Here's some of my impressions. The Mealtime comp on the whole is quite good, with the live Jega, Mould, Mu-ziq remixes, Point Blank, and yes...the Horse Opera tracks coming in on the top of the heap for me. The Aphex track, however, I feel to be one of the weaker tracks on the comp. It seems to rely on several rather cliche'd samples (such as a funk guitar riff and a rather stale drum break) to drive the track forward. All in all, it ends up being a rather boring stab at a genre that many consider to be getting tired as it is. Despite the Aphex track though, I gotta admit that I really love the comp, and I'm still lovin' that drill shtuff... --brian rachielles idm review archive: www.geocities.com/paris/metro/9160/idm.htm audio on kcsb fm santa barbara intelligent techno/dnb: www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/club/4980
