A companion volume to Luke Vibert's Nuggets, Barry 7's Connectors (compiled by one-third of Add N to X) also features a score or so of tracks from the late-'60s/early-'70s French sound libraries which contracted dozens of composers to create hundreds of pieces on the theme of "music for any occasion." While Vibert's tastes run toward the groovy, Barry 7's' selections are more wide-ranging -- making for a better mix as well. Perhaps he just spent more time in the library, but these tracks -- the evocative analog/electronic fusion of "Dawn Mists" by Stringtronics, the far-out experimentation of Georges Teperino's "Weird Sounds No. 1," and the mostly unexplainable "Forgotten World" by Anthony King -- occasionally walk the line between fine novelties and good music, much more so than on Nuggets. ~ John Bush, Rovi
