The original Powerpill 12" is great, with some mixes containing really
booming bass. It used to remind me of Meat Beat's "Helter Skelter" in
some ways, rhythmically. A friend got the "Only For The Headstrong" Vol .2 CD
and we listened to the version on there and it was far worse than the
stuff on the original 12"; watered down and basically lame.
I suspect you'll like the 12" a *lot* better than the "Only For The Headstrong"
compilation track.
In other news: since MMM chided us about still talking about Orbital and
The Prodigy, I'll mention something different: Riz Maslen's Neotropic album
("15 Levels of Magnification") is an absolute Must Buy. What a phenominal
record this is. Stylistically varied, slammin' tracks, multi-layered, lots
going on, and in general a true "Caution: Brain At Work" release. Fabulous.
