Mtv Amp 2

NEW

Amp is, of course, the late night MTV program that s helped turn America onto that electronica stuff, and this is the sequel to 1997 s commercially successful Amp collection. Amp 2 gets things started off right with a house-rockin unreleased track from Fatboy Slim, but can t sustain such sheer energy throughout, courtesy of flaccid beats from the likes of Prodigy and Adam F. Nevertheless, Amp 2 spins an educational emphasis, stressing the link between new and old schools, with varied collaborations between hip-hoppers and electronic artists. The most successful tracks go back to the funk from which both musics borrow--particularly Pigeonhead with Lo-Fidelity All-Stars, a Jungle Brothers remix, and Roni Size/Reprazent s Brown Paper Bag, which sees the future in the past all by itself. --Mike McGonigal SKU : ADIB000006OWY
