\"Often way ahead of the curve, Paul Blackford is a unique producer with a distinctive UK take on the style. Releasing records since 2002, Blackford's discography is vast, and possibly intimidating to the uninitiated. So 'The Electro Collection' is a very welcome primer on his best material, 75 tracks deep with crisp electro goodness. '1991' adds rave formulae to the classic beat structure, with Detroit stabs and hoover interjections, 'Coin Op' did the 8-bit arcade sample thing before everyone else, and 'Heathrow Express' is a wicked acid piece with hip-hop horn stabs and plush pads. Any self respecting electro addict needs this.\"
