Perhaps this fact can be attributed to the persons behind it ;) Cass (of Cass & Slide), James Monro (of Bumbling Loons, Technossomy et al.) & Dominic Lamb (of Slinky Wizard fame.)
Although this release emerged near the tail-end of the famed Flying Rhino's golden era, it is still a very decent effort.
Obviously, since this is a release comprising a total of 32 tracks, I will not bore you by delving into the details of each one.
The lowdown:
CD1 (Monro) is an all-out laid-back experience, with a selection of tracks from this label's and sister label Flying Rhino Freestyle's offerings. The mix exhibits a good dose of chilled-out-ness and also touches on dub and trip hop; while offering portions of phat basslines throughout. Favorites on this one include Gus Till/Paul Jackson's "Monkey in the Black Sky", Atmos' (Tomasz Balicki) "Always in Control" and Darshan's (Grant Collins, Mark Robinson) "Spectra". However, this disc also has one very out-of-place (IMO) ethnic-ish element in Red Seal's "Cool Down" track which - unfortunately - is an immediate skip for me. Probably the reason I don't listen to this one as often as the other two.
CD2 (Cass) serves as the classic techno/house/breakbeat mix of the three. It has now risen to become my favorite of the bunch (previously CD3 was the one most frequently visited; but both this one and CD1 grows on you.)
The stand-out track on this one is Corellian's (Grant Collins) deliciously chunky piece "Fathoms" -- which is offered in two incarnations on this disc; the original "Bed Rocker" release (only 2:50) as well as a longer reprise edit on track #9. Other favorites include Son Kite's (Sebastian Mullaert & Marcus Henriksson) "Unfamiliar" and Digitalis' (Sebastian James Taylor) "Fuck The Siren" & "Untitled Breaks Tune", and the Bumbling Loons remix of "Desire" (by ManMadeMan).
CD3 (Lamb) is probably the one many progressive trance (or "GOA") -heads will hang on to after an initial listen. As with all CDs in this package, selection and quality is very good. Personal favorites on this one include Atmos' "Bad 2 The Bone" and 12 Moons' (Michael Andresen) "Smell of Spräck".
For those interested in an extremely diversified selection of Rhino's more recent selections, I'll recommend you give this one a try.
