4.0 out of 5 stars "The DFA took my Baby Away", June 21, 2005

The DFA are James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy. Officially they are the coolest producers, have the coolest roster and have the coolest sounds. The proof is here in this lovingly compiled 3-CD boxset. Beware though, "Compilation #2" is not just a label sampler. It is a statement of the music of today and tomorrow.
You'll soon figure this out during the first track, `Casual Friday' by Black Leotard Front. It starts out all serious, then all of a sudden it descends into people speaking French like a teach yourself cassette. You just know that there is greatness in mixing the sublime with the ridiculous. Elsewhere in this generous offering we get: The Slits-y `Punk of Joy', The electronically tribal (dont ask) `Soundscapes of Black Dice' and the ancestors of the sound of the DFA, Liquid Liquid make an appearance with `Bellhead' (and trust me they still know how to make a bodypopping tune). The Rapture also contribute a rare (and schizophrenic) b-side `Alabama Chrome'. The amazing thing is that THESE ARE JUST THE FIRST TWO CDS!!!!!!!. The third has the majority of the previous tracks all rolled into one super quality mix.
Hopefully this is the future of music and music's future. Play it at your party and you'll make everyone all around the block jealous. This is not an accessory but a necessity!

What a fantastic set. 3 disks of quality. There seems to be a bit more variety in this compared to the #1 compilation. It has everything you'd expect from these guys, but also some highly tripped out stuff I wasn't expecting. Go ahead and buy it, it's a good pick.
