This is the 2nd outing from label giant Global Underground after the excellent 'Electric Calm' album in an attempt to veer off the usual style of mix CD compilation that's saturated the market nowadays.
Here, they offer something a little different. A mind fuckin' cocktail of drugged-out chill on Disc 1 and a totally spaced out barrage of heavy flowing electronica on Disc 2. Sometimes technoish, sometimes progressive, sometimes indescribable.
In general the compilation is a solid effort, a true journey for the mind, body and soul, and is best taken after long exposure to the clubbing environment. It is punctuated by head clearing sounds, the perfect stuff to relax the mind after a massive night out. And although these discs feature some fairly f%*ked up and wasted sh*t, they are at the same time both mellow and deep, a perfect example of the ‘I just got home at 4am and need something to stop the ringing yet something that isn’t too offensive and may event let me get some sleep’ kind of music. Disc One of this afterhours compilation is particularly flawless, while Disc Two is the more intense and experimental of the two and features some amazing production.
