Rather well done, too-the production was done almost entirely with Amiga equipment (including a 3000/040 with 110 megs of RAM. Why don't magazines have machines like that?), including piping through a Sunrise 16 card to reduce some of the limitations of the 8-bit MOD format.
The cover was rendered on an Amiga as well...you know, the Juggler, a few Boing balls, and the like. Nice job.
But, what's the selection like, you ask?
Pretty good, overall. The inside jacket expresses their regret over not being able to include a larger selection of artists...which I would feel ok about, if they didn't give a few artists double-coverage. That DOES tend to reduce the amount you can cover...
They run the gamut from fast to slow, although none of them fall into the "heavy techno" quality. One sounds a bit like it was taken from 64 music (or was written for easy portability to the 64, since I know I've heard it before), but I can't complain too much.
Reknown artists such as 4-Mat and Joegir Liljedahl grace the contents...to my knowledge, all of the artists were either contacted for permission or do not have restrictions on their music's use. At least, I hope so, for the producer's sake.
If I had put together this CD, I would have of course done it differently. But at a price of about US$14, for 74 minutes of play, it's a good value. And it's dedicated to Jay Miner...how can you go wrong?
