2. GUI BORATTO-"RENAISSANCE - THE MIX COLLECTION" 5-CD BOX SET (2010). WOW! THIS IS AN EXTENDED ELECTRO EXTRAVAGANZA 5 CDs WORTH OF QUALITY ELECTRONICA FROM THE ALWAYS EXCELLENT GUI BORATTO. HE HAS GREAT TASTE AND THIS COLLECTION PROVES IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCELLENT LISTEN. THE LAST 2 DISCS ARE CONTINUOUS MIXES. JUST GREAT. ****
