Product Description

From Amazon.com

Exciting, edgy, and energetic, Community Service, the Crystal Method's debut DJ mix release, is an instant success. Method men Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan have molded 15 cuts from the likes of Orbital, Rage Against the Machine, and Evil 9 into their own futureshock soundscape, with a result that sounds like an after-hours electronic speed-romp through a postapocalyptic Playstation mega city. At times, Community Service sounds like the sister of German techno-chase film Run Lola Run, nowhere more so than during Koma & Bones' pulsating "Morpheus (Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes Mix)" and Force Mass Motion vs. Dylan Rhymes's "Hold Back." Add some nice funky flashes to the overall techno-based energy, and Community Service is an entertaining reminder that these boys still know their way around decks as well as desktops. --Steffan Chirazi

5.0 out of 5 stars ...But It's Not Ken & Jordan..., Feb 6 2004

CAUTION!
THIS ISN'T A TRUE TCM CD!

this is a mix cd, and everything a mix cd should be.

it starts out spookily with "No Soul" and doesn't start to get upbeat until the third track, "Breakin' On the Streets". then it drops down again for "Morpheus" and continues to rise and fall throughout.
but once you've heard "...how deep the rabbit-hole goes" for the final time, you know it's solid.

recommended if you like techno (that's a rather big prerequesite), and you should be ready to fall in love with the Method again.

AJ (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: V1 Community Service (Audio CD)

The reason I purchased this album was the mix of "Wild, Sweet & Cool". Which in retrospect was a mistake. That song is the only song on the album which reminds me that this a Crystal Method CD. I liked Vegas & Tweakend but they are not "Dance Mix CD's". This album is pretty much only a dance mix, very repetitive and boring unless you are actually dancing.

This review is from: V1 Community Service (Audio CD)

Crystal Method takes up where Prodigy or Orbital left of. This album has the sort of trance/technofunk that one'd love to hear at raves -- gut-quiveringly powerful yet garnished with enough voice and surprises to suggest a spirit in the machine. Stuffed with variety and changes in tempo and dynamics, I expect at least 100 listens before I remove it from my player (assuming that my ears can last that long attached to my head). Shut your eyes, look into the flashing lights, let your body move and hold onto your ears. Great stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than TWEAKEND.
Cool disc if you like TCM. Better than TWEAKEND though not as wicked as VEGAS, COMMUNITY SERVICE is a continuous mix of great electronic music with very little vocal disruptions... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A good album worthy of the cost of the CD
I like it. I like most of the tracks they remix to begin with. Yes, it's worth the cost of the CD. No, it's not as good as Vegas (but could they really top that?). Read more
