First of all, I'm stuck in the 80's and I'm totally into poppy songs sung by cute guys in hats and painted eyebrows, so I must confess George's DJ projects never thrilled me much. HOWEVER I got a pleasant surprise this morning listening to this new mix double album from George. Ahh, it's good!

Even if You are into the whole dance scene or not, this is a recommended buy. It got Boy George value!

The CD comes in a 2CD jewel case with a stickered paper wrap. The 6 page booklet gives You George's own descripton and updates on his new DJ site and radio gigs. CD1 is too much for me personally, but CD2 alone makes this a must-buy! All that is missing here is a couple of Zee tracks to make this the perfect mix album!

There are 38 tracks in all and I'm just going into the ones I really like or the ones related to George. CD1 gives You the track "Auto Erotic" by Dark Globe, not my favourite, but it is co-written by Boy George. You will find Kinky Roland from George's own label More Protein with "This Time Around" and Kinky also written the track "Zing" by "Yo 2 Go!" and remixed Belle Ville's "Theme From Belle Ville". (Both fabulous!)

You will also get Eve Gallagher here with the FAB track "Music Is A Kind Of Lovin'" wich also was co-written by George and there is a Boy George remixed track; "Unbelievable" by EMF.

A real gem is "Lean On Me" co-written by Linda Duggan, talented Culture Club backing vocalist and performed by More Protein artist Colein / SFTG. Other Gems are "Zing" by Colein, "Rise Up" by Sunkids feat. Chance and "Watcha Gonna Do?" by Shauna Soloman.

I got three words for You; BUY BOY NOW! ... .

CD one is progressive, flat out. It jams with some really nice track choices from Meat Katie, Soundbox and others. It starts out a little slow and than picks up tempo intensly.
CD two is funky house. It starts off suprisingly with EMF's Unbelievable and moves into more vocal oriented house tracks. He throws in some Groove Armada and moves into some more Raggaeish track towards the end with Eek-a-Mouse's awesome/bizzare Dope Smugglin' really being a great choice. CD is definetely my favorite but CD will impress more progressive fans.
Boy George is an awesome DJ and I hope he starts to get the respect as a DJ he deserves.

my first boy george album was the essential mix (love it). after that, i've purchased all of his dj complilations. a night in, a night out and of course this album. great track selections, funked in every way. he is the karma-chameleon of this life-time.

Well, as talented he is a singer, Boy George always has something up his sleeve. His choice in songs adds varity to the melting pot. I have read reviews about his mixing ability, but those bad reviews are from bitter people. Envy is so ugly. The first CD is slamming with a web weaved with great mixes. The second CD is chillin' with a wide range from s classic beginning to the reggae style end. I love this CD! Happy Listening.

Hello to all of you wondering about this CD. Boy George is really doing a lot of testing. I wish that he could get some really good producers for a change. I am a BIG FAN and I just feel that he isn't putting forth his best efforts in his work these days. This CD does however have a wonderful remix of "See Thru" which was taken from the last Culture Club album. I think that most of the other songs on this CD are just repititious. Good beats but gets old fast. I do recommend all Boy George fans to purchase this CD but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.

This new 2 - disc cd is totally great. Ilike this one even more better than the Essentials cd that george did this spring . It has a greatier beat and I was very pleased with it . It is worth every penny. I got to see George this sept.in San fransico , doing the Dj thing to support the essentials cd. and was a total trip to finally see my idol after all these years . this cd is not for people how want to hear the old stuff from Culture Club . But it is total treat to see how george has grown and gotten even better shall I say with age. Really clear your mind of all your old ideas of Boy george and just enjoy the ride of this total experince of sound .!!!!!
