I just purchased this 3 disc set last weekend and I have been playing it non-stop in my car. My only past experience with the Om label was with Ming + FS, PUTS, and J-Boogie because I usually tried to avoid their cheese ball vocal house releases. The first disc is pretty hit or miss for me because, again I just can't get into the really pop/straight forward vocal house...but there were a few surprise tracks on that disc that I liked. Really just the Fred Everything track and the one from King Kooba. Although the ones from Uneaq and Afro-mystik are growing on me. Disc 2 is all down tempo, even a little experimental in places, and aside from the queso track from Kaskade...everything on that disc is ill. Now disc 3 (the classiscs) is not quite as dope as disc two, but very close...and J.Boogie's 'Golden Nectar' sounds like it could have been released on Ninja Tune. Even some of the house tracks on disc 3 are pushing some creative boundries. No doubt, since I am not the typical Om fan, I probably do not enjoy this compilation as much as some will, but I was seriously impressed by it.

I purchased this collection because it had two songs I liked on it. As is always the problem with CDs, you get a lot of what you don't want, and this collection has many songs on it that are quite different from each other. Some vocals, some instrumentals, some with heavy beats, some more ambient, etc. Perfectly suitable for background music, except for the occasional danceable tune.

I love this CD set. It is great. I listen to it all the time. It really does make me want to get up and move. Great for working out. I am buying all the Oms!

This is one of the finest lounge compilations that I have ever heard, If you like lounge-funk-jazzy grooves you really should order it.
