Synopsis

Amazon.com
With the exception of the title track, "Beat the Clock," these songs have absolutely nothing thematically to do with the impending millennium, nor is this compilation a particularly good choice if you are looking for music that is going to whip your New Year's party into a dance-floor frenzy. Too many of these tracks are blockbuster dance hits that have saturated mainstream media, from soundtracks to commercials ("Rockafeller Skank," "Busy Child," "Born Slippy"), and when 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 1999, rolls around, you'll most likely want to be listening to something a little more meaningful, or at least a little fresher. If the Y2K bug actually does cause your CD player to glitch out on the eve of the new millennium, do you really want the last song you hear to be the background music for a Gap ad? --Beth Massa

CD Reviews

A great find for a DJ..
Jeremy C. Colombo | Irving, Texas USA | 12/27/2000
(3 out of 5 stars)

"As a DJ, I was happy to find these rare tracks (rare on vinyl at least). I'm not sure what these other people's problem is. Though these tracks have been collaborated together before and played out in the mainstream, they are nearly all classics.."
Electronica's Best Compilation
Jeremy C. Colombo | 08/09/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't know why Amazon.Com gave this album such a negative review. All the songs kick lots of a**, especially the Propellerheads', the most underrated band in existence. Granted, it may not be the best for parties. It might not have the dance-able beats. But, sh**, who cares? And what's wrong with Gap commercials?"
Rehash, rehash, rehash

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Unless these are new remixes, if you're into this kind of music, you may already own half the collection. If you're just getting on the bandwagon, this would be an excellent introduction."
