Someone behind this release knew what they were doing (for a change). While I was crossing my fingers, my expectations was for a collection of short edits of Jankel's biggest dance and electronica tracks, many of which have never been on CD before. What I'd hoped for, and got, was many full length LP versions and 12" single versions with excellent sound quality. The only real let down for me is the 4:45 length of 3,000,000 Synths (as compared to the 6:30 LP version), and the absence of the #8 Billboard dance hit "109". Tracks and times:

1. to woo lady kong (6:09)
2. glad to know you (6:33)
3. you're my occupation (6:54)
4. 3,000,000 Synths (4:45)
5. number one (7:17)
6. feel alone (6:11)
7. reve de chevres (2:58)
8. ai no corrida (8:35)
9. get myself together (4:37)
10. oh pretty young thing (5:21)
11. without you (5:17)
12. am i honest with myself really (8:27)
13. call me (bonus dub) (4:06)

I was a big Chaz fan in the 80's. Glad to Know You is still one of my favorites. I was looking for more of his songs when I stumbled across this CD on amazon. Amazingly, the whole CD is great. It is so rare to find a CD where every song is really good and is not full of klunkers or fillers. The Too Wong Foo version of Glad to know you kicks as does Am I Honest With Myself. It's just an overall fantastic CD that is not overly dated or 80's but catchy tunes and great for parties. I's love to find more from Chaz.
