i guess i'll mini-review this since no one else seems to have it. first i should say i think 'exidy tours' is phenomenal, in my top dozen or so all-time electronic records. + i'm a rephlex fan, so i expected a lot from this. volume one is cohesive as an album, but also extremely varied, and it contains andy's best and worst material. it's an hour long; 25 minutes or so is boring or unlistenable to me (though some here will probably like it). i can't really say the album is any good before track 6 or seven. there's just waay too many drums and hardly any melody. it sounds like horrible hardcore. the second half though is good to truly incredible, really amazing stuff the likes of which i've never heard from any artist. as a whole, the record has a 'sound,' the mood/style evolves from track to track, and various motifs recur through multiple songs. track-by-track: steve-opener is a one minute throwaway. except for this track there's very little singing thankfully (mindgun, anybody?) jam jarre-the standout of the first half. glitchy, thuddy rhythms and melodic echoes carry it. a very nice tune. hardcore raver-suffers badly from squarepusheritis plenger-the brief nintendo melody that appears almost 4 minutes in does very little to save this dismal track. i found it annoying; probably the worst track on the record here we gowowowo (a.k.a. sample #2 from boomkat)- another jungly, thuddy mess. i hate this one too toxico gang: although this song kinda bridges the crap tunes before with the good ones after, i find it really enjoyable. finally get some tasty ceephax acid lines swimming in here, nice subtle melodies. good one texaco gang (boomkat sample 3): best acid on the record! a great synth part comes in as the drums completely drop out at about 4’. the album comes together for me at this point. tx highway- floating synth ambience and icy blips echo over very repetitive but not unpleasant drumming that defies description. a really nice tune |

tx jammer- mid-tempo tune that has a great melody and bass part, and the drum patterns go in and out of sync which is nice. brings it back together just when he's getting too far off the path. solid dreamer: boomkat sample 1/if you've heard the sample, imagine that for 5 1/2 minutes. a great tune, it doesn't really go anywhere but i don't mind at all last exit to fambridge: silly and catchy in that ceephax way. i like this one summer frosby- the longest and BY FAR the best track on this record. i can only hope that volume two picks up where this one left off.. there you go |

Volume was a great series of compilation albums or semiregular magazine, whichever way you look at it. Volume 8 is the standing favourite |
