I found Tone Tales From Tomorrow Too to be surprisingly good. It's a mix CD by Coldcut on their NTone label, somewhere between ColdCrushCuts & JDJ in quality. It takes a few tracks to get going, but then, it kicks! Tracks by Coldcut, Neotropic, Journeyman, Drom, MLO, Hex, STC, and others. If you can find a copy, buy it. I found early Ninja comps (and the Shadow rehashes) had a certain "sameness" about them (my theory - too many DJ Food tracks), but they've definitely added more breadth (& depth) to their label since then. Che rock - rok (v.) - having a conventional and/or boring nature. ex: "Khakis rock". "That Rolling Stones show rocked". syn: suck.
