That'll be Anthology. There's a funny story about my vinyl verion of this release. I bought it at full price from my local record shop and discs 3 & 4 were pressed differenly, but contained exactly the same tracks! Anyway, I rang up Deviant to tell them and they said there'd been a pressing error with about 50 copies, and promptly sent me a new one...which was exactly the same!! Anyone else on the list have the vinyl version and has experienced the same thing? I never did hear the CD to see if they did the same with that (unlikely). Anyway, that means I can only comment on what I've heard (ie just "Movement", "Reworks" and "Awakenings" no "Additions" section) which didn't impress me that much. Too long overall, and I haven't listened to it in a very long time. (Sound of digging on the vinyl stack) Yes, listening to it again, it's kind of trancey/techno stuff with breakbeaty bits - a little like Orbital circa Brown LP but less danceable and not quite as good. Too trancey for me, which Brown LP wasn't that much. Make of that what you will. There are certainly some nice moments, but its a bit too epic. Hope this helps. gb. -- /TheW i http://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/lwtcdi/all/ f o L D o dlr WTC "Let's decompose and enjoy assembling!"
