the inception of Rephlex Records but Richard D James and Grant Wilson-Claridge's legendary imprint is indeed the latest in a recent plethora of dance labels to reach its first decade. The pair choose to mark the occasion with a mid-price package,Braindance, which brings together back catalogue highlights from their impressive artistic array. The Gentle People open proceedings with the sublime "Journey" but it isn't long before the broken percussives and squealing analogues that have defined much of the output start to raise their head. Global Goon, Ovuka and the Railway Raver offer a rich emotive take while Squarepusher and Cylob bring the noise, the former ravaging "Psultan" by way of drum&bass beats while the latter lays down his inspired robot-voxed, post-pop "Rewind". With so much ground covered in the 16 tracks, all of the material boasts its own strengths though it is m-Ziq's "Swan Vesta" which stands out - bouncing wood block b lines and crazed atmospheres rising to through a rail slamming melodic to a spine crumbling crescendo. --Kingsley Marshall

Braindance Coincidence (various artists) is a collection of tracks from artist that are on Aphex Twins record label Rephlex. Aphex twin is probably the UK's most well known electronic musician, and these tracks follow in his footsteps. The tracks play on the idea of electronic sound and what can be done with it and so dont really follow a particular genre. There are styles taken from drum and bass, trance, dub, but they are fitted into the Rephlex mould which is generally described as being 'Glitchy, atmospheric, deep and mad'. If you are interested in and enjoy electronic music you will absolutely love this. It is filled to the brim with tracks, some which sound like they have been made using modern equipment, some which sound slightly older, but they all have that same feeling of spaced out electronica. Tracks like Cylobs 'Rewind' (which contains a robotic voice rapping about rewinding tracks back to the beginning because they are so good) and Squarepushers remix of Chaos AD's 'Psultan' take you into the hyper regions of synthed out drum and bass. Overall it is an electronic music lovers dream come true.
Album Notes: Compilation producers: Grant Wilson-Claridge, Richard D. James.
Album Reviews: NME (3/31/01, p.32) - 8 out of 10 - "...A perfect starting point for anyone wishing to become more closely acquainted with Rephlex's unique musical armoury....In the absence of a newAphex record, it's an opportunity you shouldn'y miss."
