    It's quite good, not as good as Get Lost or 69 though I've only given it a few listens. Seems like it'll grow on me.

    Okay, the first disk of this two-CD release is pretty meh - middling prog-trance, that overly relies on the genre's cliches. A couple of songs are pretty good, but for the most part, we've heard everything on this CD done before and a lot better from the likes of Paul Oakenfold (who's not that great himself, IMO) & Hybrid (who set a pretty high standard, to the detriment of artists such as these), among others.

    As for the second CD (all remixes), I haven't listened to it yet, and I'm not in any particular hurry to, either.



    This CD, on the other-hand, was love at first listen. I listened to it three-times through on the first try. This album will definitely be added to my "Best Albums of 2007 That I Bought In 2008" list.

    I can't get the refrain "Chemicals! Chemicals Chemica-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hals!" outa my head. And furthermore, I don't want to.

    Only $12.00, which I consider to be somewhat cheap for a CD. I actually bought it for track 9, Jigsaw Falling Into Place. I saw the video for it on VH1 a couple of times and loved it.

    I am pretty happy about the Things Fall Apart cover, a woman brought in a used copy with that cover, I think I remember reading that it is the most rare of the covers.
