Jungle, trip-hop, and psyhouse are the main styles of this compilation,
with the biggest names appearing on it being those of Cujo (Amon
Tobin’s first project), Tosca, and Francis Bebey.
An atmosphere of chill grooves with some clever sample play and an expansive percussive range pervades the collection, with drum’n’bass flavors evident but rarely taking control for more than a few measures.
Well-handled momentum and track positioning keeps the flow moving smoothly through the hour or so of the eleven tracks, sliding into and out of the higher energy portions without a stumble. There are a few ear-worms (with Trankilou’s “Chicago Babe” probably taking top honors in that regard), and while most of the artists included have few releases to their name, all of the picks that made it are high-quality.
