Right then... :)
Some other people on it, to give you some idea:
Chris & Cosey, :zoviet france:, Mouse on Mars, Mike Ink (from memory it's
a Gas track), Du (Jan Werner+FX Randomiz), Alec Empire (not in digital
hardcore mode, still a crap track :), DJ Spooky, J Burger (aka Bionaut,
The Modernist), Oval, Jim O'Rourke, Christian Voegel, Fetisch Park,
Beequeen, Charles Christophe, Rome, Trans Am...
In other words, it's 2 CDs of predictable "experimental" stuff. ;)
It's mainly cold and beatless, with some beaty tracks from the techno
heads (Ink, Burger, Voegel).
I can't think of much to say without having the CD here to refer to, but I
would recommend it if the majority of the artists take your fancy. None of
the ones I already liked let me down, except possibly Mike Ink. :zoviet
france: and Chris and Cosey, in particular, exceeded my expectations by a
mile. Really strong drone tracks from both of them.
The Mouse on Mars and Christian Voegel tracks are the only ones I've heard
elsewhere - from memory, MoM's track is '1001' off 'Instruementals' and
Voegel's is 'Gargantuan Tautological Machinery' off one of his Mille
Plateaux CDs.
