Limited edition deluxe 3CD in special leather 32 page book packaging.

‘Ministry of Sound - The Annual XXV’ embodies the sound of the world’s most famous club and dance music at large, over the last quarter of a century. It features 66 huge tracks from global stars like Stardust, Faithless, Underworld, Todd Terry, Fatboy Slim, David Morales, Roger Sanchez, Eric Prydz, Groove Armada and many more and reminds us once again of the huge impact Ministry of Sound has had on the musical landscape.

The first ever edition of The Annual was mixed by Pete Tong and Boy George back in 1995 and was a true statement of British dance culture. Since then, the series has consistently joined the dots between the underground and the more mainstream sides of house, trance and dance with its own iconic adverts and a unique mix of music from global superstars. More than ten million copies of The Annual have been sold worldwide over the years and its careful curation has always shone a light on all corners of the dance spectrum.

‘Ministry of Sound - The Annual XXV’ is a truly historic celebration of all that has happened over the intervening years, touching on eras of dance music that it has been involved in shaping, from euro-dance to deep house, big beat to disco. It is jam packed with classics: music that defined an era and shaped the tastes of a generation of electronic music lovers.

Without The Annual, many artists’ careers would have taken very different paths and countless dancers would have missed out on these vital annual snapshots of the global state of club music.
