Jack Dangers is good at remixes. Good enough that almost any musician could benefit from a remix by Dangers. Just the same, I was surprised by my reaction to some of the tracks on this album. Let's just say that remixes of more well-known songs weren't necessarily better than remixes of more obscure songs. His best stuff takes indie and obscure material and blows it sky-high with Meat-Beat style synths, bass and beats. This may all sound a bit willy-nilly, so let me say this-- yes, fans of Jack Dangers and Meat Beat Manifesto are sure to enjoy this album.

This cd really suprised me. I think this was only the second release by Dangers under anything else but MBM and it was a mixed set of OTHER artists' stuff. It was around the same time Crystal Method produced Community Service which I really liked as well so I gave it a shot. It starts off decent but by track 4 the album blends very well together. When I first heard the cd, though, it was at a warehouse music which is now closed but the guy there was awesome and would play the goods on release dates. I heard the Deepsky track on the PA and knew instantly it was MBM but also knew instantly it was Stargazer and I knew the whole cd would own. Which it does. Its so hard to find now, what's up with that? For the first year of its release it was overstocked... not it doesn't even exist in inventories or records anywhere. Shame. Enjoy!
