Holy Grail of Deep House, but the SONG ORDER IS WRONG

"Is it just me, or was there all of a sudden this explosion of bargrooves or bargrooves-esque compilations available? With so many to weed through, it's a rarity to stumble upon something sooooo sweet as this set. I happen to completely disagree with my fellow reviewer, and feel that disc 2 is without a doubt the ALPHA house mix. Disc 1 is fine, it's just that a lot of it has been done before. I feel that Vincent Kwok really pushes the grooves across the globe, spanning several genres and even decades (the 80's funk heavy Joey Negro's 'Begun 2 Luv U' to the more current 'Attend 1'). Buy it, you WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!! In fact, you will thank me time and again for the recommendation.
BUT, when you start listening to it on your IPODs, or MP3s, or whatever, and notice that the song names DON'T match up for disc 2, don't be alarmed. SERIOUSLY, they got it wrong! Tracks 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all right, but then track 5 (even on AMAZON) is NOT "Stranger," but 'Just because,' with is listed as track 12. So from here, you have to do a little shifting. Track 6 is actually "Stranger," and then so on. So when you're on "Touch Me," (which ROCKS, by the way), and are expecting one more song... don't, it's over. ;-) Just thought I would help out others, since I was totally confused for so long about this. Think I should send this to ben and the gang at kinkysweet. Still, don't let this stop you from owning this true gem!!"
