I picked it up for about $16 and I'd say it's definantly worth it. Nothing on it is mind-blowingly awesome, and some things are cheezy (Dmitry pretty much ruined _confusion_ :-) but you get reasonably good stuff from Aphex Twin, the Grid, System 7, sabres, Autechre and LFO. Plus you get Volume's trademark glitzy production complete with booklet. (I was disappointed in the Orbital mix as well. However, I liked the Orb song more than I usually like the orb. Underworld's track was interesting too.)

Is this Underworld track one of their sorta "proto-tracks"? They seem to have had some releases, which they then adapt and release again under a different name, eg. 'Dirty Guitar' -> 'Dirty Epic', 'Rez' -> 'Cowgirl'. In the track 'Spoonman' on 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' most major changes are punctuated with a sample of someone saying "change". So is 'Change' a "proto-Spoonman", or is it a coincidence?
