Music reviews of Back to Mine

Music Review: extremely disappointing...
Rating: 1 Stars

I recently bought this album, eagerly anticipating yet another amazing installment in the "Back to Mine" series. Unfortunately, Orbital's offering is nowhere near any of the other offerings. The track selection is too eclectic to flow easily to begin with, and many of the choices are just plain bad.
Regarding the electronica tracks, first, a quick word about me: I used to be a raver, but am not any more. Now it takes a lot for a techno track to impress me. None of these did. Maybe if you're into that sort of thing, you'll like them (including Eon's "Spice", Orbital's "Ska'ed for Life", Plaid's "New Bass Hippo" and two Moving Shadow tracks by Earth Leakage Trip and Hyper-on Experience), but they didn't do a thing for me.
The tracks from the '60s (including tracks 1, 16, and 19), while kind of interesting, are mostly fairly dull.
The only real standouts, for me, were PJ Harvey's "Kamikaze" (in Harvey's usual inimitable style), Susan Cadogan's "Don't Burn Your Bridges"(a nice reggae tune), and Divine Comedy's "Lost Property" (a pleasant surprise, since i saw him open for Ben Folds earlier this summer and was very unimpressed).
In sum: don't bother. If you want to check out the Back to Mine series, go with Nick Warren's, Groove Armada's, Morcheeba's, Everything but the Girl's... heck, just about any other from the series. All have plenty of what this offering, in the end, is sorely lacking: a chill, soulful groove that makes you just want to close your eyes and nod your head along for hours.

Description of Back to Mine

Orbital Back To Mine US CD album
The Back to Mine series has already provided some memorable compilations from a diverse collection of dance luminaries, including Morcheeba, MJ Cole, Groove Armada, and Talvin Singh. Now, famous brothers-in-rhythm Paul and Phil Hartnoll, a.k.a. Orbital, offer up a selection of tunes that lie close to their hearts and get their heads bopping. Their effort is indulgently deep and impressively broad, and it's certainly one of the series' most eclectic offerings yet. Starting with John Barry and His Orchestra's "The Knack," we are taken through a weird and wonderful selection of tastes and styles, leaping from soundtrack to ska, rave to reggae, industrial to psychedelic, punk to pop. The intensely wide range of sounds means that the CD doesn't flow quite as mellifluously as it might, but with songs by Lee Scratch Perry ("Justice to the People"), the Tornadoes ("Love and Fury"), PJ Harvey ("Kamikaze"), the Selecter ("Celebrate the Bullet"), Jethro Tull ("Living in the Past"), and Plaid ("New Bass Hippo"), it's still an enjoyable, sprawling, and educational album that manages to pull together a disparate but relevant bunch of pre, post, and present dance tunes. --Paul Sullivan
