5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mix of Post Rock, November 4, 1999

By	John Dalton (Taipei, Taiwan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't understand what the last reviewer meant... what is time for if not to listen to music ? :) This is one of my favorite compilations with tracks in a wide variety of styles, from the downtempo electronic lounge sound of Razor to the nuttiness of Space Rant, a banging groove from Electric Company and sweet melancholy from Flotilla, and much more, nearly all the tracks are solid. If you're into alternative or electronic music and are looking for something different, get it!

3.0 out of 5 stars You'll only like this if you're really into instrumental, January 30, 1999

By A Customer

The only way you'll really get into this collection of "underground" music is if you've got a lot of time to listen to it. If you don't, then I suggest you look elsewhere.
