I find it hard to believe you've listed this. TEX has some terrific tracks,
certainly ("Semi Detatched," "Majestic" rmx), some good but not great
tracks ("Praying Mantra" edited painfully, "Xeper" rmx just like the LP
version), and some positively dire stuff ("Persuasion" and the very
disappointing "Analogue Bubblebath 3"). All in all, it's not a bad
compilation by any stretch (filler is par for the course with comps, which
sparked this thread in the first place), but I think the Volume people
could have fit it on a single disc; I wouldn't miss a lot of those tracks.
