Current Techno CDs, April 1998

Techno CD choices April 1998

April 1998:

Propellerheads "Bang On"

Excellent, first American release (an EP) from "The Next Chemical Brothers". This makes me psyched for their first LP, due here in the US any day.

Bentley Rhythm Ace

Strong beat, strange segues. really strange song titles (Let There Be Flutes, Spy Who Loved Moose). Trying to decide how much I like it, but it grows on me with each additional listen.

Big Rock'n Beats compilation

Decent big beat compilation featuring Fatboy Slim, Expansion Union, Meat Beat Manifesto, etc. CD cover is annoyingly hard to read, so I can never tell what I'm listening to.

"Digital Empire" compilation, disc 1

Outstanding compilation. From K-Tel!. Disc 1 has great cuts by Propellerheads, DubTribe Sound System, Crystal Method, Keoki, Mark Verbos, Fluke and more. Skip track 1, the obligatory crappy Prodigy song.

"Digital Empire" compilation, disc 2

This 2 CD set was a great pick up! Disc 2 has nice tracks from Chem Bros, Atomic Babies, Electric Skychurch, Headrillaz, BT, Derrick May and more.
