The record label Journeys by DJ will soon be rereleasing 70 Minutes of Madness, an inestimably manic album by Coldcut, the DJ duo who run the Ninja Tune record label. 70 Minutes manages to combine such disparate elements as spoken-word guerilla Jello Biafra, minimalist composer Harold Budd and drum’n’bass pioneer Photek along with a host of dance music, including such Coldcut labelmates as DJ Food and Funki Porcini. The album lists 35 individual source elements (Air Liquide, Mantronix, Gescom, Masters at Work), and rarely is one heard at a single time.
