Product Description
From Amazon.com
The effort to categorize and document the history of electronic dance music has intensified over the past few years, resulting in countless CD compilations and several cinematic documentaries. The latest is Better Living Through Circuitry, and the soundtrack suggests an attempt to link the current sounds to the industrial music movement of the 1980s. Representing the old school are Psychic TV and Meat Beat Manifesto, the latter of which shows up with "Money for E," a 1987 track from their prolific (and arguably most interesting) foray into acid-house dance music. Although the disc is weighted down with label-affiliated B-list tracks from Keoki and Electric Skychurch, the inclusion of Roni Size's revolutionary "Brown Paper Bag" and Future Sound of London's classic "Expander (Remix)" lend the collection a solid air of credibility. Although trying to capture the essence of the electronic dance underground in a mere 70 minutes is an impossible task, Better Living Through Circuitry makes an enjoyable and interesting introduction. --David Prince

decent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Living Through Circuitr (Audio CD)
Decent compilation. Nothing groundbreaking. Your typical techno dance stuff. The annoying sound clips between songs brings this one star down. Not everyone is into the whole silly rave scene.

Great music, so-so sound bytes,
This review is from: Better Living Through Circuitr (Audio CD)
I love the music they selected for this compilation, but I do have one complaint... At the end of a track, you'll find yourself listening to someone talking about the type of music or the scene... It can really throw you if you aren't ready for it, and doesn't work well when you've got a bunch of tracks from various CDs randomly cycling through.

A perfect look into the Digital Underground.,

This review is from: Better Living Through Circuitr (Audio CD)
It's almost a shame that such increadible artists go unrecognized (with the possible exceptions of Crystal Method and Roni Size). Moonshine Music's compliation CD, Better living through circuitry, absolutely brings together some of the best dance artists out there and packages them all onto one CD. It's tough to pick stand out tracks, but the following are probably the most exciting to listen to:Keoki's "Caterpillar" DJ Spooky's "Peace in Zaire." This is actually a remix of Sublime's "Doin' Time," created into a dance beat. Roni Size's "Brown Paper Bag" Electric Skychurch, "Deus" and of course, Crystal Method's "Now is the time" If you do NOT know all too much about dance music, specifically electronica and techno, this CD is a must. Even for those of us who know this genre fairly well, it's an ideal compilation to bring some of the best artists together.
