Just got this in the mail, and I think it's worth checking out.
Reinterpretation of the classic 60's psychedelic rock hits, "Psyche Rock",
"Too Fortiche", & "Jericho Jerk", by the likes of William Orbit, Fat Boy
Slim, Coldcut, Tek 9, Funki Puncini, and more. 
This is chop shop music at its best. Nice sounds, loose compositions, odd
transitions with a tendency to get funky. Fans of the the "Sound Gallery"
compilation and.... uh... good electronic stuff, should take note.
The William Orbit mix is ace. Kind of like taking two tapes, one with Psyche
Rock on it, the other with heavy, chunky electronic sounds, and a pair of
scissors to make something that will put a smile on your face.
One of the few cd's I've had the patience to actually listen through all the
way on the first run.

enjoy
