it's got quite a few dated tracks, that's not Underground 2008 for me. It is however blinding naive souls into thinking it is.


Thanks again MOS :roll:
 
dunno how this cd can be titled 'underground 2008' considering that a lot of these tracks are not underground and we're still in 2007. weird.

My honest opinion? I reckon there are some good tunes on there but not sure it should be called the Underground, always going to get a few people's backs up - no matter how underground you think something is there will always be someone who is/claims to be more 'underground'.
 
I don't see the problem with it at all. It's all relative. You need to appreciate thier target market. It stopped being for regular 'proper' nightclubbers a long time ago (99 by my reckoning ;))*

First of all, this is a Ministry comp*, so take the actual wording of the title with a pinch of salt (considering your own pre-conceptions of what is the underground). This is Underground 2008 just like the Annual is a 'collection of all the proper club hits of the year'.

There are some undeniably awesome tracks on there, and if you were the sort of person that was stuck buying Hed Kandi/Ministry/(cheesier end of) Defected records, then you aren't in Underground nightclubs, and so this could be a tool for you to broaden your horizons. The fact that some of the track as 2006 isn't really a factor as you don't go to the nightclubs that rinsed them way back when.

And then let's face it, why would MoS release an album for the Ministry-Album-Buying-Public with the design brief of havign an album that woudl aim to bring/show them out of the niche of all that over-produced girly nonsense, without using the 'tried and tested underground' tunes, if you'll excuse the oxymoron.

*Disregarding of course the recent Sessions comps, as they look a touch acceptable, though I've only listened to one of them (Mark knight!) and that was more of a crime against my ears than this could ever be!

Some of the Sessions series are quite good... I was listening to Green Velvet last night and while, in that particular case, you'll have all the tracks on other comps, it's still a good listen.

You've about summed it up. Good compilation (from the looks of it), poor marketing decision.

is it though? like dan says, the target audience (now bored of the annual/hed kandi comps) wannabe a bit more cool, so this is perfect for them.
