I have fat cat compilation CD called Across Uneven Terrain, which
presents many styles of fat cat, but I don't necessary have to like=20
all those styles (post-rock =3D the most boring music style/genre =
ever???)

Some tracks I liked were:

PROCESS - Calene=20
-sound like: Chain Reaction + Seefeel

BJ=D6RK Mit FUNKST=D6RUNG - All Is Full Of Love (Secondotted)=20
-the better one of All is full of love remixes
-another nice Autec... sorry Funkst=F6rung track :)

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 8.5=20
-sounds like err... Various Artists=20
-too short=20

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 9 (AUTECHRE remix)=20
-sounds nothing like autechre has done before, the best track on comp
-hard banging 4/4 techno
