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. kurt
