Catch that Reggae Hip-Hop Tyger

"The first cut on this album of alternative dance music is a sort of rap-reggae version of Blake's "Tiger, Tiger" by Jah Wobble. It's not my favorite cut on the album, but the rhythm is infectious, somewhat slow and a good dance tune, indeed. I was more interested in this album for the cut by Brian Eno "Blissed" which departs from Eno's usually slowly-evolving form-from-formlessness. It's a dance tune! And this from Mr. Music-For-Airports. Roger Eno's ambient tunes are almost like folk-rock, quite subtle and wonderful--a bit like Simon and Garfunkle in a strange sort of way. This album is fun--lots of different stuff. If you like trance, ambient or just something a little off-beat, this is extremely enjoyable."
