Cool – calm – collected: chapter 15 of this series, compiled by Compost’s head honcho Michael Reinboth contains 21 tracks, 8 exclusive, previously unreleased tracks. The release comes as 2-CD / 4-LP vinyl, depending on your preference...

It's been four years since the previous volume (Vol. 14) of this series was releases, but the wait was certainly worth it. Once again we get a lovingly curated collection of diverse sounds taking in everything from electronica, house, techno and ambient. At times it's not an easy listen. Having a diverse playlist means there's bound to be a few tracks that take a little getting used to.

There's influences from all around the world and from almost every genre imaginable The 21 tracks come in at (2 hr, 22 min, 47 sec), which is more than enough to get your teeth into. Lets hope that the next volume doesn't take quite so long to arrive.
