Customer Reviews:

a compilation of great importance tp the techno fraternity.......2000-11-21

plus 8 is one of the most influential and consistent pure techno labels around, and this 2 cd compilation is a summation of the label's conceptual achievements and pure, visceral dancefloor kicks.

hawtin and acquaviva's seminal 'spastik' remains the vital blueprint for the sheffield bleep scene, and tracks like 'dimension intrusion' and 'f.u.2' both by f.u.s.e., define both the detroit sound and many future UR releases.

however, it has to be said that to the latecomer, (got to get a bit of hierarchy in here!!) some of the earlier plus 8 material may sound a little demented or rudimentary.

but in the end, no outsider could hope for a better introduction to the beauty of purist techno. to the already initiated, it's a timely reminder of how the undrground has progressed, and a chance to update all those scratched and worn 12s for two very fine cds.

Evolution in Electronica.......2000-11-15

This version of Plus 8 Classics is the Novamute version which is slightly different than the US domestic release. It is a double Cd with vol. 1 and vol. 2, while the US release is in three seperate CD issues. I looked up the track differences, and it there are 7 tracks on this issue not found on the 3 US volumes. This music itself on this issue is fantastic. Although I already have both the Plastikman cuts, the other stuff I had not heard before. Being a fan of Kenny Larkin and Ken Ishii (Utu), it is nice to hear material from them. Some of the standout stuff comes from Speedy J, especially the Patterns Remix track. very intense but sublime. I am pretty sure that this is not on any of the US issues, so if you want some more Plus 8 material, this is one place you can find it.
