Anyone who knows a little of the life of Stuart Price won't have been expecing a release simply intended to pass quietly into Fabric's back catalogue. Price always manages to pull of something at least notable, at most stunningly clever. And so it is here: The mix from the excellent Royksopp 'Remind Me' remix into Strauss's ASZ (is it just me or does anyone else detract a sense of glee when DJs acknowledge the original music masters?) and then into Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams, is teriffic.
In fact the majority of this set is top draw, with the Royksopp edit and Crazy P***s's Give it Up the picks, whilst the remix of Steve Miller Band's 'Abracadabra' is the pic of the frequent retro scatterings.
The ending, though, is a shame. What some may praise as diversity is out of place and unwelcome, and an attempt to cram as many styles into this (1-CD) set as possible. Moreover, although I'm no musical pigeon-holer - I collect everything from Russian master Dmitry Shostakovich to prog house maestro Anthony Pappa - I'm not into punk/indie/rock, so its arrival at the end of a disco/electro release was disappointing. A top CD, but it ends at track 17 for me.

Wow! the first time i played this mix i listened to the whole CD in one go, usually i get bored with tracks and start to flick through them but with this i couldnt help but listen to the lot!
The 80's presence is obvious but in a very cool funky way, Lu cont got it just right and tracks such as Seppin', Aracdabera and Wordy Rapinghood to name but a few.
Overall, a rollercoaster of up and down funk with catchy melodies thats just soo danceable!

The 80's influenece is clear on this mix as Jacques Lu Cont takes from tracks by Devo, the Eurythmics and 'Abracadabra' by the Steve Millar Band, and believe it or not The Pixies!!! Although this is not as seemless as you might expect from such a talented guy, it is at times compelling listening, with kilos of funk, melody and emotion. Lu Cont fans will not be disappointed.

Eclectic
What can I say, Jacques Lu Cont comes up with a quality mix again. As you would expect it is heavily influenced by electro, but with the bouncy dance feel of this century. Read more
