The most recent Ultra collection is very upbeat and terrific for exercising. It's not particularly deep and definitely not something to listen to as you would music that takes you away from everything for a while and becomes a mind-altering experience. Last year's compilation stood on its own and had some great zen-like moments.
2015's edition is strictly for the beats and the infectious urge to dance. Stand-outs include: "Delirious (Boneless)," "Five Hours," "My Head Is A Jungle" (MK Remix) and "Brand New (Extended Version)."

A review for Ultra 2014:
Review by David Jeffries
Packed with club hits like Calvin Harris' "Thinking About You," Steve Aoki and Chris Lake's "Boneless," plus the Benny Benassi and John Legend team-up "Dance the Pain Away," Ultra 2014 continues to display the mighty licensing muscle this Universal label's annual series has previously wielded, but the difference is in the "details," which in other series is called "filler." Here, powerful, excellent, and yet lesser-known numbers make all the difference, with Hadouken!'s "Levitate" and Lazy Jay's "On the Rocks" being the top candidates, although the delicious and unexpected gathering of Flosstradamus, Yellow Claw, and Green Velvet on "Pillz" will jump right to the top of the list for anyone who loves speaker-ripping electro eccentrics. Being mixed well is icing on the cake, leaving nothing to complain about except for this being one of the shorter (disc one comes in at under 50 minutes) entries. Minor complaint; otherwise the Ultra series remains ultra.
