A straightforward double-disc set from Ministry of Sound, Back to the Old Skool: Ibiza Anthems remains true to its title, mixing 38 club hits -- most of which fall within the realms of progressive house and progressive trance -- from the '90s and early 2000s. Most of the significant tracks are here, including Jaydee's "Plastic Dreams," Underworld's "Born Slippy," Ce Ce Peniston's "Finally," Paul Van Dyk's "For an Angel," Planet Perfecto's "Bullet in the Gun," Sueño Latino's "Sueño Latino," and the Future Sound of London's "Papua New Guinea."
