5.0 out of 5 stars This is the first of many GREAT career moves for Anderson, March 24, 2000

Extremis is great. Mysterious, and honest about human beings inner thoughts when it comes to the subjects of passion and confusion. Gillian's soft mysterious voice captures the mood of this song and creates a wonderful preview to the remaining wonderful tracks. i highly DIS agree with the editorial review, and commend Anderson on this compilation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent concept, but spotty choices, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Future : A Journey Through The Electronic Underground - Compiled By Gillian Anderson (Audio CD)

I really admire Gillian for opening herself up to criticism by working on an album like this. Not every person in the spotlight is secure enough in their knowledge of a subject outside of their area of fame to contribute to it, and I feel that she has done well here. Most of the tracks are excellent, and I especially liked the Chemical Brothers and Orbit tracks (even though the Orbit one is on almost every techno compilation known to man). Extremis isn't very innovative, but it's well done, and her voice contributed nicely. However, several of the tracks felt like they were filler, and the Extremis remix was unnecessary. This would have been a better album if it had been limited to one disc.

This review is from: Future : A Journey Through The Electronic Underground - Compiled By Gillian Anderson (Audio CD)

This one was dropped on my desk by a friend. Didnt know it was Gillian Anderson on the first cut until I came out here to buy it. Very rightous. If you like Beramundy samplers or the techno cuts from 'Hackers' then this CD is definitely something you want!!
