I was about to write off New Beat as dumb, mindless dance music before I acquired this CD. Much better than the "Sounds of New Beat" compilation; the song choice on this compilation is far superior. Highlights include a remixed version of A Split Second's "Flesh" spiced up with extra beats, Amnesia's "Ibiza", Public Relation's self titled song, and In-D's "Virgin In D-Sky". I own several New Beat compilations, and this one blows them all away. This CD is the perfect introduction to the musical genre known as "New Beat". .........now, if only Antler Subway Records would re-release the Electronic Body Music compilations....
