A rare treat worthy of your purchase.......2002-01-23
First off: There are 3 discs in this cd, and almost 4 hours of music. At the time that I'm writing this, there is no indication in this listing that there are multiple discs in this cd. I have submitted this info to Amazon, however... it will probably be updated soon.
Secondly: One whole disc is comprised of a remix scratch-fest by DJ Food himself. The first track listed "DJ Food's Sonic Soup" actually comprises 11 tracks on an entire cd.
Thirdly (and most importantly): This is some GREAT stuff!
MLO (think.... "Mellow"!) consists of Englishman Jonathon Tye and Australian Peter Smith. They formed in the mid-90's, released a couple of EPs and then released the opus before you: Plastic Apple. Plastic Apple is centered in "ambient techno", a nice catch-all that can encompass the fact that some of these tracks are trance-ish bootyshakers, and some are ambient gems along the lines of the best Pete Namlook FAX releases.
The 3rd cd comprises the album within the album: "010101", 13 tracks (including 2 hidden tracks) of yummy electronics. The 2nd cd contains 8 tracks from "010101" remixed by various folks (among them Dave Angel, Manasseh, Boymerang and mlo themselves) plus an extra non-album track. As mentioned above, the first cd features DJ Food as he takes tracks from the 2 previous cds, slaps them on turntables and does whatever the hell he feels like with them.
The cd (at least the one *I* have) is a UK import, housed in a gatefold cardboard sleeve, fastened with velcro.
I'll admit that I personally found this cd for about two-thirds the price that Amazon is selling it for, but based on the quality of music here, and the AMOUNT of music, Amazon's price is actually quite fair. AND, since I was under the impression that this cd was VERY out of print, you may want to pick it up NOW while you still can!
