Haven't pulled out this old Deconstruction comp for a while, but what a great job they did of this... disc 1 is so awesome - perfect tracklisting, perfect mixing, the sound quality suffers a bit from some obviously time-tested vinyl transfers, but even in headphones it's perfectly listenable, especially the dirty talk -> confusion/sunshine
and peech boys -> gwen guthrie transitions. and the whole dirty italo electro to chicago acid transformation is really brilliant.

What makes this set stand out for me: unlike most mix CDs linked with clubs, this one contains the stuff which they actually used to play, without having it all fed through some sort of retrospective-cool-filter. CD1 in particular tells the story as it was... none of this 1988 Year Zero nonsense here, thank goodness.

Ooooh, I have to break mine out - the first two discs are really amazing, but my outer sleeve fell apart. The design is really excellent as are the extensive liner notes.
