    Great music and compilation. Not giving it 5 stars though as there's something slightly flat and I can't coax as much excitement out of it as I think I ought to. Probably the original source material.

      Great compilation for a DJ that needs to plug some holes in the collection, but not a great home player, as most of the tracks here sound very similar. But I think this LP was conceived strictly with the DJ in mind. All are probably nice tracks to drop on a dancefloor, but nothing here is going to blow your mind. Sound quality is excellent.

      BPMs Side A:

      80/160

      Side B:

            This album is so good! Super funky stuff. Lots of instrumentals. Just a really solid, fun listen the whole way through.

            Big fan of the second volume in the series, too. Second one has more vocals.

              This is a fantastic record in both track selection and pressing quality. Nuff said.

                This record is absolutely essential. The pressing is flawless. Vibrant, rich, and detailed. The soundstage is wide and the clarity is stunning. Just buy it!

                      Ten tracks of , top drawer Japanese funk, which are just so luxuriously decadent, that you may be tempted to sneakily spoon an extra dollopful of cream onto your dessert strawberries as a special treat!!
