I was wary as hell of getting involved because I saw the potential for it to be an awful hacksaw-to-rusty-metal bodge job of cheap remixes of pop artists... and for sure there's certain tracks on there I don't like personally...

BUT the fact is, it's a massive milestone in the continued expansion of the sound, it's going to expose SO many new people to it, and if those people who might only have ever heard 'Where's My Money' or whatever now get to hear 'Where Is Home' remix, 'Changes', 'Purple City', '10 Tons Heavy', 'Reminissin', 'Blood On My Hands' etc etc etc, and get sleevenotes that actually spell out that dubstep isn't a "new sound" or "slowed down D&B" but has a decade-long history with roots in garage and connections to grime, techno etc, then this can only be a good thing!
