I could be thinking of the wrong CD but I never noticed that it was
continually mixed. Along with the Mr.Fingers song, I also really
enjoyed the opening track by Freakpower, sugarlump, I think. Its a
uptempo, laid back (if that makes sense) insparsed with light manical
laughter and an annoucer type saying "this is a man in the throws of an
lsd trip" or something like that. And then there's a couple other slow,
bassful tracks from Takemurea and Bomb the Bass, also something off the
Nightmares on Wax album Smoker's Delight I particulary liked. Overall,
it seems to be a very solid compliation without anything too
outstanding.
