It's not really an album. It compiles the two "Odd Job" 12"s - one with
two remixes by Soul Oddity (which is really Phoenecia themselves doing the
electro thang) and one with mixes by a bunch of people like Autechre and
such. Plus it has an extra Takeshi mix.
I'm was fairly underwhelmed myself. The Soul Oddity mixes are fun, but the
other ones seemed pretty Schematic-by-numbers to me.
Than again, I was probably extra critical of it since I got the Norken,
Metamatics and Dopplereffekt discs at the same time and had just been
blown away by all three of them before spinning the Phoenecia. So perhaps
I should revisit it a little later.
