2006, Eskimo
Originally released in 2005. Compiled by Scotland's esteemed DJ tag team, Twitch and Jonnie Wilkes. Featuring such diverse oddities as Chris and Cosey and Hawkwind to classic house via Mr. Fingers and Fast Eddie, lost techno gems from Koenig Cylinders and Hole In One and even The Temptations, The Stranglers and Simple Minds, Psyche Out is a wayward journey through the outer limits of dance. With this comp, Optimo always maintains a darkly experimental edge to this selection, creating a user-friendly atmosphere in which to experience the secrets of their record boxes. Heavy abstract grooves mix in psychedelic territory from the late '60s to the present day, all with that touch of class from people who know. 2LP version includes unmixed tracks. Other artists include: Vapourspace, Silver Apples, Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom, Dorau/Köhncke, Sinnamon, Sweet Exorcist, Damien Donato, Throbbing Gristle, Carl Craig, Skatt Bros, Acid Test, The Step, Systeme Imaginique, Chamber Bros and Sons and Daughters.

Customer Reviews




JDHOptimo drops another bomb on us courtesy of Eskimo Records. They drop Fast Eddie, Sons & Daughters, Herbie Hancock, Hawkwind, and more all completely mixed. Not to mention Dinosaur's "Kiss Me Again" is as classic as it gets.
