i've seen a few comps that are really good trackwise, but the new ones seem
to be going in that direction of putting 5+ tracks on a side, which forces
the levels and sound quality to be lower--bleh!!

the "ultimate breaks & beats" series is still quite good, except for the
note
about the tracks being "remixed" (they don't *sound* remixed), any
*accurate*
info on that? the other thing that's kind of annoying about them is that
they don't tell you who the track is by!!
