Various - Assassi:Nations - The Killers!

A solid comp from the TIP World crew in their usual style. Some people call this the highlight of the Nations series of comps. I'm not sure its that good, but it is solid and still has some highlight tracks 3 years later. The GMS remix of Midnight Sun is one of GMS' better remix and they compliment Alien Project very well. D-Tek and Dr. Panic's Psychedelic Cowboy at first seemed like a gimmic track vaguely in the style of Juno Reactor's Pistolero, yet it seems to keep getting better and better after intially disliking it, I now find myself strongly drawn to it. Synthetic's The Mummy is another stand out for me with its dark, dirty, crunchy and unrelenting vibe. Its very much unlike the usual TIP fare and a welcome addition to the comp.

Meathead Productions is a Dado/Riktam effort that sounds, unsurprisingly like GMS, but the track is still strong and a bit dark in vibe. It is a nice track if nothing terribly original. Alien Project vs Asterix is a typical product from these two soundwise, both being very much of the post GMS TIP stable, but Genetic Eyes is still solid. Zorba, being the mainstream sideproject of GMS, has that sort of mainstream touch that belongs on the movers and grovers comps. The Rush's presence here is a bit of a mystery, but for what it is it is actually pretty good and it doesn't come out as terribly out of place. Logic Bomb gives us some heavy kick bass action with an excellent, somewhat frantic, stomper in th form of Lodjik. Have A Drink, by the Antidote, is probably the low point on the album, although it is by no means a stinker of a track.

The end result is a good comp with some winners, some strong filler and no particularly weak tracks.
