Various - Scratch Tracks

I have to rivise my opinion of the previous review and admit that this record is very enjoyable. I must have been consumed with the disappointment of not getting the original tracks when i first found the LP.
Meanwhile i sold my previous copy and while selling it i was listening to the LP again and found it a joyful experience. So now i got it again and not planning on selling anytime soon. Probably this LP was inspired by the success of the Streetwave Electro series from the UK at the time. This seems to be confirmed by the similar sleeve design and track selection.

Although Ben Liebrand doesn't make the best DJ remix albums in the world, i feel the Shannon remix is quite nice and works better for me than the original.
Also, the Captain Rock tracks work well for me. Ben hasn't done any serious harm to them. I even have two copies of this LP and feel it's a cheap way of obtaining some nice tracks.

This album shows exactly why i stay away from any Ben Liebrand remix. He manages to totally destroy some otherwise excellent electro tracks here by adding very cheap sounding keyboard scratch sounds and stabs to the tracks, which sound very annoying to me. I accidentally bought this album thinking it couldn't hurt to have another vinyl with 'Nonline' on it, but Ben spoiled the fun for me.
