With SO many different artists putting their spin on the music it's certainly an extreme variety. If you're expecting a certain line of sound or you're chained to what you believe DM "should" sound like, this may not be what you're looking for. I gave the set a 4 for the obvious free rein to explore remix possibilities that you will either love or, maybe, hate. It will come down to personal taste in the end. Although I found some tracks that really rocked, I found myself disappointed with some tracks that just seemed to drag on sometimes just like listening to repetetive noise or somthing that might put you to sleep. HOWEVER with that being said there are some very pleasant goodies. In Your Room has an unlikely heavy base beat that was very surprising and will rock your stereo system. Personal Jesus, Rush, Master and Servant, Never Let Me Down Again, I Feel Loved just some of the high lights. Not what DM fans are always used to but certainly worth a listen to find out for yourself.
