don't Give Me Your Life Andrew's Worst 5 (as of February 2017) 1. Nicki French Total Eclipse Of The Heart 2. Mica Paris One 3. Sean Maguire Suddenly 4. Ultimate KAOS Hoochie Booty 5. Simple Minds She's A River This post has been edited by awardinary: 2nd March 2017, 11:37 AM |

So I'm back in the game with these then & I'll be including the results of the sites' Now Rates which go all the way from 30 up to 92!
From a personal viewpoint this is an INCREDIBLE edition. So many dance anthems on that second Disc & one of my all-time favourite songs Oasis - Whatever The artwork is cool, love the red sky & desert theme. Pretty obvious what my Disc 1 fave is but Disc 2 is hard to pick - I'm gonna give it to Alex Party, one of the most feelgood 90s songs of all time. So overall an 8/10 from me, many many songs I revisit. And here are the results of the Now 30 Rate carried out in March 2015 courtesy of gavindeejay: 1. Oasis - Whatever / 9.17 2. N-Trance - Set You Free / 9.11 3. Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On / 8.82 4. Strike - U Sure Do / 8.82 5. Massive Attack - Protection / 8.18 6. Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo! / 8.17 7.
