Alot of "techno" compilations come through my store every month, but
recently one came in that impressed me significantly (hard to do
these days since I started pulling out my old Marvin Gaye records
again..) Anyways, here's the poop:
Feed Your Head : Various Artists
BARK CD 002 (Planet Dog)
1. Astralasia : Twilight Whirl
2. The Drum Club : Furry Meadows (DogStar Mix)
3. Eat Static : Kothluwalawa *this track is _outstanding_!
4. BancoDeGaia : Qurna (Haj Ali's Birthday Mix)
5. Pressure of Speech : Surveillance
6. OpticEye : Blue Dreamers
7. The Knights of the Occasional Table : Rain
8. Tuu : 1000 years
9. System 7 : Habibi (The Camel Mix) *remixed by Mr. Falconer
10. Nodens Ictus : Plurlgnrium
11. The Ullulators : ...And Hardly any Ears!
All in all, this is a wholly impressive compilation, clocking in at
just under 74 minutes. Usually (i.e. as in the Ambient Dub Series)
there are always a few booty tracks on each compilation, but this one
shines brightly without any dogs to speak of. Well worth the trip
(pun intended). Also, it includes little bios on each of the bands
(hey Beyond, there's an Idea!!) and also and address for bedroom
musicians to send their tapes. A 9.75, imho.
Apollo!
