I'll agree; the title of this awesome mix tape is a bit of a misnomer -- as the true "beginner's guide" to the undisputed kings of techno* is actually their premium collection, "Singles 93-03."Anyway, the reason for this here awesome mix tape is actually twofold: A) It's my little way of honoring the greats before their next life-altering, mind-expanding masterpiece, "We Are the Night," drops July 17 and B) upon quite enjoying the two Noel Gallagher collaborations I put on an Oasis odds 'n' sods mix tape for Suoja (an avid Oasis fan), he wanted to hear more.
Being the nice co-worker I am (and quite the obsessed mix tape master I also am), I happily volunteered my time.
One final note: The accompanying artwork is a tribute to the Brothers' landmark '97 album, "Dig Your Own Hole"** -- which I concocted back when I lived out west. It may also look familiar because I previously "issued" a variant of it as cover art for DTAS11, "Mark Mallman Rules, OK?"
