I'll 2nd that! I prefer volume one personally. Similarly, if you can
find Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System aka Tackhead Tape Time, it
collects several singles in re-mangled form (improvements over the 12"es).
The Power Inc. comps have better sound, though -- better bass EQ mainly.
As for the earlier comment about "Squarepusher of the 80's"... maybe
someone can explain the appeal, but having heard _Feed Me Weird Things_,
there was too much chaos vs. not enough strangeness...not surreal enough.
(If you weren't keeping track, I am all in favor of chaos.) I'm
open-minded, though -- if there's another release in which the balance is
different, I'll check it out.

years, army afterward. Liberated, we live in prison. Know this, know
that. Kill us before we die." -- John Cage
