the vinyl misses A LOT of what the 2CD set has to offer. it's funny how Law & Auder chose one sticker to represesent both formats, yet the vinyl compilation "features" a track that's not even on the thing! sillyness. and that's the only ermmm strange aspect of this release. anyone else notice the spelling of "Avantgardism" on the COMPACT DISCS themselves? it's misspelled on my copy. ok, so as not to waste everyone's time with a rant about the trials and tribulations of misprintings...here's a review of what it sounds like (what it's all about)... take it easy - asg * * * Avantgardism Volume 2 - Law & Auder (2CD & 2LP) As if assessing the affairs of state, the folks at Law and Auder bring forth another fine batch of drum and bass exclusives (well, mostly) featuring a ludricously wide range of acts that can make any trainspotter need this without really thinking about it. But this is quite a lot to consider though. 26 tracks (on the CD set, the vinyl misses a lot of it) of slightly off-center tunes that could convince you that there really are new drum and bass acts turning up every single day and churning out the tunes. Amidst the staples (Plug, T-Power, PCM, and David Kristian, all of whom provide brilliant tracks) of this battle front are even some acts that you might not expect to be on this sucker (most notably, The Black Dog, Freeform Musimgauze). Actually, The Black Dog (track: The Fool, with Eastern synth rhythms and all the bells and whistles of a fine Black Dog track) and Freeform (track: Doosh, a funky jive) tracks are quite enjoyable, as neither stray too far from the norm, as far as their impeccable knack for quality is concerned. While Witchman and Boymerang show off their (ahem...previously released!) remix skills, you might like to know what's to be made of the unknowns out there, so here we go...into the safari of off-center jungle. While Pushy! decides to sound like Front Line Assembly (not in the best way), Pearl gets real dark and deep (in a good way) with a track called Depth-Charge. Of course, with any compilation of masters (i.e. Plug) and their apparent apprentices (i.e. Bowling Green and Mung), the similarities are going to pop up occasionally. And this is no exception. And if that wasn't enough, the compilation brings you everything from quirky jump-up (Ajax Disco Spanner, Koru) to futuristic Goodlooking-esque vibes (Force of Angels). I don't think I have to go out on a limb with this one, it's fairly solid. My only question: did all the 'spotters notice the misspelling of "Avantgardism" on the CDs, themselves? Damn these rush pressing jobs.
