Here's some of my impressions. The Mealtime comp on the whole is quite
good, with the live Jega, Mould, Mu-ziq remixes, Point Blank, and
yes...the Horse Opera tracks coming in on the top of the heap for me.
The Aphex track, however, I feel to be one of the weaker tracks on the
comp. It seems to rely on several rather cliche'd samples (such as a
funk guitar riff and a rather stale drum break) to drive the track
forward. All in all, it ends up being a rather boring stab at a genre
that many consider to be getting tired as it is. Despite the Aphex track
though, I gotta admit that I really love the comp, and I'm still lovin'
that drill shtuff...
