Review by AEK Jul 05, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Considering Rod Modells' astounding repertoire, it seems impossible to narrow down the "deepchord years" onto only one CD. Having said that; along with the 'Continuous-Flow' mix (also on Silentes), this CD outshines both 'dc01-06' and 'dc15' released on the Deepchord imprint. The earlier material of dc07 and 08 has been omitted in favour of the deeper, dreamier productions but inclusions from dc09, 12 and 13 are sorely lacking here. On the plus side all three tracks from dc10 are featured with clean mastering from the source; it had always been a gripe of mine that the dc10 12" had been pressed so quietly. It's already been four years since deepchord 16; and even though Modell is currently more prolific than ever, it is starting to look like his Deepchord label has been laid to rest. If this is the case what was really needed here was something more special, preferably in the form of a DVD release (on Deepchord), with more unreleased material. Regardless, any collector of the label can't be without this. Utterly essential...
