I have the cd version, and I can only say : buy it.

I was a little surprised by what dave clarke labels 'electro' (I've never
heard electro boogie 1) It's a real 'retro' sound. You know those old
chiptunes on commodore 64. It really reminded me of the early ages of
techno/house/whatever music.
I've only listened to it a few times, but it's music which gets better
every time you hear it, it really grows on you.
The only bad remark is that most tracks are only about 3 minutes, I
would've prefered less songs, but longer versions.

But anyway, there's not much chance to get this type of music these days
(I think, I'm not really some one who goes to the music shop every
two/three days to check and listen to the new releases). So if you like
that 'old' sound, you should definitelly get this one.

If you want the full playlist, I can give you the one for the cd. Or you
can check out k7's webpages (www.k7studio.de I think)
