One song, The Pines "Cold", bears any resemblance to Afterhours 1 and 2. It's a great song. Great. These mixes are good for discovering artists you might not otherwise hear so I'll be checking out The Pines.

Afterhours 3 was ok but that bizarro trippy spookiness that made the first two such standouts was gone. Afterhours 4 was not trippy either but contained a handful of good tracks. This one is just club tunes, upbeat, electro techno all the way.

Don't get me wrong, there are some good songs to be found here (though there is a lot of fodder here as well...). It just lacks the continuity and trippy mood of the first two sets.

After hours? Nah. This is middle of the night club stuff. Unless Afterhours is no longer associated with coming down after a night out but is associated with a banging beat for banging, well, you know...then maybe the title works. If you like that kind of thing, you might like it, but if you're looking for Afterhours 1 and 2, this isn't it.

It was okay for Global Underground to try something different after the first four releases of afterhours. However, it gets a little out there. I felt that listening to the first disc was waiting room music that could be used in the waiting room going good with reading a magazine while waiting for an appointment. In other words, it's boring. The 2nd disc was on and off and the third disc was good. I wouldn't hestitate to leave this item. There could be better.

It is ok, but I bought the wrong set of cd's. This is the extended 4 cd's version for DJ's and I should've buy the 3 cd's mixed version, what I did later (didn't arrived yet, I'll tell you then).
