I discovered this CD at a local store, lost between numerous old Eurodance compilations. I decided to give it a try. My principal interest was the very nice Daft Punk remix of 'Chord Memory' by Ian Pooley. But there are other strong tracks...
I must admit it was my first time listening to Aphex Twin. I think I had never heard anything from Richard D. James in the past. But better late than never, 'Didgeridoo' (1992) is one of the highlights of CD 1.
In fact, the first part of CD 1 mainly consists of 'old' Techno singles from The Prodigy, Sonic Solution (CJ Bolland) and LFO amongst others. Some will like, some will think it's too dated.
Carl Cox and Winx are featured here but with average standard tracks (sampling Chuck Roberts is so easy, it's getting on my nerves after all this time).
If you never heard it, the 'Deep Pan' version of 'Born Slippy' is quite a nice instrumental remix, full of hope and light. It's followed by the brilliant 'Funkybootik' by Deedrah, and the gay anthem 'The Flow' by Model 500. 'Aaarte' is a funky little bonus to end CD 1.
I feel CD 2 is, in general, less interesting, but nonetheless it features big names of the Techno genre, such as The Orb, FSOL and Joey Beltram. A good way to learn for the neophyte.
