First, i get nearly two and a half hours of masterful multichannel mixes on this release. Second, lyrically, this is a compelling and powerful portrait of what life as a gay man in 1984 was like (and very well may still be); additionally, i get thoughtful cultural commentary. Third, the music makes me want to dance around my listening space. Fourth, the mix makes maximum use of my 7.1 setup. Fifth, once i accept Jimmy Somerville's vocals, i am able to soar ecstatically with him.

I'm SO excited and pleased by this release (I had only heard "Smalltown Boy" in clubs back in the day) that i gratefully and gleefully double my above five reasons to arrive at my score: 10! In a perfect world, i would have come up with 10 reasons, but this release is so good, i simply can't sit still! I really dig thought-provoking dance music that packs a punch!
