There are some real turkeys in this collection. Nicholas Blincoe's 'Ardwick Green' should be recommended as an NHS sedative. It is tedious to say the least. The stand out contributions are Dean Cavanagh's 'Mile High Meltdown' which is genuinely funny and twisted and Irvine Welsh's 'State of The Party'. These two are only ones who can possibly claim to be writers. Well worth buying for Dean Cavanagh's contribution alone.

A tepid and sad collection of stories. With the exception of White Burger Danny. A short "Epic" that goes as close as possible to summing up the scene as it was back in the late 80's. Irvine Welsh's State of the Party rates quite well, but this had already been serialised in full in Sky? Magazine.

A Mixed House 8 Jan 2000
By A. Ross - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ostensibly compiled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Acid House, this anthology of 19 stories bills itself as "capturing the hedonistic spirit of the last decade." Mixed in with well known (Irvine Welsh, Alan Warner, Alex Garland, Douglas Rushkoff) are some interesting lesser-known writers, although it should be noted that not a single female voice is represented. Nicholas Blincoe's leadoff story, "Ardwick Green" is apt as it chattily recounts the starting of a small club out in the boonies. Welsh's "The State of the Party" feels a bit dashed off and is a bit disappointing. Gavin Hill's "White Burger Danny" is a nice tale emblematic story about a former soccer thug turned mellow by the new acid house scene. A number of the stories are fairly bland in a stream of consciousness imitating acid kind of way which doesn't do much for me. Jonathon Brook's "Sangria" crosses over into the club owner's side of the street where everything revolves around the money to be made off the kids. Jeff Noon's "DJNA" puts an odd sci-fi spin on the whole scene, which kinda works while Dean Cavanaugh's "Mile High Meltdown" tale of DJ's spinning on an airplane is quite funny. Alex Garland's "Blink and You Miss It" is only tangentially related to the theme and is more of a riff on his familiar themes of Westerners adrift in the Third World. All in all, very mixed in quality and tone.

Are you Techno ? 20 May 2000
By "kortex3" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Directed by Sarah Champion, this anthology of short stories is dedicated to the ten first years of Techno movement. 19 British writers such as Irvin Welsh, Gavin Hills, Jonathan Brook, Jeff Noon, Alex Garland or Simon Lewis, have been brought together to touch on this movement which deeply touched British society. Sometimes fun, sometimes dramatic, each story is a jewel of modernism.
