Upon hitting play on this SM-Trax's Greatest Hits "Feel the Music" seems to drop unsuspectingly, coming in with alot of energy off a "Space Odyssey" sounding intro. The CD includes the jumpin' anthem "Got the groove" bringing back memories of hyper club nights passed, to people familiar with the afterhours scene. "At the club" is a longtime favorite of many dance fans, although I noticed this a more chilled out and slower version than I remember. "Show Me Something Special" is really great rollinhg out a variety of dance melodies throughout the track while the seductive voice comes in and out - definitely refreshing.

"...Is Calling" instantly brought back memories of the unforgettable Mario Piu track "Communication" which chanted "somebody answer the phone". The song similarities are funny to me especially with the titles being related. "Angel's Watching, Devil's Waiting" is a chilled track, great for catching your breath, drinking some water, and enjoying the 'flip flop' vocals going from a lovely sounding female speaking of angels watching, to a grim male voice speaking of the devil waiting. "...3, 2, 1, 0: Ignition!" brings the pace back up with awesome buildups throughout the track.

Something to note at this point on the CD as your groovin' to this album, track 9, labeled as 'Climb On Top' is actually inverted to the end of the disc as track number 13. So track 9 is actually what is noted on the cd as 10, 10 is really 11, and so on until 'Climb On Top' actually appears as track 13. The last few tracks on the cd feature club remixes of 'At the Club' and 'Feel the music'. The cd also include as a great bonus three videos - "Climb On Top," "At The Club," and "Show Me Something Special." All three videos are in quicktime format for the PC. All the videos are cool with one having a noteworthy touch of "The Village People" (like the video for Circ "Destroy She Said"). All the videos are much better seen for yourself, of course.

Overall, this album is pretty hot and it contains many tracks clubgoers everywhere are familiar with. If you like the Klubbheadz, you are sure to love this energetic album.
