well i, i'm the proud owner of yet another ultra-obscure
album which no one seems to have heard of...

i'm not even going to bother the with backwards indecipherable
track-listing (hey fuck'em i got other things to do), but i should
mention that the comp contains tracks by: unit mobeius, I-F and
rude 66... 

the comp kicks off with a lo-fi distored beat a la the last
track on mu-ziq vs. the auteurs CD minus the melody...
then contnuis into some easily forgetable burbbling...
then into some minimal, plastiquman-y slow filterd, trip hop
beats that are complex to be very slow dnb...w lots of reverb, very nice...
lots of movment and actvity
here... hmmm, i like... not much melody, but the drums are great...
next we continue to a track a la aphex twins bubble bath III
sinister melody... nice.
then to a fast(!) hard acid track a la joyrex9... almost exactly
like joyrex9 in fact... lots of guggling... blah. luckly it ends
quickly enoguh, and we return to aphex twin a la analouge bubble
bath III tinged with ABI again. cool melody...  very nice....
very pleasant. then we're back to hard minimal stuff with no idenity
blah... personally i'm tired of that...  the next track sounds like
a snippet of stripped down cylob. terminates quickly... then on to 
a great distored malicous dark drum n' bass number. shit, this is cool...!
very photek. then we're back to acid squggling again..experimental
weirdness ... very very hard acid... then to 
a weird dark distored dnb number...

hard, cold, lo-fi, das hague, and very aphex twin like techno
