As far as CD compilations go the concept is quite simple. Take a bunch of
tracks that share a common denominator and slap them on a disc, thereby
hopefully exposing the bands to a much greater audience than their own fan
base. Simply put I usually approach compilations with an odd mix of
apprehension and anticipation.
Pleasantly enough, PLASTIC COMPLIATION Vol. 6 from Nettwerk Productions
turned out to be a sparkling gem of "feel good" electronica. No angst, or
pity here.What you will find is some of the most state-of-the-art hard
dance and trance music. Cue the strobing lights, crack the light-sticks
and throw down your best moves, this is party music.
The well-known fan favorites are of course represented adequately with
tracks by the CHEMICAL BROTHERS, ANDY HUNTER, FATBOY SLIM, and LUKE
SLATER, but I found my attention drawn to the relative new comers like WAY
OUT WEST, TIMO MAAS, and, EVOLUTION (featuring Jayn Hanna).
As an additional bonus it appears that the mixes of the tracks selected
were rare and unique to this compilation only. The compilation was enough
to interest me in hearing what the original incaranations of these songs were.
Is that more than anyone should ask of a compilation?
