Some abrupt mixes, others 8 bars at most. Pretty much every tune in the mixes edited/shortened.
What about the mixing into Elysium (I Go Crazy)...how did they pull that off?

Why is disc 3 even there if this is supposed to be old skool?

They had to do something to attract the 2010s generation.

Just popped by again to repeat how awful this is.
So angry at myself for giving in and buying it!

Just listened to CD 1 & 2...This is not mixed, it's edited. And some of the songs are shortened to the point of "what's the point?"

Got mine (for free or I would be angry!)
Mixing is lazy or non-existent for the most part.
Reasonable tune selection, not a typical artist mix with a few token tracks from other artists is a bonus I suppose.
For free it's passable but not worth a tenner, would much rather listen to my Bonkers collection which I have painstakingly digitised for easy access! At least some effort went into those CDs!

Disk 1 looks alright, but i've heard endless mixes of those same tracks.
Disk 2 is wobbly, but Disk 3 isn't remotely old skool happy.
I just wonder why the massive amount of tunes from 1994-97 that were off the charts good never seem to get put on these mixes.

Or why the Happy Rave/Pengo Records tracks never get picked :/

I reckon that may just be down to licensing nonsense.

So I listened to CD 3. I'm sure it doesn't, but it sounds like the tempo slows down between certain songs to keep the tracks in their original tempos. I dunno, I know I have to be wrong, but it just sounds like it.
All in all, I applaud MOS for dipping back into the 90s to showcase some tracks from yesteryear in today's market. Hixxy & Dougal....I don't know why they edited the CD as they did, but I'm sure I speak for many on saying we were hoping for that Bonkers-era mixing.

I wasn't, i'm still hoping that someone produces a compilation remixed by a DJ who's a bit nuts, and digs into all those hard, fast, bouncy happy tracks that have sat dormant for years, and they obviously remaster them first then get a fast hard mix ala Brisk.
With so many back catalogues getting remastered and released, I am hopeful of a revival of sorts of all those Dwarf, Babyboom style tracks getting played out again, and maybe even bring new blood to the table and remixes galore. I nag Davie Forbes a lot about remastering and releasing his catalogue, that man did some awesome tracks back in the day.

It does.
For some ridiculous reason they only had the slower versions of I go crazy (refuse to call it Elysium) and Heartbeats.
Adding insult to injury.

This is very true, quite a few labels about that had awesome tracks on them back in the day, that are completely ignored , same from European labels, even if you can't get hold of the label owner anymore, someone would know.
