It's quite good but not amazing. A wide range of styles as you
mentioned. 3 downtempo tracks, 1 acidy type thing and 4 drum'n'bass
tracks of the more hard/dark variety (as opposed to the more jazzy
stuff normally mentioned on the list) but not too hard or dark (apart
from the sinister 'Dalek Tune' by Hempolics which is the best of the
jungle stuff here). Doesn't really contain the best stuff from the
label's output so far but it is worth investigating as it is quite an
eclectic collection of stuff.

If you can afford it though I would recommend buying it if only for
the Raw Deal track which is outstanding funky hip hop stuff and my
current most played track (does anyone have any spare copies of their
'Headless Horseman' E.P. that the are willing to sell? I will pay good
money for this.)

Colin.
