Another one of those Mojo comps that never made it out of the shrinkwrap from an issue purchased 13 years ago.  This one was compiled by Daniel Miller, founder of the label Mute.  Since Mute is one of the premier underground electronic labels of the UK, with an essential vision, one could be comforted in knowing that your hour ahead of you is in good hands.

Throbbing Gristle's greatest track, "Hamburger Lady" is here as Can, Cabaret Voltaire, NON, DAF, Nitzer Ebb and Fad Gadget for old standbys.  The "future" is represented by LCD Soundsystem and established popular acts like Daft Punk and Moby. That leaves us with a bunch of 90's acts like Add N To (X) which I bought and Plastikman, Renegade Soundwave, Photek and Pan Sonic which I didn't.

Sort of like listening to a good DJ that likes this type of stuff exclusively, put together in a way that never transcends the background.

Really nothing here to turn off.
