%) VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE | Editorial Reviews : The Back to Mine series has already provided some memorable compilations from a diverse collection of dance luminaries, including Morcheeba, MJ Cole, Groove Armada, and Talvin Singh. Now, famous brothers-in-rhythm Paul and Phil Hartnoll, a.k.a. Orbital, offer up a selection of tunes that lie close to their hearts and get their heads bopping. Their effort is indulgently deep and impressively broad, and it's certainly one of the series' most eclectic offerings yet. Starting with John Barry and His Orchestra's 'The Knack,' we are taken through a weird and wonderful selection of tastes and styles, leaping from soundtrack to ska, rave to reggae, industrial to psychedelic, punk to pop. The intensely wide range of sounds means that the CD doesn't flow quite as mellifluously as it might, but with songs by Lee Scratch Perry ('Justice to the People'), the Tornadoes ('Love and Fury'), PJ Harvey ('Kamikaze'), the Selecter ('Celebrate the Bullet'), Jethro Tull ('Living in the Past'), and Plaid ('New Bass Hippo'), it's still an enjoyable, sprawling, and educational album that manages to pull together a disparate but relevant bunch of pre, post, and present dance tunes.
Buyer Reviews : I am a big BTM fan. This release of the series is not bad. Given the quality of the last two: Talvin Singh and MJ Cole, this release feel a bit short. The one thing lacking on this CD is continuity. Most of the other CD's have different tracks buy yet a universal consistency among them. It really add to a clean flow from track to track. This seemed like a true 'Orbital' favorites with little (apparent) attempt to bring consistent feel to the CD. All in all not a bad a CD - much better than most of what is out there. A definate for true BTM fans.
