for those interested in slightly easier-to-find house/trance comps, i
would highly recommend terry francis' architecture (progressive house, as
far as i can tell), and several global underground comps, like seb
fontaine, oakey's, and danny teneglia. the latter especially - some
great deep-ass nyc house.
the sasha/digweed northern exposure comps are classics as well, imho,
especially the eastcoast edition.
i don't know how "intelligent" i would call these, but i certainly enjoy
listening to them in my bedroom. isn't that sorta what is meant by "idm" -
dance music for which you don't need a dancefloor to enjoy?
by the way, i heard the new global underground sasha comp (ibiza) will
include a remix of orbital's nothing left. could be interesting.
certainly there are some orbitalheads on this list?
later,
