Amazing Boxset with quality Indie & Alternative music!5
This is it! You really get 6 cd's with top artists from the Indie / Alternative musicscene. There is Interpol, Doves, Bat for Lashes, Placebo, Coldplay, The Magic Numbers, Athlete, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Babyshambles, Badly Drawn Boy and many many more. Also they chose really good songs from all these artists. And there are less known artists with good songs I didn't know.

This is really a great and amazing 6 cd box. It's far better in quality terms then the other Original Hits Boxes (except maybe the 80 12" Box). Don't miss this box with over 7 hours of quality alternative music for a great price!

Brilliant collection and amazing value!5
Thank you to the reviewer who detailed the track listings. It's a quality compilation for a fabulous value price. In fact I can't quite believe the price as there isn't a duff track.

The songs are well grouped together. There's no weak link. In fact there's not even a track I need to skip every time like usually happens with compilations.

Perfect for someone like me who falls in love with songs but not neccessarily want a band's whole album.

The CD case tends to fall apart a bit but I've figured out the trick to that now and it doesn't take anything away from the music. Fab!
