  • The pantheon of ‘Guilty Pleasures’ usually includes ’70s AOR and ’80s hair metal, but its these E’d-up, tartrazine-fuelled rave classics from the golden years of 1988 to 1994 that provide the most pleasurable guilt to people of a certain age. This TV-advertised Ronco-style 41-track 2-CD set has all the classics – Snap, 808 State, Black Box, Altern8, Inner City, Candi Staton, Blue Pearl, Mantronix, C&C Music Factory: a digital blizzard of 808 drum machines, Akai samplers, plonky pianos and sped-up munchkin vocals. You know you love it.
