Funny, I'm playing that right now.

I just picked it up last week. It seems mellower than MYWR, and frankly it didn't grab my attention too much - I haven't played it since I bought it.

My copy is on GPR.

Hit and miss, as most compilations. Quick review: the opening track by Nus is just terrible - bad vocal alert. Bill Laswell does this sort of dnb thing, I guess it's ok. Going nowhere snoozers from Scanner and Seefeel. Fun resonant drums on the Silk Saw track. The Laibach track is orchestral, not my sort of thing. Mick Harris track is pretty cool - pounding drums, lots of noises, typical little Scorn melody. Goes on too long though. Funkydubby track by Islamic Diggers, I guess this called a breakbeat, and some sample about William S. Burroughs not playing guitar. Then there's Nuuk Posse - - hip hop in some language I don't speak. Pretty generic imo. Mouse on Mars track has lots of weird sounds and a melody, so it wins for me. Last track is David Shea, fast, almost middle eastern sounding. Sounds like Muslimgauze on speed. Jon
