I managed to pick these up yesterday, and i'm still ploughing my way
through all the tracks. From what I've listened to so far it's a
great compilation and an excellent way to get into the Mo Wax sound.
I'm a bit of a Mo Wax fan, and allthough some of the releases can complete
dross on the whole it's still one of the most adventureous lables about.
Occasionally pulling out all the stops when comming to idm, if you
haven't got a copy of Andrea Parkers - Melodius Thunk go and buy it NOW,
I can't praise this record enough (Dark, Deep, Brooding, Funky Techno)
it's a grand soundscape of intence beauty (got a bit carried away there).
Just don't bother with new Andrea Parker 12" Rocking Chair though, how
ever much I try to like it, her voice just doesn't have the emotion to
pull it off(it's also off key). :(
Another to avoid is Ebo Man - Donuts with Buddah EP, I bought this because
of a Depth Charge remix and even that couldn't rescue it.
On a good note, the Luke Virbert mix of Tortois's - The Taut & Tame is ace,
an idm future classic.
