I can't remember anyone comprehensively reviewing this, and well, sorry, but I ain't got the energy... maybe Derek Oliver will... thanks D! It is a monster (four 33rpm 12"s - colored vinyl - high quality pressing - thick sleeves) and has the likes of, well, (recalling), Sun Electric ("Northern Lights #5" - different version than that live release), Fehlmann (pretty good one), Higher Intelligence Agency (good, ...identifiable 30 sec into it), Ebi (intense, refreshing), Pete Namlook (hasn't done much for me yet), Hertsi (sp?) (great! I'd like to know more about other releases!), Deep Space Network (great one too! so-so name, good build/breakdown work - good rhythms), uh, lessee, oh yeah, Air Liquide (pretty much like Nephology stuff, though I'm tired of most 303/909 stuff, they did a little trick with the few-note 303 line that makes for a deceptively arhythmic 303-whooOOP-droning...I'm still waiting for a more original 'sound' to emerge from Air Liquide in the future...hohum), Plastikman ("Gak Remix" yet another subtle twist -- heap it on the "500 Interesting Eccentricities You Can Get From A 202/101" pile -- number it "501"... He definitely knows those boxes.) Oh, it opens with a little 30 sec pitch-shifted-echoey talk that sounds like an excerpt from an interview. The harmonics/eq'ing is such that even after several listennings, I can't assemble the words, yet it is clear enough that I might recognize the voice... that's weird... hmmm... Sorry I can't remember the other folks on this comp off the toppa my head; I'm instead thinking about how I'm gonna try to integrate a borrowed 727 into a track I'm working on... gotta tweak those timbales!

Sex on vinyl isn't it? And very impressive pressing quality as you say. (unlike many coloured an d picture pressings I could mention). Anyone got any of those 3d glasses (red/green) cos I'm sure the labels will look wild. Ooh! I know, I've got a pair in "Virtual Sex". Must try it (The labels that is, not the sex, not yet anyway :-P ) I'm taking a couple of weeks off work so I might get time to listen to it all soon (And Freezone 2 - another 4 pack, and TEX4 - five slices in here!, and Macro Dub Infection - triple, yes serious compilation overload!) and come up with another review of some description in early September. What's this '94 bit on the sleeve, is that a misprint? Surely this just came out?
