Not heard the CD, but heard most of the tracks. CD 1 will probably work well on the dancefloor, but as always I fail to see the point of listening to 20 loop techno records on my home stereo. They are meant to be blasted on a huge fuck off rig in an empty warehouse.

CD 2 is where things get interesting for me. Here Adam has gone for a more deeper and experimental route, with all the good, experimental techno from his swedish colleagues as well as the infamous 2 Dollar Egg. Varied and different, just like I like my techno at home to be.

Looks like a solid document of what Adam's sets sound like, and that's ultimately what this CD is supposed to be.

I really loved this cd compilation.

CD1 - Really good track selection and very good use of 3 deck mixing! I think Adam Beyer is a genius when it comes to selecting tracks that go together.
Really loved it when he played Dave Clark - Just Ride, very spacey and dreamy, really enjoyed it.
when he mixes:
Hertz - Breaker +
Adam Beyer - Remainings III +
Killa Productions(AKA Ben Sims) - Women Beat Their Men, that was a really nice part of the set, really liked how well they have flowed together, Ive even mixed those 3 on my own sets, works well
Really enjoyed how he ended the cd with Adam Beyer & Lenk feat. Tiga - Heartbreak, I crave that beat and stabby vocals, great tune!
My only gripe with cd1 was that, he inserted a few annoying tunes to the mix, such as Alter Ego - Rocker, the tune isnt too bad, but the grindy noise gets on my nerves after a while


CD2 - This mix is more minimal and spacey. Cirez D - Deep Inside is a great tune, love the synths, sadly the Adam Beyer and Joel Mull Remix is a dissappointment. Also the Mr. Rogers samples in 'John Spring - Dispo Dancer," are awesome.

Overall CD1 is the best becuase of its great track selection and Bangin' relief.

theres my 2cents, its a definetly great collection of good techno
