Excellent compilation. Full length tracks, no edit, not mixed. Over 3h of music. The tracks are well divided; first cd are well known techno anthems (no cheese!), second cd is mostly banging minimal business, and third cd is stuff you would expect on Border Community, "atmospheric" would be a good adjective. Very good buy, excellent value for the money.

Awesome selection, however I would of preferred an unmixed version. Peter Nook (of New Order fame) is not a bad dj, but some transitions are a bit shoddy.. however I have to admit, that mix of Party Boy - Twilight Zone with Phuture - Acid Track is pretty wicked. This album sound like the recordings of a acid-house party, which was, well basically the point ;)But I have to ask, who the f*** is Manray??

This is a really special record for me. It seem to contain a bit of everything, tech-house, techno, with a small trancy flavor... It's really dj friendly, and really easy to throw in any techno/tech-house set. And of course the music is excellent, great rush-hour tracks that keeps you interested until the end of the song.
There is alot of excellent unknown record, and this is one of them. A1, Order, is a really groovy hypnotic tech-house track. It's quite complex, but still keep a nice minimal tone and feature alot of subtle melodies. A2, Dazed and Confused, is a bit faster paced than Order. It kept the groovy feeling of Order, but now the percussion are more present. This is pure tech-house, you won't find any minimal element here. B, Sweet, is quite different than the other two. It's 100% techno, and the groovyness of the other two tracks is quite gone. It's pretty decent, nothing wrong with it, but I must admit it's my least favorite track on this still really respectable release from the austrian label Urknall.
If I could only bring one record with me in my grave when I die, this would be the one. Not because of the Sexy Crazy remixes. I don't really care much for them, they are some kind of weird euro-house/hard-house. In fact, if that record would only have those 3 songs, I would of probably sold it. But the "Bonus Track", Flying, is one of the finest piece of electronic music that nobody ever heard of. It's so wonderful, so much energy! Owning this record make you feel like you know a secret that no one else knows. If ever I come across another copy, I will buy it again. And I would do it again after it too.

Hailing from MONTREAL, CANADA, will a guy like him help build a acid-house scene in the city? I sure fucking hope so.
