This so far is my favorite of these anthology editions.
Of course the others were ten out of tens as well - how could it be elsewise with zombie rave mega smashers like "xtc express" or "purple moon"?
But this one has the hard to find, "lesser known" nuggets and, wow, there is some good and heavy stuff there.
Most importantly, for me, "Time Machine", a b-side he did is his Reign disguise - a long time ago.
And when I say "b-side" I mean it, yes, this "track" *is* the entire b-side, and no, it's a single track.
The b-side consists of three micro-tracks that are seamlessly mixed into a whole, already on the vinyl (read more about that here). A genius idea.
So it's nice non-vinyl-ears get to hear this thing too, now!
In other notes, "Face Down *** Up" get's its first "official" release with this one.
The Blue sun sees the light of day again - this track is kinda like a precursor to "Purple Moon" (in my opinion), just as brilliant. "Understand" is the flip side to Purple Moon - still gives me the chills.
And then... the final track... "Destination - Nowhere"...
A pure, beatless track, just doom-synths... the ost for nightmares... or dreams?
Just perfect!
