Hey Mike, Well.. I can certainly see people viewing it as a disappointment, but when I bought this comp back in late 96, it became my first who's-who names-to-faces piece of detroit techno. Sentimental value... it's got the stars on it for sure.
At the time, the two(three) biggest detroit artists I was getting into were Claude Young and Drexciya. The tracks by both are hideous. Still the worst tracks I've ever heard by them. Not a big fan of Saunderson's E-Dancer either. This comp definately got me into Eddie Fowlkes. He's got two great tracks on there, one of which is this slurpy happy pre-klang IDM track that makes me pump my fist into the air 4 years later. Classics like D. May's "wiggin", Pullen's "8th Wonder" Pennington's "Art of Stalking" Cool stuff by T-1000, Shake, Keith Tucker, ... first time I had heard actual tracks by those 3. Blake Baxter's "where's the love" rocks hard with extremely tactful 303 usage. :) the good old days before all the animal porn, heroin addiction, and Mills/Oakenfold love children. n8 On Sun, 10 Dec 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I believe that this comp came out in 1996 on Sony/React.
