Just get it, and ask questions later. :) Almost every track is a classic, from the soft to the hard. Most of the tracks, I'd say, are medium hard - beaty, but not overly-aggressive. The hardest tracks come from Future/Past, but are very innovative in their solidity. ;) Worth it for the three Balil tracks *alone*. - Matthew "I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you can't imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that you'd never expect to hear - that's techno. If you hear something that kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno." - Jeff Mills
