There's something about it that suggests a healthiness and frenetic side to the scene at the moment, like could artists really be prolific enough if they were releasing all individual singles and not popping up as remixers everywhere? It really allows for an individual sound to emerge, it's a weird phenomenon of the electro-house explosion, though perhaps there are parallels with other points in history or genres, dancehall even?

it's strange to think that darkdancer still fits in with the sort of music around now, even though it was released around 10 years ago. I'd never thought that it would be a CD that still gets really great reaction when I dj.
It wasn't that much of a success around the time of the release was it?

Everything else = amazing. Including the Killers mix.

Mixes for Placebo and Mekon a bit phoned in, but that's all I got so far.
Paper Faces is collaborative, at least according to an mp3 I got - Stuart + 1 Zoot Woman.

didn't seem to be simply an issue of whether you liked the music or not way back 10 minutes ago.

Wall of Sound is surely an ailing untrendy label by now, I think the project was quite light-hearted and never really claiming to be hardcore dancehall, it is called "Two Culture Clash" and to be honest I think the result is just a quirky and slightly odd mash up of some fairly incongruous sounds.
I don't rate the record very highly, alot of it was just boring for me. But I did enjoy one of the Jacques tracks and I thought the Jon Carter one was ok too, to be honest. The Jacques one with the male vocalist fits the quirkiness I mentioned above, it sounded like one of his own productions really.
I don't see the record as greatly cynical or sinister though, most of it sounds like a fairly off the cuff partyish project. I didn't see it reviewed as "real dancehall" either but if it was I can understand how that'd be annoying.

"The ideals and vision of this project is to assimilate leading artists from both genres into a face-to-face environment and create an album that brings experimentalism and accessibility, the world famous and the underground together, ‘live’ in Jamaica. This is a record that has to be made, for musical history’s sake."
now "assimilate" has a pretty icky ring to it in this case. anyway, we're way off-topic here and for the record, i have enjoyed a few things lu cont has done, just not this stuff.

To say that the Mr. Brightside remix annihilated everyone there would be a gross understatement. I was absolutely not the only person jumping and singing like a jackass. I was actually in line to go to the bathroom but BOLTED to the dancefloor when I heard that synth intro.
I am very much a fan of that mix now.
