Amazing. by WRE (Maryland, USA)  5 Stars
August 18, 2000
I have had this compilation CD for at least 3 years now and I STILL am not tired of it. I do not carry this CD with me when I travel because I enevitably end up driving 80 miles and hour, which, in my vehicle is emminently dangerous. What I know about techno and/or dance music would fill a thimble, but I can tell you when a song rocks, and that's what we have here.

Definitely most solid of the Three compilations by MCExtreme 5 Stars
May 17, 2000
I bought this CD waay back when it first came out while browsing for electronic music at Borders. At the time, i was really into Europop, but i wanted to expand my horizons just a bit (and i wanted to seem cool by knowing stuff others didnt know).
This CD, even to this day, remains one of the favorites in my 200-odd albums. I popped it in recently, and i marveled at how much electronic music has changed in a scant 3 years. That's when i realized Plasic Compilations are damned good at picking out the tracks that best suit the time.
This CD is solid from start to end (i love the Sarah Maclachlan remixes even tho i am not too big a fan of hers). It's mostly big beat stuff (think: Fatboy Slim and Chemical Brothers style music). There is not one Trance track on this album.
Heh. I've become so accustomed to the flighty melodic tunes (sometimes lacking any soul) of Trance that i forgot what really attracted me to electronic music in the first place...that gritty feeling that makes you boogy, that puts u on edge, and which is an alternative to the sometimes non-creative rock scene (remember all those look-alike Grunge bands?).
If you're looking for Solid Electronic music from other bands, check out Fatboy Slim's "Better Living thru Chemistry", Crystal Method's album, anything by The Chemical Brothers, Moby's "Play".
For solid trance tracks check out anything by BT, Paul Van Dyk, and Faithless.

Hands down the best of the three, an excellent comp by Richard Diaz (Centerville, OH United States)  4 Stars
May 15, 2000
The Plastic series does a good job of picking quality hits, such as Underworld's remarkable "Pearl's Girl," The Chemical Brothers "Loops of Fury" and Propellerheads "Take California." They also include a few club-friendly hits for the masses, such as the mandatory Sarah McLachlan remixes (you get two decent, if unremarkable ones) or Garbage. Then they round it out with some kinda-known gems that add the real value to the package: Meat Beat Manifesto's "She's Unreal," a good Crystal Method track not on their Vegas album, and God Within's "Raincry."There's not a clunker in the bunch (barring the McLachlan stuff) making this a choice pick-up and to date the best of the 3 volumes in the Plastic series.

Plastic Rocks 5 Stars
October 07, 1998
This cd is the greatest compilation of techno-rock ever gathered. Do not hesitate to purchase this cd if you are any kind of a techno fan. I had never listened to techno before I purchased this cd. I considered it a bunch of super repetative, computer generated sound garbage. But I had some spare cash, and, in a pinch of time, bought it. I am so glad that I did! Hesitate no longer...Purchase this cd NOW!!!

This third collection in Nettwork Records' Plastic series boasts the same qualities as volume 1 and volume 2: gifted DJs, driving danceability and a solid selection of material, ripe for the mixing. Kicking off the disc with his usual flair for dream-trance composition, BT uses Sarah McLachlan's "I Love You" to ethereal effect, lacing her voice with reverb and arranging it around heavenly dance-floor ambience. Moby's "Bodyrock" (off the seminal 1999 release Play) gets inventive, submerging that...
