there's a new meat beat manifesto CD coming out in the US on may 20
called "original fire". a mix of classic tracks, stuff from the
archives, and remixes. guest remixers are luke vibert and the orb,
both doing "radio babylon".
the vibert mix is particularly good - a pumped up jungle version of a
classic track. no mucking around, no cheese factor, just bass heavy
dancefloor destruction.
the rest of the tracks are excellent as well, of course. meat beat
has been one of the most consistent names ever in terms of quality and
innovation, and this release delivers on both counts.
