I've had this for a while. I thought I'd post my 2 cents. First off it doesn't deserve the high rating they gave it but with the eighties currently being the hottest thing since the seventies (or was it the sixties?) I suppose they felt obliged. However, "Get on up and do it again" by Suzy Q is almost worth the cost of the disk. It's the catchiest dance tune I ever heard. It is dangerously catchy. I lost hours of sleep in August because it was running through my head for weeks. There are some other ace tracks that I won't mention because I'm lazy and the beer is going to my head. The rest of the disk isn't as good but listened to with an open mind it's interesting and gives you a clue where Autechre got some of their ideas, and if so why their stuff still has a groove even when it's irrepressibly weird. I'd give it 5.5/10 because some of the tracks make my skin crawl they're so fucking bad. |

a catchy nu-disco dance tune is "Starlight" by Superman Lovers |

Mantronix strikes me as lame. King of the Beats is a shocking misnomer. Pfft! |

well, he did deserve that title at the time....but yeah, time hasn't been that kind to him... which I guess is what you'd expect with dance music...what's cutting edge one minute is passe the next; that constant invention of the new is what keeps it fresh.... |
