3.0 out of 5 stars Classic electronic music, October 7, 2003

Starting in the early 90's in England, was the birth of modern electronic dance music, as captured by this series 140 BMP+. These songs are all proto jungle, trance, rave, house, hardcore, etc. Some incredible, some hilarious, these songs will sound dated, but no less inventive and pioneering. Although this is not the strongest entry in the series, it is worth it for Omni's Mystic Stepper if you dont have it anywhere else.

I love this album. I remember when we first got it, back in 1992 or 1993, some time around then. I blew our minds. This was before electronica was really separated into lots of different genres. It was just Techno. Anyway, from the first track, we knew that we were listening to something different. That would be "The Joint". I still love that track to this day. Mostly, this album has good, but not great stuff, but at the time, Jungle wasn't even on the radar, and it was so new and fresh sounding. "Lords of the Null Lines" and "Outta Hand" are stand outs as well. Really the only tracks that I could do without are "The Chopper" and "Unity in Dub" but it's really not like they are that bad, but not good either. Average. Overall, I say this is a solid buy if you like that era of electronic music. I think it's a must have, along with Kickin' Mental Detergent Vol. 1, Zoo Rave Vol 1, and Techno Rave Phase 1 (although that album has a few stinkers). Great album that I listen to to this day.
