I reckon this is a worthwhile package, as many of the tracks have only been
available on respective Volume compilations. The Sabres track is a good track
in the vein of Haunted Dancehall. The Aphex track is a noisy hard track off the
ABB vol 1 EP. The Orbital track is a bit sad imo, as it has a rather dreary
vocal on it. But also worth your money for IDM interest are the Autechre and
LFO tracks, an exlusive Orb remix, a Cab Voltaire track, and a number of
others. The range of music is considerable, from rap to ambient. There's even a
hilarious little acoustic ditty at the end called "Reefer song" in which the
guy narrates a tale of getting some coppers stoned. Wicked!
