This massive collection has been re-released in as many formats as any musician could possibly hope for, which immediately makes it a more enticing proposition. It's a very inspiring and interesting collection of non-standard and other worldly sounds, instruments, effects, loops and pure sample madness.



That said, some of the samples seem to lack presence and high end sheen - it almost sounds as if someone has been a bit too trigger happy with their 24db low-pass filter. Sling them all together in a mix and you'll find it appears 'dull' in terms of the upper frequency range.



That said, most of the sounds are so cool that , over time, you may well make use of nearly all of the content. Just about worth the wonga then, and a Godsend for anyone who's wanted this popular CD in a specific format.
