If music was measured by a, lets call it that, yawn factor it possesses, then this double CD mixed compilation would make Public Enemys nation of millions fall in eternal sleep.
Call me a fool, but I dont think Ive made it through both of these CDs three times!
Just to make one thing here, its not a genre/style issue, as I can listen to virtually any given form of electronic music, but this takes slopiness and nonsense to a whole new dimension. How dull can minimal get? The track selection wouldnt work as a good night theme to my four year old cousins, let alone for the after hours, or worse yet - a regular party. Hell, where I dwell while having the misfortune to be listening to this, most of these tunes come across as sadist intrusions inside my tortured ear drums. Allegedly, these guys are super stars who know their stuff, so I wont draw any stereotypic conclusions, but if I was to judge em by what they offer here, I wouldnt let them mop the floor in my club, if I was ever to have one.
To end on a relatively good note, this mix has two hot moments. The first comes as track six on CD 1, Collage by Alex Under, while the second is by now the widely known Whos Afraid Of Detroit by Claude Vonstroke, which has position #7 on the second disc. Both of these are spectacular tunes, and somehow pull this one out of the complete disaster area. I bought 12" from which these tracks have been taken and must admit I play them way more regularly than "At the controls". This was, from my own point of view, a complete miss. Sorry.
