This disc seems somewhere between a v/a comp and an album by a "posse" --
and probably closer to the 2nd.  It has both variety, and the kind of
coherence (as opposed to sameness) that you don't often find, even on a
disc recorded all by one producer or writer.

_Interstellar Fugitives_ is a great collection that shows off the new and
recent developments -- moving forward from the type of "313" you might
suppose you'd be hearing, into a fresh electro/techno/tv-funk sound and
other unexpected, promising directions.
