not so long ago two electronic music band - broca and maps and diagrams - founded a cactus island label. it is the second release of this company in which you will find a similar sounding idm artists' tracks. ones are well known, other ones are hardly heard, third ones were heard for one time maybe. a perfect alternative for a little more known labels and their works in general. friends we met along the way - artists gathered from the dark coners, ones already become famous. others are trying to and we will hear about them in the future, third ones are making their first steps. tim koch, broca, apparat, maps & diagrams and lots of others. the compilation is very sweet and dynamic, there are no tracks that come out of the general background, no track with noticeable quality difference. it is like a long and monotonic dream with some emotional rises up to the sky. the peak - sovacusa - 116.

this compilation is rated with the highest grades everywhere. this is time i agree with the conclusions scattered around unconditionally. a very strong compilation and a big perspective of the label in the future. they are going to grow up a new era of electronic music.
