2 years ago australian based record label/party people, modular, released a 2 cd set that collated all manner of cool indie records that had a haircut electro’d up backbone.
now in 2007 they have sorted out the sequel, originally named leave them all behind 2.
naturally, there are a lot of the usual, but great, suspects spread over the tracklisting involving a fair chunk of folks from the other cool indie-dance crossover setups, and plenty of modulars own people involved, but when the results are as dynamic and wonderful as the mstrkrft remix of wolfmother then you won’t hear any complaining from me.
this compilation sounds great when rocking the mobile music player, and if you’re not feeling one particular groove, then it’s not too long before the mood changes.
so if the blistering digital excess of justice wears you down, hang on as its not long before the superb electro-sheen of cut copy is brought in to soothe the nerves, prior to the chucklesome/nighmare drug induced scenario that is laid out by ali love in all its punk-pop glory.
cd 1 is all mixed up but in a fairly straightforward beatmatching manner, and cd2 is a clean individual track collection, some of which are on the mix cd, and some are not.
jam packed with tracks that will probably sound dated in a few years, but until then, this is a great way to catch up on whats making beautiful young people dance and sweat.
