Elektronisk kompilation
Stupid Dream
This compilation starts up with a very annoying house song by Cotton Crew that could have put me off right away. Fortunately, this is one of the most inconsistent compilations ever, thus, there are still a few enjoyable numbers. The whole thing is a bit unsettling to listen to from start to finish as it jumps from straight house to a more lo-fi approach and to hip-hop influenced beats from one song to another. There's quite a bit of house on here though, which is a bit weird to me as I really thought people didn't listen to that shit anymore, same goes for a few drum'n'bass numbers that just felt so 1999. That being said, there are a few psytrance, drill and bass and psy-minimal tracks that are OK, but perhaps the most disappointing aspect is the lack of truly stellar tracks that would make me want to purchase singles or albums from any of these artists except for maybe Discolor.
