The album Jess James Presents Hydrogen Dukebox Compilation by Various is a brilliant collection of electronic music that showcases the diversity of the genre. The compilation features tracks from artists such as Plaid, Luke Vibert, and Cristian Vogel, among others. The album is a perfect reflection of the Hydrogen Dukebox label's ethos of promoting innovative and experimental electronic music.
The compilation opens with Plaid's "Eyen," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a hypnotic blend of glitchy beats, atmospheric synths, and intricate melodies. Other standout tracks on the album include Luke Vibert's "I Love Acid," a playful ode to the Roland TB-303, and Cristian Vogel's "Absolute," a brooding and menacing track that builds to a frenzied climax.
