Customer Rating:
Summary: Good combination of hits of early 2008
Comment: The compilation had a good dozen or so songs which are enjoyable to listen to, but some of the other fillers just took up space which other artists could fill. The remix of break my fall, wait for you, and freefall are my favorites. A good cd but there are other better Ultra Cds out
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great cd for what its intended to do!
Comment: Though i do not own this cd, I am a dj an Im very familiar with all the songs on here. If you are looking for a cd that will satisfy you with what is up to date and hitting in Dance music then I recommend this cd. You have a little bit of everything here from Commercial House remixes of Top 40 songs to some Hard Hitting Club Anthems. This cd is definately worth the $$$, do not go for the download option.

Summary: Lousy sound quality but some decent tracks
Comment: I purchased the Amazon MP3 downloaded version of this CD and the sound quality is pretty bad. It doesn't sound much better than the highly compressed preview samples. Amazon claims 256K MP3 encoding, but I suspect the tracks on this CD have been re-encoded multiple times as they are loaded with compression artifacts. They sound like 64K.
I've heard a few tracks off the original CD and they sound much better than Amazon's MP3 version. The Ultra 2008 MP3 tracks have that tinny, shrill, "under water" sound to them.
I think there are still too many problems with Amazon's MP3 offering. Players report the MP3 encoder as "unknown" and I suspect it's something optimized for speed rather than sound quality.
Sadly, there's no way to know the sound quality of Amazon's MP3 offerings without buying them. And in this case you're forced to buy the entire CD which requires installing Amazon's MP3 Downloader--one more thing to clutter up your PC and potentially cause problems.
Amazon's MP3 offering would be great with higher quality encoding and if you could buy entire CD's without being forced to install their questionable software. As it is now, they have a ways to go before they'll get any more of my money for their MP3s.
The bottom line: Just because it says 256K doesn't mean it sounds good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great mixes
Comment: I like most of the disks from Ultra and this one is no exception. The only track I didn't like was the Public Enemy one. Even though I'm not going to run out and start bying music by Pink, Hilary Duff and Kelly Clarkson, I gotta admit their mixes on this disk are really good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: DONT BUY... unless you like to PARTY!!!!!!
Comment: This CD is good Techno. No ifs ands or buts. This CD will make you nod your head. What more can you ask of dance music.
