Review by tcordes Nov 03, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

This is a bizarre mixed bag. There's no predominant style other than it all being somewhat electronic.

However, it is a great way to gain a CD copy of Senor Coconut's mix of La Cumbia Triste. This brilliant bit of insanity is easily missed amongst the mediocre tracks. I'm not a huge Atom Heart fan, but am certainly warming up to him lately. The flashes of brilliance like this one are simply astounding. I haven't heard the original, but I would guess the only resemblance is the chopped up sampled vocals and chords.

The track starts with a butchered bunch of samples and a latin beat a la most of S.Coconut. It moves into an almost-mainstream (but not quite!) staccato romp that really gets you moving. And you're thinking: OK... and then at 4:20 you're thrown into a completely different song. Hold on, where did this come from? Brilliant Autechre-esque chicken-flavored echoes, panning squiggles, warm pads, insane sub-bass, and floating ambience take you back to the best ambient of the early 90's. Simply magic.

I wish I had more to say about the comp as a whole, but nothing else stands out and a lot of it is garbage.
