Nice collection of early 1990's dance cuts; nothing
rare, but all solid club/radio hits. I found it
useful in part because it has the single version
of Moodswings' "Spiritual High" (State of
Independence). Trying to extract that track from
Moodswings' own CD proved problematic since it is
blended into the songs before and after it on the
disc. Here's the track list, with performers
(WHY does the available database for this site list
composers, rather than performers, for many CD's?)

1) SNAP Rhythm Is a Dancer (5:12)
2) ANNIE LENNOX Walking on Broken Glass (6:09)
3) HADDAWAY What Is Love (5:30)
4) S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. Gonna Be a Lovely Day (4:16)
5) SNAP The Power (3:39)
6) TLC Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg (6:22)
7) THE MOVEMENT Jump! (4:59)
8). L.A. STYLE. James Brown Is Dead (5:51)
9) THE KLF 3 A.M. Eternal (Live at the SSL) (3:36)
10) DR. ALBAN It's My Life (4:22)
11) MOODSWINGS Spiritual High (4:27)

A good dance compilation, though getting dated

"Got this CD because I wanted the 'James Brown is Dead' cut on CD, and you can't find L.A Style's CD new anymore. (though highly recommended) What I got was a pretty good comp of highly danceable tunes from the early to mid 90's. This isn't cutting edge stuff, but it IS stuff you still hear, and which will definitely sound familiar and get you moving.'Rhythm is a Dancer' is probably the most widely heard track on the CD, followed by 'James Brown Is Dead' which is a classic. Some of the others are more obscure though, and I suspect Arista started grasping for straws to fill the entire CD up.Recommended if you want just one CD of dance music that you can pop in the player when you need some high energy. If you have a heartbeat, this is pretty much guaranteed to get you out of your chair."
