Happy days!!!!5
The sun coming up, Ratpack on stage, the feelgood factor in the crowd, this album brings it all back..ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for all us ravers that were there at the beginning!!!!

CAN YOU FEEL IT!5
I very rarely give an album 5 stars but in this case it would be a crime not to, simply because of the brilliance of the first CD.

Ratpack throw out all your bangin old skool favorites. From the sing along anthem 'searchin for my rizla' to my favorites 'Bouncer' and 'Don't Go'. The mixing is as awesome, as is expected from Mixmaster Mark, seamlessly throwing together a storming selection of tunes. The drops are astounding and bring back many a rave memory as Ratpack keep you shouting for more. As always Evansen Allen MCs over the top, but unlike many DnB MCs he opts for a more subtle approach without drowning out the music.

I love every second of this CD, every tune is a winner. Put this on at a party and you'll have any raver up and 'avin it large. I cannot find fault with this mix, IF YOU LIKE OLD SKOOL BUY THIS!

The second CD, mixed by the one and only Nicky Blackmarket, is slightly disappointing after the first CD. Although there are many quality, well known tunes (Renegade, Renegade Snares, Champion Sound, Lighter, Valley of the Shadows, Original Nuttah) I personally prefer the newer, more raucous DnB tunes played by the likes of Andy C. With that said this is still a good soundtrack to chill out to if you enjoy the more melow sounds of jungle, and thank god there is no MC ruining the tunes!

We'll take you back, right back!5
Oi Oi! I was standing in the corner... You know the tune, it's got them all, this CD takes you back to the raves of the early nineties when the Ratpack were the best on the scene. It still gives you that feel good buzz, I remember 'cos I was there! Blackmarket cuts it up on CD2 with some old style jungle which is pretty good too...
