When you pick this up you'll experience a re-run of your favourite smiley face memories...unfortunately thats as good as it gets!! Don't get me wrong there are some very good tunes on the two CD's however some of the versions selected for this complilation weren't the best, an example being the Radio Edit of Dirty Cash by Stevie V which was the second version to be released not the original. I was also left wondering how on earth some of the tunes had managed to feature on a supposedly "old skool" complilation, an example being the first half of CD 2. It features such rave classics as C&C Music Factories "Everybody Dance Now" and Beats International "Dub Be Good To Me"!? If your looking for an underground complilation from 88-93 then this is a more of a Womble complilation...Underground, overground affair! C'mon... I know its makes financial sense to cater to a wider audience but not at the expense of your grass roots market.

Such a laugh 1 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I put this on at a recent house party and within seconds there was loads of us 20-somethings laughing and dancing arond like idiots. Great fun.

Yes it's 95% chart music, but that's the point isn't it? - the MOS label is about as far away from underground as you can get.

This CD is more than just a compilation of old tunes. It takes you back to your days when you would be prancing around (like a nut case) in some field with big smiley faces all over your clothes. This CD includes all the back in the day tunes such as Prodigy's Charley, Moby - Go and N Trance - Set you free. This is a superb CD and I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who went clubbing from 1988 - 1993. The only thing that keeps me from giving a full five stars is that is not mixed. Big shame really but still brilliant nevertheless.

This CD will take you back to the early 90s. However it does not really represent the energy nor the quality dance music which came out in those days. Read more
