diplo fabric mix

i just received diplo´s fabric live 24
mix cd.
and i have to say: i am not impressed.
first of all:
i know nearly all of the tracks.
second:
i know them because they are classics.
third:
real oldschool classic - best of elektro - cybotron, yazoo, freestyler,model 500, blablah classic classic.
fourth:
the mix doesn´t sound really special - except for the short trip into baile funk ( 5 tracks from 26 - 2 of them his own productions) - its all blablah - the 3 really exciting tracks have been played by my beloved better half AD for more then half a year now and what the heck are the cure , le tigre (with their BIG classic) and cat power doing on this mix ?

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!
WHO IS SUPPOSED TO SET OUR STANDARDS? I GUESS NOW WE CAN ONLY DO THAT OURSELVES.

and smth more : david banner is playing tonight - some where in the west. q dorf?
see you there.

Naja, so schlecht ist der mix nun auch nicht, aber ich selber hab die die cd auch wieder weitergegegeben. Das problem bei diesen fabric-mixes ist, daß alle immer gezwungen vielschichtig sein wollen müssen. Hiphop zu Rock zu Electro zu blabla. Auch bei den Scratch Perverts Mix.
Adrian Sherwood ist not impressed.

also der scratch perverts mix hat wenigstens 3 tracks drauf, die ich super finde und nicht kannte - zumindest in diesen versionen. der diplo mix nicht. keinen einzigen.
vielschichtigkeit ist doch geil - wenn der selector geschmack hat - i mean thats our thing - und das ist genau das, was ich bei mr. diplo vermisse - weniger electro - mehr unusual stuff haette es sein koennen. meine meinung. uebrigens : deine fotos sind toll - machste auch mal welche von uns? ´d be lovely
