OH, that hurts! Come now, yeah - there are indeed a couple of schwillers on this but "Fantasize Me" , dross? Tisk tisk! Theres some dandy house numbers on this comp! Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks though, huh? Listening to this reminds me of the many (seven?) ways techno has gone dow-w-n-n, dow-w-n-n, dow-w-w-w-n-nhill. If these were sparsely produced tracks in their day, where does that put todays point-and-click tracks now? These tracks are downright involved production-wise and downright virtuoso compared to the SHIT I hear now! In these I hear - gasp! - chord changes and drum-pattern changes, thus rendering "songs"! Todays "tech-no(t)" is the same fucking thing with NO CHANGES AT ALL for thirteen minutes! Yeah, this reminds me of why I actually enjoy early house music! Rock on...or "jack on"!
