A review of the WTII Records CD compilation Resurrection 2.

Resurrection 2 - Various Artists

With such a dirth of music coming out every year what better way to discover new music and save yourself a buck or two than to check out a compilation record, right?

WTII records will be happy to service your need. Resurrection 2 is mostly a collection of Club/Future Pop tracks from the WTII Records roster. The 11 song release features new and exclusive tracks from HMB, cut.rate.box, Stromkern, Deceptio Mentis, Monstrum Sepsis and PTI as well as tracks from La Floa Maldita, Beborn Beton, State of the Union and Trigger10d, seven bands of which appeared on the former Resurrection comp.

The exceptional tracks are primarily from the bands you would expect excellence from, HMB’s cover of Berlin’s "The Metro", cut.rate.box’s "Aperture [Slither Mix], La Floa Maldita’s "Secrets and Dreams", and State of the Union’s "Makina Mata". Unfortunately those are the only real gems to be found on Resurrection 2. HMB’s and cut.rate.box’s songs are new or exclusive versions while La Floa Maldita’s and State of Union’s are selected directly from their respective albums Salut Jacques and Inpendum.

Mastered superbly by Chris Randall (of Sister Machine Gun fame), Resurrection 2 is a worthy addition for D.Js of electro/industrial and fetish clubs, but might be one to pass up if you’ve only got enough money to buy one album this month.
