Just listening to it now, and its like a bubbling brook of beautiful-ness. Very mellow and very strange, but much better than I had initially anticipated.

Anyone care to agree / disagree?

I've listened to it a few times and i love it. A nice varied mix with a lil' bit of everythig in it. The new Booka Shade tunes are nice and the John Carpenter cues in the mix are perfect. Also, the opener "A Different Kind Of Blue" from Passengers' "Original Soundtracks 1" is lovely, it reminded me i should listen some more to that album. :)

Yeah, the John Carpenter cuts are excellent. Loving most stuff on there, but the standouts for me are -

03 Cerrone / Ben Westbeech: "In the Smoke" / "Hang Around (Wahoo Dub Mix)"

05 Booka Shade: "Estoril"

09 Quarion: "Play Your Part"

11 Aphex Twin: "Alberto Balsam"

14 Brigitte Bardot: "Contact" [how jammin' is this track?!]

15 Booka Shade: "Numbers"

22 Richard Hawley: "Last Order"


The only thing I wasn't too keen on was 'The Streets' track, which I felt was a clumsy transition and just didn't belong...everything else was just right though.

Yeah, Estoril & Numbers are teh win!

Incredible. Just amazing. This is one of the compilations of the year for sure. Well crafted. Nice blend of modern electronica and oldies.
