"A lot of the stuff here is remixed from the usuals that you can get from their excellent first album Bloom and the Official release album. Unfortunately it isn't all that great comparatively. It is more listening music and yet it is not.. particularly because none of it really stands out as a song that you'd want to keep playing over and over.



I'd personally skip it and get Bloom instead, and also their debut release album, but not Toolroom nights. Unless, of course, you are a DJ scoping out their mixes, sounds, and beats in particular. I myself am just an avid listener.





When DJs are throwing out all that they have because people want more and more, you get albums just like this from Oakenfold, Tiesto, and Armin. Just a bunch of tunes that shouldn't be thrown away (SOMEONE! may like them), but the someone's out there that do probably have a lot of other CDs that are at the bottoms of their stacks like this one will end up.



I guess I should just say it is merely filler music to pass the time for the next real album."
