Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Principal atout de cette compilation : avoir rassemblé des raretés souvent devenues introuvables de pontes de la technosphère. Un rapide coup d'œil au track-listing suffit à en dire long : The Knack, Basement Jaxx, Air, Primal Scream et Cassius sont remixés par Fatboy Slim (également présent sous le pseudonyme de Scanty Sandwich), David Morales, Photek, Brenda Lynch et Massive Attack. Plus qu'un casting d'enfer, l'ensemble s'avère être un tout cohérent sur la longueur, et, il invitera les nostalgiques de se replonger dans les délires ibiziens, voire permattra aux autres de découvrir quelques jouissifs breakbeats datant d'une époque où les DJ se planquaient derrière d'obscurs pseudonymes et n'étaient pas les stars qu'ils devinrent par la suite. --Hervé Comte

OK so it's off the wall, but it's good!,
By kyle (Granada, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rarewerks (Audio CD)
The compilation "Rarewerks", as I understand it, gives the artists therein recorded the opportunity to let out their particular madness/genius and raise it to something like the tenth power. Its exponential Indie/Groove weirdness brings out a fresh and forward-thinking quality that redeems the disc, though it sometimes leaves the listener feeling thoroughly violated by its iconoclasm (e.g., a "My Sharona" update)...somthing like a 50's evangelist experiencing the titilation of Rock & Roll's girating pelvis for the first time, feeling that inexplicable surge of excitement/guilt that seems to originate at the base of the spine. This is especially true if, as in the case of the prior critic, a listener has become comfortable with the dominant paradigm. Think of "Rarewerks" as the enima for which every critic and evangelist during the last half-century has been secretly pining, and let it round out your collection of what the SPD has so aptly dubbed "that electronic, repetetive-beat, after-hours, warehouse, [...]".I could rephrase everything Matt from New Jersey says about the actual songs, but since I basically agree with him, I'll just let you scroll down and check it out.

What a Painful Journey,
By SM "SM" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rarewerks (Audio CD)
Ouch...did I just spend money on this? What a sad state of affairs...this album is what happens when record labels try just a little too hard to milk their star artists for one more quick buck. I personally own albums from about half of the artists on this CD (Fatboy, Air, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Sasha) and really like all of them but this compilation is just awful because the songs are just 1)amazingly mediocre 2)boring and 3)too long (reference the 13 minute track from Sasha).There is a reason why the "rare works" in this Rareworks CD are so "rare"...it is because they are so Bad ...if the tracks in this CD were any good they wouldn't be rare because fans and the public would have passed them along and spread the word. Think about it...

One Of The Greatest Techno Compilations Ever!,
By Zach (Co Spgs, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rarewerks (Audio CD)
Let me just start off by saying that Astralwerks is my favorite record label for electronic music, so naturally, I love all the artists on this CD. And I also think it was a great idea to put out a compilation with rare material from the label's best musicians. Among the likes of my favorite DJ, Norman Cook (AKA Fatboy Slim), There are awesome tracks here from Photek (Rupert Parks), Basement Jaxx, Cassius, The Chemical Brothers (Tom & Ed), and a amazing live track to finish off the CD, which come from Future Sound Of London. If you enjoy techno music, and/or are a fan of Astralwerks records such as myself, this is definitely going to hold out as one of the strongest releases of the year.
