4.0 out of 5 stars The best modern electronic compilation (so far), April 8, 2000
By 
This review is from: Machine Soul: An Odyssey Into Electronic Dance Music (Audio CD)
That's right, it's the best modern electronic compilation atpresent - i only hope that the next one is a whole heck of a lotbetter. Reading the liner notes, Rhino intended for this to be a 4 CD set, but (for reasons unknown) it was whittled down to only two. The compilation is an average overview for the uninititaed, but if you're a long-time collector/listener, chances are you have the first CD's cuts already in your collection. The second disc is really spotty - why are Fluke/Uberzone/BT even included? At least one drum 'n' bass/acid/Madchester tune could have been included instead. Better choice of tunes should have been made for the Chemical Brothers/Orb/Underworld/KLF. Anyhoo, i'd use this in my "Electronic Music 101" class, but i wouldn't base the course solely on this. i also recommend checking out _Early Modulations: Vintage Volts_ - a decent intro comp to pre-pre-Kraftwerk electronic music. Hopefully some Moby/Keoki/Crystal Methods fans will give this a listen...

5.0 out of 5 stars music from machine 2 man..., March 19, 2000
This review is from: Machine Soul: An Odyssey Into Electronic Dance Music (Audio CD)
it is good that a compilation exists like this-finally. techno compilations can be so spotty, but this is one that finally delivers. it's best for the novice who wants to have a place to start with this underappreciated genre. true, most of us already have these, but it's good to listen to in context. there is quite a bunch of stuff missing ('papua new guinea' from future sound of london is one of the prettiest songs made in any genre), some stuff is tired ('little fluffy clouds' again?) and wrong cuts appear ('numbers' and 'pocket calculator', or all of 'autobahn'-22 minutes! would have been better), not to mention missing subgenres like garage, jungle/drum and bass, and acid house. all in all, a good starting point. good history represented with 'cars','blue monday', and 'i feel love'.

2.0 out of 5 stars more of the same, October 27, 2001
This review is from: Machine Soul: An Odyssey Into Electronic Dance Music (Audio CD)
A surprisingly perceptive Amazon.com review gets it right: Andrew Weatherall's "Nine O'Clock Drop" is a far superior compilation of cutting edge late 70s/early 80s music. "Machine Soul" is a bunch of tracks, many individually good, with too many previously released on innumerable other compilations; as an "odyssey" it's a dud.
