In other words, it's 2 CDs of predictable "experimental" stuff. ;) It's mainly cold and beatless, with some beaty tracks from the techno heads (Ink, Burger, Voegel). I can't think of much to say without having the CD here to refer to, but I would recommend it if the majority of the artists take your fancy. None of the ones I already liked let me down, except possibly Mike Ink. :zoviet france: and Chris and Cosey, in particular, exceeded my expectations by a mile. Really strong drone tracks from both of them. The Mouse on Mars and Christian Voegel tracks are the only ones I've heard elsewhere - from memory, MoM's track is '1001' off 'Instruementals' and Voegel's is 'Gargantuan Tautological Machinery' off one of his Mille Plateaux CDs.
