Music for the Jilted Generation
Artist: The Prodigy
Community Score: 8.55

The Prodigy's response to the sweeping legislation and crackdown on raves contained in 1994's Criminal Justice Bill is an effective statement of intent. Pure sonic terrorism, Music for the Jilted Generation employs the same rave energy that charged their debut, Experience, up the charts in Britain, but yokes it to a cause other than massive drug...

Firestarter - UK
Artist: The Prodigy
Born Slippy - US 3 TRACKS
Artist: Underworld
Community Score: 6.60
DJ-Kicks
Artist: Kruder & Dorfmeister
Community Score: 8.60

Though it's a close race, Kruder & Dorfmeister make for better DJs than producers, as witnessed by their volume in the DJ-Kicks series. Beginning with downbeat trip-hop including Herbaliser, Statik Sound System, and Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister flow through jazzy drum'n'bass (with Aquasky and JMJ & Flytronix) and techno (with...

Promised Land, Vol. 1
Artist: LTJ Bukem
Community Score: 10.00

A double-disc collection of L.T.J Bukem's mixing talents, Promised Land, Vol. 1 includes fewer items from his own Looking Good/Good Looking labels, and the lack of intelligent jungle shifts the focus to harder, darker and earlier tracks than are featured on his Logical Progression and Mixmag compilations. The mixing is excellent throughout. ~... Read More

Intended for and in response to the film In the Name of Father, Irishman Holmes recorded "No Man's Land"; the B-sides explore trip-hop and electro. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide Read More

The Best of Strange Cargos
Artist: William Orbit
Community Score: 3.00

Compiling tracks from his three Strange Cargo albums (with recordings dating from 1984 to 1994), William Orbit displays a range of recording styles, drifting from the ambient-pop of "Water from a Vine Leaf" with Beth Orton to recordings more obsessed with trance and world rhythms. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide Read More

This Film's Crap, Let's Slash the Seats
Artist: David Holmes

It's important when encountering this album for the first time to think of it as a dry run for film soundtracking rather than as a straight-up techno effort -- because viewed through the latter lens, This Film's Crap is actually not much. Thus the lengthy opener "No Man's Land," opening with pure Third Man/Spy Who Came in From the Cold dynamics... Read More

Exit Planet Dust
Artist: The Chemical Brothers
Community Score: 7.85

The former Dust Brothers make oblique reference to litigation averted on their debut full-length. The Chemical Brothers' sound is big on bombast, replete with screeching guitar samples and lots of sirens and screaming divas. A breakthrough album of sorts, Exit Planet Dust was, upon its release, one of the few European post-techno albums to make... Read More
