while the lp's are good, Reece's less than TPower's and the Good Looking comp, (and although i don't have it yet) this comp seemed to contain enough rarities to warrant purchase...there was the PFM remix of JMJ & Richie as well as Bukem's remix of that Jodeci track...amongst others...i'd buy them all :) mikebee

OK, now that Mikebee has clarified which comp is under discussion, I can chime in (all these similarly titled comps tend to blend together after a while). '100% Drum & Bass' looks like an excellent, wholly recommendable introduction to the style. I'd have bought it on sight if I didn't already have most of the tracks on it (and almost did buy it anyway, for the rarities Mike mentioned). You may want to get T Power's album as well, though, since neither of his tracks on the comp are on the album (barring Japanese 2CD sets). C. -- cspot@hyperreal.com (Chris.Hilker)
