They say time flies when you're having fun, so it's only natural that 'Cream 15 Years' should feel so fresh you feel like you herd those anthems only yesterday.
If it isn't on the triple CD's of some of the most memorable nights of your life then it really isn't worth looking for. I have been lucky enough to have visited Cream a few times and remember a lot of these classics first hand, couple that with the festivals that have echoed these monsters and you have an anthology of total Cream/ultimate clubbing tunes.
Personal highlights on the first album in the set has to include Bucketheads 'The Bomb', Alex Party 'Alex Party', De'Lacy 'Hide away', and one of the ultimate classic floor fillers Alison Limericks 'Where Love Lives' .
CD2 injects a more subtle pace in to proceedings with Robert Owens 'I'll be Your Friend', Frankie Knuckles 'Your Love', bounds into a pace with Atlantic Ocean's 'Waterfall', O.T Quartet's 'Hold that Sucker Down' and ends with the crescendo of The Prodigy's 'Breath'.
CD3 (Your just showing off now) goes straight for the musical jugular with Olive's 'Your not Alone', Chicane's 'Salt Water' whips up a storm in the guise of Nalin & Kane 'Beach Ball' and Push's 'Universal Nation' finally bringing us back to shore in the familiar manor of Ocean Lab's 'Beautiful Together'.
If you haven't herd of most of these classics, then where have you been the last two decades. Memories galore as 'Cream 15 Years' delivers on the Nail. A must for dance music fans everywhere.
