Funny, I'm playing that right now.

I just picked it up last week. It seems mellower than MYWR, and frankly
it didn't grab my attention too much - I haven't played it since I bought
it.

Hit and miss, as most compilations. Quick review: the opening track by Nus
is just terrible - bad vocal alert. Bill Laswell does this sort of dnb thing,
I guess it's ok. Going nowhere snoozers from Scanner and Seefeel. Fun
resonant drums on the Silk Saw track. The Laibach track is orchestral, not my
sort of thing. Mick Harris track is pretty cool - pounding drums, lots of
noises, typical little Scorn melody. Goes on too long though. Funkydubby
track by Islamic Diggers, I guess this called a breakbeat, and some sample
about William S. Burroughs not playing guitar. Then there's Nuuk Posse -
- hip hop in some language I don't speak. Pretty generic imo. Mouse on Mars
track has lots of weird sounds and a melody, so it wins for me. Last track
is David Shea, fast, almost middle eastern sounding. Sounds like Muslimgauze
on speed.
