I have Morcheeba's BTM, Groove Armada's and Danny Tenaglia's.
I really love this series. But this title is disappointing.
After being EBTG fun for a lot of years and waiting for there new titles impatiently, I probably was just waiting for something supreme, and this is simply not it...
Not a single inspiring track. There are some good moments in the CD but not moments you get addicted to.
Maybe I was just not in the right mood?... )-:

This is a very good, well-composed album of down-tempo, hip-hop, and urban lounge grooves, but Tracey Thorn lovers note: this is a collection of songs she loves, not an album of her music. In my enthusiasm for Thorn's music, I bought this music thinking I would hear her latest work, and was disappointed to find that her tunes were nowhere to be found on this album. My disappointment was mitigated by the fact that this album is good stuff - very chill, smooth, and well worth the purchase price.

As a long-time (c. 1989) fan of EBTG, I was willing to follow them down the road to re-invention when "Missing" launched their House phase. Picking up this CD was an introduction to some of the source and inspiration for Ben's mixing and the duo's continued success. Not one to leave his fingers out of anything, even a compilation of source material, Ben includes Beth Orton's "Stars All Seem To Weep", which he produced for her "Central Reservation" release. Ya gotta admire the musical genius (and apparent business sense) of Watt and Thorn both, considering the breadth, depth and span of genres they've worked in since their solo recording days.
There's a lot to like on this CD -- pop it in, kick back and let it wash over you. Some good dance jams, but I think it's best suited to sitting in. On a few tracks, especially "A Wonderful Life" you can hear the future of EBTG. Good liner notes, too. A key add to the collection for any EBTG fan -- not an essential, but an understanding of roots and direction. It's a bonus that it may introduce you to some fine new artists as well.
