i think TEX 1 is about the closest you can get to a flawless techno
compilation. it's kinda weird but i think every techno-head i know has this
comp. is it a benchmark? although drum&bass selection 4 comes pretty close
to a perfect jungle comp, and counterforce bored me at first (inner city
life is one song i don't think i'll ever need to hear again) but after
taping it for the car i have became more enamored of it.
--P.S. I always like the booklets of Volume...anyone?
on some of the issues the booklets are the best part of the comp. anyone
want to buy the volume 1-10 set, perchance?
on goldie's timeless - after three listens i think i was completely burned
by this $36 impulse buy (well, i had been waiting three months for it and
then after finally deciding to pass it up, a guy at alien waves it in my
face 'your goldie finally came in!') but i'm going to give it another
chance simply because i spent way too much on it. the jungle book comp
burned me too, i got it home and realized i had better versions of 75% of
the tracks on other comps or mixtapes. tpower's new one was definitely a
good buy though. :)
expect a 'out with the old, in with the new' cheapo blowout sale from me
after the new year. my new year's resolution: from now on, all my techno
buying is going to be STRICTLY mailorder. i'll keep browsing in the stores
here because everyone needs that hands-on dialogue with their music
purchases, but i'll leave the checkbook at home.
