hm...haven't heard much about what people think of this thing. Got it home=
 yesterday, and my first reaction is: oh, right, now I remember why I used=
 to have little interest in electronic dance music. At worst, the stuff on=
 this compilation is paper-thin dance fodder that hasn't aged gracefully.=
 Certainly most stuff I've heard from Warp is somewhat more developed=
 musically and/or conceptually.=20

Alright, so the people who went on to make pretty interesting music were=
 influenced by a bunch of crap. Well, I usually like crap, so I guess I'll=
 keep listening to it till I like it.

well, now actually, by the time my expectations were whittled down to=
 naught, I became excited when Disc 2 proved to be a bit better. A least=
 there's a few good tracks in a row at the top (Unique3, 808 State, A Guy=
 Called Gerald), before more or less lapsing into crap of historical interes=
t.
