Dunno, but my advice is don't bother. I admit I am tempted myself, but
for the reputed 35 quid asking price I could get myself 7 quality drum
and bass 12"s, which would provide me with infinitely more good music if
I chose well. What's the point of a compilation if not to save you
money? Yeah, it's all exclusives and thus very very enticing, but why
the hell stick it in a metal box and drive the price up. It's a nice
gimmick but a gimmick all the same. If I want a tin I can go buy some
sardines...

As for who's on it, it's the usual Metalheadz suspects Photek, Dillinja,
Ed Rush, Optical, Lemon D, Doc Scott etc some of them attempting
'downtempo experiments' or something like that. I don't know about you,
but if I bought this I would want it to tear for my £35, not ponce
around at 90bpms. That every track is a killer should be a money back
guarantee, and of course the other question remains, if these tracks are
so good, why arn't they on Platinum Breakz II instead?
