How does one describe a compilation where the all of the music was written
using preset sounds from a Roland 808 or 909 keyboard? How are we expected to
take a band seriously when all they do is loop four or five preset sounds for
six to eight minutes and throw a bunch of tasteless pornography samples over
the top? I suppose if all you want to do is dance yourself into a cardiac
arrest to music so mindless that a monkey could program it given a few hours
alone with the keyboard than perhaps you might enjoy this but if your looking
for music with depth you should really consider looking elsewhere. The one
saving grace of the double disc set is the second half of the compilation which
consists of two live DJ sets. Here is where the real musical talent enters in
the picture as a real person attempts to mix down multiple high bpm tracks
without drawing an irate response from their dance audience by mistiming
the beat. Gabba certainly is the new dance floor phenomenon to arrive from
Europe and is by far the fastest, and most grueling to experience in the clubs
but that is really where the music ought to stay as any serious music would
certainly dismiss their genre and mindlessly derivative tripe.
