Not to jump on the Drukman/Hatfield == Ashdown/McCoy thing, but there
IS a pretty good writeup on the "brothers" HArdkiss in the
TranceAtlantic booklet. gawd, those books are almost as cool as the
volume disks. TEEX4 is superb, with a trip-hop & jungle flavor unheard
of on any of the prior TEEX releases. The LFO track is gorgeous,
marking a new direction that makes me very anxious for the new full
length: greggie????? Vulva are as good and quirky as ever. The
Ifach/Pure Plastic Rue East and Solcyc are good bass driven acid. The
Chem Brothers/Charlatans lives up to the hype. The Rootless track is a
trip-hop cool breeze that left me wondering why I haven't heard of these
guys B4. Th Depth Charge fuck fest is horny as all and Ms. DJaxx lays
down the simple crunchy acid. I never knew Bytesize Nuns were almost the
Orb; the track doesn't really show it. BTW, the bonus 4 tracker with the
Akasha , Octagon Man, DJ Food and the extra track by A Guy Called Gerald
is a sweet bonus desert. Volume's never failed to satisfy me yet....
