(idm) bolshi records

        I picked up a copy of donuts #2, an import (to the USA) compilation
of big beat/triphop tracks on Bolshi records.

         Most of the songs sound quite Fatboy Slim-inspired, which I
suppose is not bad, but not too great either.  Overall, the comp is pretty
good, not stellar, and, alas, not worth the $$$ I paid to get it.

        So, I'm wondering this: does Bolshi herald a soon-to-be nauseating
slew of meciocre BigBeat
labels aching to capitalise on the fatboy slim sound?  (oh, wait, maybe
this has already happened....  I saw a "This is BigBeat" 4CD comp at the
record shop the other day, featuring the Prodigy!  weee!)



        thanks.
