(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a CD that will infuriate Kirk fans as it is yet another CD to add to the collection. With Kirk's quality control it does mean though that it's good but you'll have to part with your cash yet again. Since 2001 though, Kirk has been re-releasing material that was either originally hard to find or get some best of's into the catalogue which is great for the uninitiated and a nightmare for the die-hard fan!Basically this collection picks up all the stuff from 74-89 and the result is probably a bit more scattered than you would think. Actually it's a bit like Conform to Deform where it varies from harsh electro-industrial to the beginnings of house and techno. There are some tracks that sound like raw ingredients that would go on other albums while there are other tracks which are wholly new. What is talked about here is Can's I Want More. I haven't heard the original ( been meaning to get into Can for sometime ) but what we have here is Krautrock goes techno! But the delivery of the lyrics is typical of acid house at the time ( " I want more and more and more/more and more and more and more " ). Still this release is bound to get Kirk hounds going. They won't be disappointed unless they would have preferred if the " anthology " were a little more chronological in it's delivery"
