Once again Cream go out of their way to bring the soul back to dance music. Cream Classics Volume 2 builds on the successful first compilation and brings back some of that fantastic old skool. You get a triple CD Box Set with 50 of Creams favourite dance fillers going right back into the 80's; now that's old skool. There is a truly interesting selection of music here that spans a wide spectrum of dance. It's an historical account of tunes from the last couple of decades that helped to define the genre.You won't find a foul tune on any of the CDs, which are all very listenable. You will, however, find some real gems. Going all the way back, New Order's "Blue Monday" is very nostalgic. Some real turn-of-the-decade, defining-times, tracks are included like Orbital's "Chime" and The Future Sound of London's "Papua New Guinea. There is a definite lean toward funky house on this box-set, which adds some real life to the electronic sounds. Songs like Jamiroquai's "Space Cowboy" and Moby's "Go" are great dance tunes. There are also some genuine classics to be found here. The Sneaker Pimp's "Spin Spin Sugar" and Armand Van Helden's "The Funk Phenomena" stand out in particular.Some careful thought has gone into the track selection and the mixing is smooth and progressive. The songs tend to get better and better and disk three is quite fantastic. This is a must have for any house fan's collection. Defining tunes that sound as good today blasting from the speakers as they did throughout the 90s. --Jarrod Rendle
