Very nice idm-ish comp, and domestic on Wax Trax. And seeing some of this
stuff domestic is nice. Like Ishii. :) I'd have to say the standout
tracks are the Moody Boyz, Total Eclipse, and the High Lonesome Sound
System.
The only drawback is that some of this stuff is out already. Like the
Sabres of Paradise, Sandoz, and probably the High Lonesome Sound System.
More may be out too, but that's what I know now. :)
So, finding all of this in one place, at a domestic price, with an
excellent choice of cuts makes this a high recommendation from me.
BTW, is there any interest in me starting my reviews once again? I used
to do reviews eons ago. Titled "AJB Reviews #x", I think a couple can be
found on the techno.stanford.edu site, or maybe in gopherspace somewhere.
If so, please email me privately and I'll think about doing them again...
