It's not a bad comp at all - not as good as TEEX2 but better than TEEX3
in my opinion. It's very minimalist and moody - no dancefloor stompers
here, but really eggselent trippy tracks from Meat Beat Manifesto (on
this comp because they're "expatriates"?), Hawke (sorry Jon), and Psychic
TV. Those are the ones that caught my ear, at any rate - the Plastikman
and STC tracks were good but not radical departures from the other stuff
they've done.
