It's a funny one, for sure. There's plenty of interesting stuff in there but a lot of it is just... interesting. It's all of the Wire-y post-Bailey improv and electronic/ sound-art/ found sound/ sound-walks type thing. The problem is that for every Aki Onda there's a Haco. It doesn't really matter which of those I actually like (Haco), and I think that's sort of the point. You get it, you download some things, you're entirely turned off by some of it, and then you get a record like Bugscape (in my case) which, in spite of being made from the most 'arty' of viewpoints, is an incredibly good record. The compilations kind of taper off after 2004. And I'm very, very pissed off with reading about fucking Taku Sugimoto being 'ultra-radical' when he is, in fact, just shite.
