I've never been a fan of the "sampler formula", it always remind me an all you can eat modus essendi, sure I've some interesting compilations but just a few. Thanks heaven Bip_Hop for this collection adopted the smart idea of reducing the number of the hosts but leaving them more time so they could put one, two or three tracks as they prefer and that's the case. This chapter eight of the Bip_Hop generation collection is quite homogenous in a soft electronics-post-ambiental sense and it works really well as a continuum. If this last sentence could be interpreted as an hint the artists are too similar, I have to say that's partially true since Murcof, Minamo, and Tu'm are quite different one from each other, but I think that be it intentional or not their track are really complementary on this sampler. Murcof obviously is the most different from the rest of the pack but his electronic meets contemporary music taste is softer than usual. Akiyama track is probably a bit more abstract than the majority of his works but his ten minutes are also able to be emotionally charged. I didn't know String of Consciousness and it’s a nice surprise while TU M' are good as always (hey how many releases have they out at the moment?). Tennis’ quite good even if probly their track are less incisive then the other mates and what can you say about Minamo if not they’re simply lovely?. Even if as I’ve said usually I’m not into sampler this time my thumb is unquestionably up , get it.
