"Fuzzy Boombox v.1"
(Fuzzy Box)

A compilation of glitchy IDM from a lot of people who make glitchy IDM type stuff. I guess its good if you're into that sort of thing, but by its very nature I find it fairly difficult to distinguish one song from another and in that sense it flows nicely for a compilation. There are some fairly well known artists on here such as b.fleischmann who often records for Morr Music (of 'We put the Morr back in Morrisey' fame). His song "mr. honda" stands out for its computer simulated car sounds (they'd work in an early video game, think pole position) which lend to a drive-ability aspect. Roll up to the club playing this and watch all the little raver kids with glow sticks in their mouths get confused. The record is most notable for its cover art which features cheesy eighties guy ala Miami Vice sporting big hair, a perfect smile and a chinsy little boom box pressed against his ear. -Dan
