MoS : The Annual is perhaps the only compilation album you need to buy this year. i have been religiously buying the annual for about seven years now (dating back to the annual 2002). even if you are not an avid listener of dance/electronica, there is still something in store for you for the mix is usually comprised of revamped versions of mainstream hits, current dancefloor shakers, and future chart toppers (believe me on this one, i was introduced to iio, daniel bedingfield, and royksopp way before they shot up to stardom). If you are unfamiliar with 'the annual' you might be wondering why it would be dated '2009' when it is only '2008'. Well, besides the fact that it is always released when new years is fast approaching, the +1 year suggests that what you would be hearing are choons that will conquer radio waves the following year. it is a round-up of dance songs from 2008 as well as a prophecy of what the sound of 2009 will be like (or at least, this is what i think about why the annual always dates a year ahead).

oddysey records (philippines), usually (not always) imports the UK version of 'the annual'. In any case, you can always purchase it online, they have packages that includes 'the annual' with the original MoS scent - one for a boy and one for a girl.
