Good toe tapping music Toe tapping good beat. Dance hall beat music together with Frankie sounds. Enjoyable. I just wished Frankie wrote more songs other then just three to four he wrote which all his CD's play.
As far as Dance mixes go...
The Frankie songs turn out to be very mixeable and are transformed to the dancefloors of today. Frankie in the mix, well not an interely new thing is it? These are trance mixes done by Rob Searle and lots of college's, like Paralyzer. That proves that FGTH songs do have a lot of spirit in them ! Credits goes to the DJ's who have done a good job. Caution if you want mixes like Trevor Horn did in the 80's this is not for you. If you are open minded towards EuroHouse than this double cd is the thing to get. Conclusion: A nice blend between Frankie and EuroHouse.

Great
I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide array of mix types (from quiet to loud, from instrumental to vocal). I bought this 2CD set in a record store and was reluctant -- new mixes can sometimes do injustice to the original mixes. I especially like th Paralyzer mixes. Long story short: I haven't stopped playing in my car for two weeks straight! If you like(d) Frankie, I highly recommned this new collection. I also recommend buying the 2CD set called "Twelve Inches" (or "Welcome to the Twelve Inches" or "12 Inch Archive"); that collection has the original remixes and a few rare oddities.
Rehashed, remodelled, reVamped!
The entire compilation has not one dull moment. If you have even the slightest memory of the eighties music scene (remember the one that became old as fast as it was called "new?") then you will definitely enjoy this "housified" version of FGTH's golden tracks. It is truly entertaining, and ingeniously put together in delicious new flavors, but without losing the FGTH soul, wit, and candor. This is a definitely great buy, and you surely won't regret this blast from the days of camp and high glam. If, however, you prefer the way the songs were originally intended to be heard, back in the days of what may be fondly called the old wave, then get the "Reload: The Whole 12 Inches" album instead.
