The effort to categorize and document the history of electronic dance music has intensified over the past few years, resulting in countless CD compilations and several cinematic documentaries. The latest is Better Living Through Circuitry, and the soundtrack suggests an attempt to link the current sounds to the industrial music movement of the 1980s. Representing the old school are Psychic TV and Meat Beat Manifesto, the latter of which shows up with "Money for E," a 1987 track from their prolific (and arguably most interesting) foray into acid-house dance music. Although the disc is weighted down with label-affiliated B-list tracks from Keoki and Electric Skychurch, the inclusion of Roni Size's revolutionary "Brown Paper Bag" and Future Sound of London's classic "Expander (Remix)" lend the collection a solid air of credibility. Although trying to capture the essence of the electronic dance underground in a mere 70 minutes is an impossible task, Better Living Through Circuitry makes an enjoyable and interesting introduction. --David Prince

decent.......2003-06-30

Decent compilation. Nothing groundbreaking. Your typical techno dance stuff. The annoying sound clips between songs brings this one star down. Not everyone is into the whole silly rave scene.

Great music, so-so sound bytes.......2001-05-05

I love the music they selected for this compilation, but I do have one complaint... At the end of a track, you'll find yourself listening to someone talking about the type of music or the scene... It can really throw you if you aren't ready for it, and doesn't work well when you've got a bunch of tracks from various CDs randomly cycling through.

A perfect look into the Digital Underground........2000-05-22

It's almost a shame that such increadible artists go unrecognized (with the possible exceptions of Crystal Method and Roni Size). Moonshine Music's compliation CD, Better living through circuitry, absolutely brings together some of the best dance artists out there and packages them all onto one CD. It's tough to pick stand out tracks, but the following are probably the most exciting to listen to:

Keoki's "Caterpillar" DJ Spooky's "Peace in Zaire." This is actually a remix of Sublime's "Doin' Time," created into a dance beat. Roni Size's "Brown Paper Bag" Electric Skychurch, "Deus" and of course, Crystal Method's "Now is the time"

If you do NOT know all too much about dance music, specifically electronica and techno, this CD is a must. Even for those of us who know this genre fairly well, it's an ideal compilation to bring some of the best artists together.

A great techno compilation!.......2000-05-05

I, once again, bought this album for Meat Beat Manifesto's new track, "Parts 1-4". While MBM proves to be outstanding once more, the other tracks on this CD are addicting. The same thing happened with the CD compilation Earthdance -- bought it for MBM, got a lot more out of it! I especially like others such as "Freaks" by Uberzone and "Endor Fun" by LCD (especially the little Speak & Spell effect at the beginning). And if you listen closely to the beginning of "Peace in Zaire by DJ Spooky, it sounds like a garbled Sublime track ("Doin' Time"). This is a great compilation for techno freaks or someone who wants to throw a great dance party. If I get a chance, I am also going to see the film that this soundtrack comes from, "Better Living Through Circuitry".

P.S. MBM RULES!

Insanity!.......2005-02-28

There's alot of Bass albums out these days. Aside from 'King Of Quad' , this album is the best for testing your subs. The first song on the album is well worth any price for a bass album. It's a countdown, followed by a recorded nuclear explosion. You have to hear it to believe how hard, and deep the bass hits. You won't believe your ears (if they're still attached afterwards LoL).

The other songs on the album are decent as well. Good rhythims and carefully planned bass executions. Not the best, but not the worst either.

Simply put, this is a MUST OWN album for bass. As I stated before, the 1st song on this album is worth any price.

Album Description

"Cowboys & Pirates" is the ninth album from internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Barry Crompton, and the first to present Crompton the way many of his fans know him best -solo and acoustic. A recorded version of his popular live set, the album is a mix of well crafted Crompton originals and cherry picked covers. From the good time feel of "Time Off For Bad Behavior", to the singalong "Desert Rose", to the croonings of the classic "Slow Boat to China", this is Crompton doing what he does best -singing and playing his heart out. For those who haven't yet caught Crompton live this is a great introduction. For those who already have it's a great souvenir. A guitar, a voice, and a heart. A lot of heart.
