I just wanted to give this a mention, as I bought it a few weeks ago and
it's hardly left my cd player since then. I haven't seen any comments here
about it, so I thought I'd demonstrate my poor reviewing skills and give it
a few comments... :)
Various - Constant Friction Collaborations 2 (Lo)
I didn't see the first in this series, but I guess it was along similar
lines to this - a load of artists pair up and make a track. There's a fair
few names I don't recognise on here but also quite a lot I'm sure we've all
heard of (plaid, cylob, squarepusher, hrvatski, kid 606). The tracks are all
quite varied so it can jump from one thing to another a bit, but I think
this is part of its strength rather than a weakness. I've certainly found
some good stuff on here that I wouldn't have listened to otherwise. Stand
out tracks for me would have to be Plaids collaboration with Addie Brik (bit
weird to start with, but grows on you), Twisted Science and Void's deadly
dark d'n'b, and Richard Thomas and Squarepushers Plate Core (from the I Am
Carnal...12" that got good reactions on here a while ago). Oh, and track 4
too, but I can't remember who that ones by! :) I don't know how indicative
this comp is of Lo's output, but it's certainly made them a label I'll be
keeping my eye on.
