You should be able to find it easily, but if you can't, just give a whistle ;D

What made Screamadelica great (back then for everyone, now only for the devoted)? It was the fusion of a band that previously expressed itself through rock with one of the greatest minds in electronic music ever, namely Andrew Weatherall, current member of the "two lone swordsmen," and before that of the "sabres of paradise," but also a very classy minimal techno/house loner, and his touch is heavily felt in this album... it was a novelty, a gamble, like others have been in different genres, but it was a huge success and deserves recognition for its original and (at the time) revolutionary idea... that’s all, whether it may please or not, I agree... it always depends on the tastes and the experience of the ear that listens.

What a great record! It may be dated, it may be dated, but it's still an album that I enjoy revisiting, even if not often... "New Forms" is exactly what we need more of in these increasingly global times, even while risking to produce something incomprehensible to a large part of the public... Roni Size took a risk but created a stylish milestone of electronic music.

Even though I don't consider chill out a genre but more of a necessity (commercial perhaps???) in the need to classify one or more tracks, I assure you that what you call chill out here is very little if not nothing at all... it has always been Thievery's work to originally mix different genres, giving a warm soul to their creations... anyway, of course, everyone has their tastes ;)
Ah, I completely agree with Zion regarding their DJ Kicks... very enjoyable!

Damn, I've heard about them a few times but I don't know how I've managed to miss them until now! I'm binge-watching them all at once...

It's true that everyone has their own tastes... but music also needs to be appreciated, and this double CD will satisfy even the most refined palates... it's pointless to cast pearls before swine...
Even if somewhat old now, (like many other great CDs) good music in the best alchemies never fades away: to be heard by those who haven't yet and to be cherished by those who loved it.
