Well, I'm usually _NOT_ buying compilations; this one was the only exception this -eh, last- year... so guess what I voted for... and... I can't say I was disappointed. * The AFX/Squarepusher collaboration simply rocks * I liked the BoC track more than their album * The Broadcast track was the only of their tracks I found to like (judging by the RealAudio samples on the WARP site) * The Plaid track didn't do much for me, but then again, so does(n't) Plaid (I love The Black Dog, though...) * Autechre's "Stop Look Listen" is still one of my fave tracks; take note that I'm currently working at their backlog of releases :) * Nightmares On Wax' "Fishtail Parker" is their only track I know, but it sure is fun (NOW recommendations, anyone?) * "Wear My Bikini" == "Jimi Tenor" // 'nuff said :) (Ok, so I'm a fan...) * Plone's "Plaything" is more fun than their "Plock EP"... * "4 Dead Monks" is the only Red Snapper track I like (again judging by the RealAudio; can't get into their vocals...) * Mira Calix' track is nice; I think I really should pick up "Pin Skeeling"... * The 2 Lone Swordsmen track, compared to "Stay Down" and "A Bag Of Blue Sparks", is dull, tho, and, last and least... * Mark Bells "ASTTPWSFY"... err... let's just say LFO works better for me... Well, 'nuff said, I think... :) -- Kurt B.
