That'll be Anthology. There's a funny story about my vinyl verion of
this release. I bought it at full price from my local record shop and
discs 3 & 4 were pressed differenly, but contained exactly the same
tracks! Anyway, I rang up Deviant to tell them and they said there'd
been a pressing error with about 50 copies, and promptly sent me a new
one...which was exactly the same!! Anyone else on the list have the
vinyl version and has experienced the same thing? I never did hear the
CD to see if they did the same with that (unlikely).
Anyway, that means I can only comment on what I've heard (ie just
"Movement", "Reworks" and "Awakenings" no "Additions" section) which
didn't impress me that much. Too long overall, and I haven't listened to
it in a very long time.
(Sound of digging on the vinyl stack)
Yes, listening to it again, it's kind of trancey/techno stuff with
breakbeaty bits - a little like Orbital circa Brown LP but less
danceable and not quite as good. Too trancey for me, which Brown LP
wasn't that much. Make of that what you will. There are certainly some
nice moments, but its a bit too epic.
Hope this helps.
