I bought this pair of CDs with great trepidation - most
samples of buyout music available at reasonable prices
have been, uh, well, unsatisfactory at best (read,
"useless"...;-). While much of the music on these disks
did not fit my particular style (perhaps unusual...;-),
there is a good variety, and enough to satisfy me that
the price paid was very reasonable for what I want to use.
As said above, the production values are high, and the
tracks are both musically and sonically satisfying, with
nary a bad-sounding or corny cut in the bunch...
