If the album cover is any indication at all, this mix is not to be taken too seriously. To me, that's what makes this CD so much better than everything else out there. Modeselektor has chosen some of the tightest tracks; everything from experimental hip hop to techno, dubstep, and IDM. All of which flow so perfectly together. Bronsert & Szary's creativity with their track selection and mixing skills shine to a whole new level here. What they did with Audiojack's remix of "Erotic Disclosure" still blows me away every time. And in my opinion, ending this mix with Radiohead's "Idioteque" was an excellent choice.

5/5
I'll never understand why such a flawed release gets so many good reviews. While I do like the majority of the music spanning both discs, the mixing (or lack thereof) as well as a few poor track selections really ruined what could've been a prefect set.

Disc one starts of great, and while not really getting too daring with his mixing, Agoria keeps the flow going quite well. What ruined this disc for me personally was Findlay Brown's "Losing The Will to Survive" To me, this track felt horribly out of place.

Disc two contains some really great tracks (Flight Of The Albatross, Wayfaring Stranger, etc.) but it lacks the flow of the first disc; some tracks aren't even mixed, they simply end, and after a few moments of silence another song begins.

I should also note that despite a lot of awkwardness on the second disc, the mixing from Fairmont's "Flight Of The Albatross" and Flying Lotus'"Massage Situation" has got to be one of the most creative transitions I've ever heard.

3/5
