I mean seriously...

"I have to completely disagree with the 1 star review of this album. This album is NOT a 1-2 star. I am very pleased with the wide variety of styles here and the manner in which they are arranged. As mentioned in the "formal" reviews, this collection covers everything from minimalist techno to "I got a man" to Ray Charles, who is always a delight to listen to. Very enjoyable. Not to mention, the Hot Chip song "My Piano" is great. After the first listen I knew this would only get better as I listened to it more. Anyway, I had to chime in on this album and give it some of the justice it deserves.If you like a wide variety of music and appreciate collections that offer an interesting mix of it, you should find this quite enjoyable."

It Got Under My Skin

"I took a chance and picked this up after hearing it at a listening station and being so baffled and intrigued that I had to decipher it for myself. At first, I thought it was just wilfully obscure, but I was determined to crack it because I sensed that there was a heart beating underneath the cool surface. I kept listening to it over and over, trying to take in the wide scope of the thing, and then I couldn't stay away from it. I found myself reaching for it again and again and I grew to absolutely love it. It has a lonely soul inside it that I find very appealing. If this sounds at all interesting to you, I would advise you to take a chance. You might fall in love with it as I have. There's a warmth to it that I find irresistable. Don't resist."
