Editorial Review: Amazon.com: "Extremis," the truly lame single on which X-Filer Gillian Anderson makes the first of what will likely be many bad career moves, sounds and feels like electronica's death knell. The rest of Disc one here redeems the genre with fine body slams by Fluke and Chemical Bros. Disc two delves into the past with ambient trips by David Sylvian, Brian Eno, and William Orbit, among others. --Jeff Bateman Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Disposable CD, don't get fooled by the titleWell, don't know what to say about this CD. While wondering in one of those Used CD record stores I found this one and got trapped by the title: "FUTURE: A journey through the electronic underground", so I got it, but when I push the play buttom I found dissapointing tunes (except 2 or maybe 3). I am 36 years now and I am an avid Electronic listener, but this CD does not honor the title. Yes, I understand this is 11 years old and the music then was very scarce, but if that was the concept of underground...well...you better get a CD of Cafe del Mar. I am going right now to the Used CD store to change it for another one. Rating:  - it's the musicat the peak of the late-90's electronica craze, compilations like this were popping up all over the place. as grunge faded and rock seemed moribund, the music industry was desperate for something new, something original, something to spark the public's interest enough for them to buy buy buy. labels big and small thought they'd hit on the next big thing, and tried any gimmick to promote it. hence this cd of tracks purportedly selected by gillian anderson herself. at the time she was a big name on a huge television series, though now, nearly ten years after this release, no one seems to know where she is. how this deal got made we won't know. did she approach someone about this project? maybe she knew someone making electronica and ...

HA HA! nothing but top reviews. Shows how out of touch this guy is! Anyway... the music.... loved all but two tracks.... the salsa and mesq. was a little monotonous as was??? whatever. his cd is in my top 10 of the 1500 cd's in my collection. I've been into electronica since 1988 and it really doesn't get much better than this.... the next best thing being a live show... check out Ladytron, they are the next beig thing in electronica... 70's mellow acid beets meets 2003! Werd to kyla.... david from Vancouver Canada Rating: - Very Good!!!If you are a techno fan, then this c.d is a must-have!!! I have to admit that I only checked out this c.d because I am a huge Gillian Anderson fan but after listening to it I totally forgot she compiled the songs and even sang one herself. I really enjoyed listening to it and am now a fan of techno. My reason for this review is that if you are not a Gillian Anderson fan, then you don't have to put down this c.d or ignore it because you see her name on the cover. It has a lot of great material and any techno fan will love it. And if you are a Gillian Anderson fan, then more power to ya because this is one more thing that you can enjoy of hers! Rating: - Well Worth Your Time!If you like techno/electronica, you are going to love this album. There is a good cross-sampling of songs that give you a flavor of the artists featured. I ended up buying other CDs after hearing some of the selections featured here. I first heard this CD compilation from a friend at work who shares my taste in music and had to buy a copy of my own. I didn't realize that it was compiled by Gillian Anderson until I came to Amazon.com to buy it. Don't base your purchase decision on what some of the "reviewers" have to say about their personal feelings for Ms. Anderson, the artists and selections featured on this compilation are great. If you don't believe me, then sample the selections for yourself on this page. |
