REVIEWS :

Damn damn DAMN this is a nice compilation. Every single track is an absolute fucking winner. EEG borrowed it and played about 4 tracks in the ambient tent at the SF Pearl Jam show. It went over quite well (given that it was too loud to hear Tetsu or anything truly ambient there). I extra fond of the track from Sub Dub, and I've since been clued their other 12" (which are wonderful). The Automaton track is by Bill Laswell, and he does some excellent stuff of his own. The Spectre and Roots Control tracks are on full albums in this page. If you can find this album, which is NYC based, get it while it's still hot. Izza classic!
