“Thankyou ”
Your 14 tracks concept has had the biggest impact on my listening tastes this year by a mile. It has consistently opened my ears to music I simply wouldnt be aware of and made me a major fan of modern classical (the chello and piano selections were 2 of the my favourites) as well as the many bass / dubstep variations you have brought to my attention. Bought the first 2 best of 2008 selections and I'll be getting this one when i get home. I look forward some more incredible music. Thankyou.

“Zomby”
I'm not normally a negative person, but the Zomby track on here is weeeeeeeeak. It knocks a chunk out of an otherwise very good selection.
sorry.
