Tosh in Tokyo here,

it's mostly New remix, some may not new.
There are 2 best-of CDs, white paper Jacket, and black normal jewel box one.
Black one is new, released with the new album has one truck different from
white one.
I think they have stop pressing the white one.
Highly recommended. You get to hear Japanese creator's work(Kyoto Jazz
Massive, Nobukazu Takemura, Dazzle-T, KARAFUTO a.k.a. Fumiya Tanaka) as well
as world famous DJs(King Britt, a Forest Might Black, etc...)

"Premiumix"(Remixes of Double Image) has wicked remix of You Make Me by
Shinichi Osawa of Mondo Grosso (Shin's Shin mix) with beautiful strings.
I like it much better than the original.
I don't believe the Basement Jaxx truck was D'n'B,
although I can't check it because my turntable is broken.(bummer)
Incognito's Bluey's D'n'B mixes are good, too.
Musta have it!
Also, I recommend Monday's Best album (Look into the past)
Fading Beauty(chillin' winter mix), Sunshine after the Rain, Scat Attack(Why
not?mix by UFO) and other good trucks are all there.
The best album, Mermaid and Double Image was re-issued a couple month ago in
Japan.

Also, Monday's New single "Play it by ear" is out now in Japan. Heavy
rotation on a Tokyo radio station. Her album is comin' on Sep.22 here. Have
heard it's a Latin/Brasillian album!

Peace,

Tosh

P.S. I like your "worthless reviews"! Very infomational. Keep it up!
