Like a good tin of Ronseal, this does exactly what it says on the tin.  For the stately sum of £1.99, you get 15 recent tracks from the Survivor stable to promote the label's finest releases with the added enticement of a couple of CD-ROM features and money-off vouchers included in the inlay card.  What's more, you actually get the whole track as opposed to the annoying 90 seconds you tend to get elsewhere.  Survivor have taken the wise step of mixing familiar artistes such as Tree63, Paul Oakley, Matt Redman, and yfriday with less well known names like Vicky Beeching and Rex Allchurch to showcase their diversity and increasing array of signings.  This is a useful tool to search out full releases of artistes you've never had the courage to just go out and buy on a whim.
