Customer Reviews

Best in the series!5
Start here. The others are great to have but this one is the most valuable. Save this one in a house fire.

Avoid. There are better, more enjoyable anthologies.1
Avoid this CD.
Historically it is accurate and the selections are representative and important. The quality of the recordings are very good.
However, I did not find any of the tracks enjoyable, or anything I would want to listen to again, or explore further. This is not the case with OHM- The Early Gurus of Electronic Music for example. I listen to the OHM CD regularly and have expanded my appreciation and knowledge of this music, which I love, from the selections in the OHM collection.
I will be selling these CD's immediately, or using them as coasters.

Legal Stuff Apart...5
To understand this review, take a look at the reviews of the other volumes in this series, particularly Vol. 4...
Some of the music on this series is so weird and beautiful that the composers should be grateful that it is released here. They should think of this series as a sampler which might atract us, the general public, into further investigation of their work, which we most probably would have never had the chance to hear or even become aware of its existence nor of that of the composers/artists. Don't be so greedy... for I believe you have been done a favor. The same goes for the other volumes of this series. TWO THUMBS UP!
