Best Of Techno - Various Artists

Advantages: quite relaxing and catchy tunes
Disadvantages: few monotonous tracks

...1991 -2008...whenever the 90's is mentioned cheesy and over the top comes to mind. but dont knock it till you try it. i saw this cd advertised on tv with only 3 or 4 tracks being played. i assumed that they had picked the best songs to advertise and the rest of the cd tracks would be very boring or perhaps monotonous. however this wasnt the case when i decided to buy it and give it a try. various songs were certainly relaxing and loved most of the track. my favourite track without a doubt is "clubbed to death by rob dougan". such a good tune. i always thought of ministry of sound as dance and techno but this cd was quite "chilling" and i havnt stopped listening to it- skipping the few annoying tracks of course!...

Advantages: Badassss electro
Disadvantages: Might hurt yourself bodypoppin

...You can not get this album anymore.I've tried!Its like Carl Cox Fantasia,gold dust!If you like Dave Clarke's electro CD on World Service,then you will love this.Contrary to what people insist on telling me,technically,Dave Clarke is not the best dj.But its the songs he chooses and finds which make him one of the best.I've seen him live four times and he didn't play an electro set,just techno,but he was still brill.Only real big names on this are Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince but that's not important cause it's superb.Ive also got X-Mix Electroboogie by Dave and its similar but still excellent and worth the money if you're bored of straight techno!!Its got a silver cover with a wee spaceship on it,so if you see it sell it to me!!!...

Advantages: Vibeful, pulsing, banging techno
Disadvantages: Not if you don't like electronica :)

...Thumping, pulsing and free flowing, Wipeout 2097: The Soundtrack is a collection of big names (along with some you may well not have heard of) with tracks ranging from drum 'n' bass, ambient through to frenetic hyper dance, all grouped together under the heading "electronica". Confused? I thought you might be, you poor little chart-fed things, you... If you really don't like electronic music, techno et al, I can't exactly say you'll enjoy this :P But for the rest of you, a high voltage dance experience awaits... My favourite track: "Atom Bomb" by Fluke..a dark, pulsating stylish thriller, also comes armed with a great vibe.... Read review
