This bargain sampler from Reohlex, celebrating 10 years of braindance is one of the record labels best relelases. Squarepusher, bogdan raczynski, cylob, mu-ziq, ovuca, DMX crew. It really is a fantastic lineup. Buy it now.

Although pretty much all of the material on this disc has been previously released (although some are out of print), it is still an excellent buy. Me being a longtime rephlex fan, I jumped at the chance to purchase this cd, and I am not disappointed. All the tracks here are braindance and rephlex at its best. If you are a fan of interesting experimental electronic music such as aphex twin, Cylob, and D'Arcangelo, then this cd will not leave you disappointed.

I have yet to hear a Rephlex album that I don't like, and this is no exception; Right from the outset it has you mesmerised... I won't bore you by religiously talking you though each track (there're 16 little gems included on this compilation), suffice to say that each track is completely different from the one preceding it. Your mind tends to urge the tracks along impatiently as you wonder in ore as to what's going to happen next... A lot of the tracks comprise of complex rhythms which dance like over-excited monkeys playing football with hallucinating hippos, whilst a sparse eerie synth drones on like a post apocalyptic backdrop. Others have squelching squidgy fart noises poking through wobbling noise carpets... In any case, this is electronic experimentation at its best, and (thankfully) it is too freaky 'n' beefy to neatly fit into any commercial (or otherwise) pigeon hole. If you don't already own this CD, I thoroughly recommend that you immediately go out and spend your hard earned cash and buy a copy, get back home, stick it in the old CD player, whack up the volume, sit back on your sofa and close your eyes... If you don't get maximum fulfilment out of the experience, well then you are most likely dead, or at the very least dieing and I would suggest that you seek medical advice immediately!
