An epic journey through techno and tech-house, Dave Angel's double-disc mix album on React includes (count 'em) 39 tracks of bracing techno-trance, a stellar DJ production. With no comedowns and few breaks, Angel sticks to pummeling techno-funk courtesy of his favorite producers -- there are no less than five tracks by Olav Basoski (and three of them in a row), four by Mark Seven, three by Ian Pooley, and three by Nico Awtsventin, plus Angel's own remixes of tracks by Mark NRG, Kamaflarge, and Warped 69. Despite the glut of similar-sounding mix albums on the market, 39 Flavours of Tech Funk is, truly, in a league of its own. ~ John Bush, Rovi
