Various Artists: Oh What A Feeling 2 - A Vital Collection of Canadian Music

In celebration of the 30th annual Juno Awards, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has released a "Special Collector's Edition" 4-CD box set, entitled Oh What A Feeling - A Vital Collection of Canadian Music. Featuring over five hours of music, with liner notes by journalist Larry LeBlanc, the box set is packed with Canada's finest hit songs and contains 76 songs from the Who's Who of Canadian music. Oh What A Feeling is the result of a co-operative effort from the music industry at large. Most of the proceeds generated from the sales of this compilation will benefit the Starlight Foundation, the Safe Haven Project for Community Living and the CARAS Academic Support Fund. 

This compilation adds to the wealth of material from the first box set. Released 5 years later in 2001, it adds music from the hip-hop, rap & indie rock scene to the more mainstream selections from the first set. The two boxes together contain a virtual Who's Who of Canadian pop music of the 30 years that end in 2001.

While many of the tracks were Canadian-only hits, they show the depth and breadth of the music scene north of 40.
