Moran's strongest mix-a vocal lover's dream with some exclus

"Disc 1 is a peak hour vocal anthem lover's dream. The CRUCIAL REASON TO GET THIS DISC is for the near full-length version of Deborah Cox's "Easy as Life" which was previously only available as a download on the Disney site. The second most crucial reason...the near 9 minute version of the rare Tony Moran/Warren Rigg mix of Kristine W! The Deep Influence mix of "dance with me" is one of the best full vocal mixes I've heard in a while that includes the verses. Disc 1 is non-stop powerhouse, and even the "filler" like "tribal funk", "kerosene" and "give me love" aren't bad. I still would have passed on them to get longer versions of some of the stronger tracks though. A few of the tracks are a little on the short side. Disc 2 is vocal heaven from tracks 1-5. The tony moran mix of "touch it" is amazing, but this exclusive mix only gets 4 minutes of airtime!!! track 6 is boring filler, Track 7, "horn drivers", is an okay instrumental, but runs a bit long, track 8 is a really odd Latin flavored track with manipulated vocals. The friburn & urik billboard dance chart topper "show it", hard to find on CD, is here, but it's only about 5 minutes long. Again, could have lost some of the instrumental filler and given us longer versions of the hard to get stuff, although, in my opinion "Show it" IS filler. BORING. But the disc ends brilliantly with 8 minutes of the hard to get Chad Jack mix of Vernessa Mitchell. I have all of Tony Moran's mix CDs, and I can definitely say that here, he manages to make TWO CDs-worth of mix that is better than any single disc he's ever released. Track times:
