Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

When listening to Braindance, it's somewhat hard to believe that it has been 10 years since the inception of Rephlex Records but Richard D James and Grant Wilson-Claridge's legendary imprint is indeed the latest in a recent plethora of dance labels to reach its first decade. The pair choose to mark the occasion with a mid-price package, Braindance, which brings together back catalogue highlights from their impressive artistic array. The Gentle People open proceedings with the sublime "Journey" but it isn't long before the broken percussives and squealing analogues that have defined much of the output start to raise their head. Global Goon, Ovuka and the Railway Raver offer a rich emotive take while Squarepusher and Cylob bring the noise, the former ravaging "Psultan" by way of drum & bass beats while the latter lays down his inspired robot-voxed, post-pop "Rewind". With so much ground covered in the 16 tracks, all of the material boasts its own strengths though it is m-Ziq's "Swan Vesta" which stands out - bouncing wood block b lines and crazed atmospheres rising to through a rail slamming melodic to a spine crumbling crescendo. --Kingsley Marshall

5.0 out of 5 stars The future in so many ways, 15 Feb 2002

By	"firstkyne" - See all my reviews

Will you like this album? Well, it's one of the most forward looking albums in the genre in many respects. The first listen is not necessarily 'comfortable'... these peices grab your ear throughout, interrupt conversation. But if you want to know what the considerations are of those musicians are who lead the field in progressive, intelligent electronic music, then this is an absolute must. Royskopp, Avalanches, Zero 7, Goldfrapp... this is where their coming from, only earlier, dirtier and harder. We've had the 70's revival, the 80's revival (and some of that revivals influence can be heard here), but this is really about the rivival of certain recording qualities. Here you have tunes programmed using the latest sound crunching computers, but with the warm, familiar, analogue quality of bootleg electro tapes, or white label garage house circa '88. At other times the production is sharp and crisp and glossy as a Prince ballad, but somehow... wrong. In all the right ways. Instruments and samples are evocative like the words chosen by a poet, but in music -unlike writing- musicians have the extra dimension of process: the process by which the sound was captured. Scratchy records were the obvious way for trip-hop and rap artists to add a throw-away or appropriated feel to their music, but this is the next level. When begin to appropriate music from 5 years ago, we know our sound 'palette' is reaching it's limits. This album makes you realise how pop will eat itself.
And it's very cool. This is what I imagine the meat and potatoes of Aphex Twin's record collection to consist of. Drop any number of theses tracks into your mix. This is wise, wise music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute bargain CD from those Rephlex bods, 7 Oct 2004

By	M. Johnson "lightbulb1970" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have yet to hear a Rephlex album that I don't like, and this is no exception; Right from the outset it has you mesmerised... I won't bore you by religiously talking you though each track (there're 16 little gems included on this compilation), suffice to say that each track is completely different from the one preceding it. Your mind tends to urge the tracks along impatiently as you wonder in ore as to what's going to happen next... A lot of the tracks comprise of complex rhythms which dance like over-excited monkeys playing football with hallucinating hippos, whilst a sparse eerie synth drones on like a post apocalyptic backdrop. Others have squelching squidgy fart noises poking through wobbling noise carpets... In any case, this is electronic experimentation at its best, and (thankfully) it is too freaky 'n' beefy to neatly fit into any commercial (or otherwise) pigeon hole. If you don't already own this CD, I thoroughly recommend that you immediately go out and spend your hard earned cash and buy a copy, get back home, stick it in the old CD player, whack up the volume, sit back on your sofa and close your eyes... If you don't get maximum fulfilment out of the experience, well then you are most likely dead, or at the very least dieing and I would suggest that you seek medical advice immediately!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bargin introduction to very interesting label, 11 April 2001

By	A. R. Richards "broken_sync" (uk) - See all my reviews

Braindance is the label set up in part by the Aphex Twin and this compilation celebrates its 100th release. It contains a massive range of electronic music which will appeal to music fans who like electronic music of a more left field nature. Particularly fans of Kid 606, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada etc.

Stand out tracks on this are, Mu-Zic's, Vibert Simmonds and The Gentle People. There is a broad variety of styles of electronic gubbins and should have something to interest most folk.
