The first compilation from Horse Meat Disco opens, improbably enough, with an answering-machine message from a deeply shaken Geordie called Craig, whose evening at the celebrated London club night has apparently taken a turn for the bizarre: "A massive glass unicorn came crashing down on the dancefloor and started chanting my name," he protests weakly, sounding a little worse for wear. "That's when I knew, hey, you better get yourself to bed." If it can't quite replicate the hedonistic atmosphere that presumably led to poor old Craig's mental undoing, the 16 tracks here ably demonstrate why the club's reputation has burgeoned in recent years: from a dubbed-out Larry Levan mix of Smokey Robinson to the dizzy euphoria of Plaza's Got My Dancing Shoes, it's all suitably obscure, but never becomes an arid exercise in record collecting one-upmanship: the desire to unearth lost gems is clearly matched by an equally strong urge to ensure everything they dig out is impossibly funky.
