Format:Audio CD
Brilliant mix CD that encapsulates the Subclub's Optimo night rather well if you've been lucky enough hear one of Twitch and Wilkes more techno focused sets.
Well mixed selection of chunky R&S classics that I'd recommend to any fans of the label or Optimo night (RiP).

If you're looking for an introduction to R&S Records, this is probably not the place to start - instead head straight for R&S Presents: In Order to Dance.
But if you're already well acquainted with the label this may be something you want to add to your collection.
If you've purchased any of Optimo's previous mixes - How to Kill the DJ, Pt. 2 or The Sub Club - 20 Years Underground - this is mixed in exactly the same "mash-up" style: loads of tracks, short snippets - "edit" is the operative word here - not really to this reviewer's taste. Also the beats seem to take precedence over the tunes. However the overall effect does at least serve to update the R&S sound and prevent this from being an entirely retro exercise.
Fans of this music from "back in the day" will, I think, be particularly interested to read Twitch's sleevenotes which are written from a refreshingly Scottish point of view - recounting record-buying expeditions in central Scotland (I expect I must have brushed passed him at some point - maybe in the original Fopp in Cockburn Street which in the early 90s I remember displayed R&S 12"s floor to ceiling) and nights at Pure. The strength of the Scotland's support for techno music is frequently overlooked so it's nice to see it getting some recognition here.
Incidentally, I know you shouldn't judge a record by its cover but top marks for the artwork.
Overall though, more Alfa Romeo than Ferrari.
