WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS: ‘StreetSounds Electro 1‘ LP (Street Sounds ELCST 1)
Mastermind Roadshow’s Herbie has done some brilliant mixes ‘n scratches in seguing all the electro hip-hoppers on this compilation — listen especially to the link between The Packman ‘I’m The Packman’ and the totally restructured Newcleus ‘Jam On Revenge’ (this restructuring negating any criticism of its also being on ‘StreetSounds 6’), and between G-Force ‘Feel The Force’ and Project Future ‘Ray-Gun-Omics’. All the tracks go on too long to be totally ideal for dancers, but at a bargain price the set’s a must even if you already have these plus West Street Mob, K-9 Corp, Captain Rock and C-Bank.
