. Chill Out comp cd (Sabotage)
Even from the first glimpse of this release you know who and 
what this comp is paying tribute to. Both the covers are almost 
exact copies of the seminal 1990 Chill Out album by the KLF 
but in place of sheep there are wolves. The music contained 
therein is not quite chill out music but rather experimental 
electronica's answer to it. Artists featured on this come include
I-f, Epy, Farmers Manuel, Pomassl, Panacea, Fennesz, Alois 
Huber, Ryoji Ikeda, Aube, and Bannlust to name a few. The 
tracks range in styles from noise-like electronica to electro to 
hard distorted breakbeats (complete with "mu-mu" and "kick 
out the jams" samples in the latter). Fans of Mego, A-Musik, 
Sabotage and Sahko will not be disappointed by this one but 
fans expecting an ambient classic akin to the original Chill 
Out might be disappointed for challenging experimental
flavor on this one. 7/10
