Hits Unlimited is the fourth album from Dutch/Belgian band 2 Unlimited and the last to feature Ray Slijngaard and Anita Doth. It was a greatest hits package featuring 16 songs: 13 previous singles and 3 new ones. The album, released by PWL, was certified gold in the Netherlands.[5] Ray Slijngaard's raps on the verses were not cut on any of the songs on the UK release of this album.

Critical reception

[edit]

Music Week wrote, "A storming 16-track collection of pop/rave classics cataloguing the incredible impact Dutch duo Anita and Ray have had since 1991. The inclusion of European versions, with added rap will be a bonus for fans."[6] Stephen Dalton from NME said, "These songs are about clean, controlled fun and strict discipline — 'Jump for Joy', 'Workaholic', 'Let the Beat Control Your Body' — booted along by stormtrooper hardcore beats designed to encourage Eurokids to work hard and use leisure time constructively. [...] This is the sound of robotic consumerism triumphing over everything else — forever. And pretty damn catchy it is, too." He concluded, "Buy this album now and be happy forever."[3]
