Techno CD choices January 1998

January 1998:

MTV's "AMP" Compilation

The pocket guide to techno. The best songs from the best groups!

BT "IMA" disc 1

Brian Transeau makes great spacey, yet danceable, music with nice hooks. "IMA" is his first release.

"Hackers" soundtrack

My first techno album...still gets put back into the player every 2 months or so. I like all the even-numbered songs! And #7. This CD put me onto Underworld, Orbital and the Stereo MCs. And put me off Prodigy!

"Hackers 2" soundtrack

"Music from and inspired by the movie". Just got this. Quite good, especially cuts 3 thru 9. The remix of Bowie's "Little Wonder" is fabulous.

Moby "I like to score"

I didn't expect to like this, since I hated the first Moby I'd heard. But this has some really excellent pieces, all stuff he's done for movies. "Novio", "James Bond Theme", and the pieces he did for "Heat" (cuts 8 and 9) are the best.
