Notes

Blech: The Nexus Phase

The Discjockeys PC & Strictly would like to thank Chantal for her Super-Co-ordination, Matt & Jon for the use of their hard disk space and Steve for being Les.

Note that Aphex Twin tracks titled "SAW: II CDx.x" refer to untitled songs from Selected Ambient Works Volume II. For example: "SAW: II CD2.4" is the fourth track on the second disc.

Additional speech samples used include:
- "Rhythm is both..." on track 4 from Grace Jone's Slave to the Rhythm LP.
- "...between good and evil" on track 6 and "...of a straight razor" on track 18 both from the movie Apocalypse Now.

A timeless set...eventhough it's predominetly what most would label simply as a set filled with "experimental" music...if u listen carefully, u can hear all the elements/genres of music placed together so carefully, and in a subtle manner, so it doesn't come off choppy...elements of jazz, hip-hop, house, techno, ambient, and electro all fuse here behind the music...a wise choice of records put in just the right places all coming from Warp's greatest artists.

Review by alucas Jun 18, 2003
Seriously one of the best electronic mixes out there. But then again, when you have such a fine body of work to start with, and two more than able DJs at the helm, what do you expect?

Right up there with Coldcut's JDJ.
Rated 5/5

This album is breath taking from start to finish. The mixing is seamless,and the music is culled from warps finest moments. A real contender for the "Best Electronic Album of All Time " category.
