Andy Kellman of AllMusic stated that "the compilation is an endless barrage of slick spots, surely enough to entertain and convert and definitely a concise way to please the already informed." [2] M. Tye Comer of CMJ New Music Report wrote, "In his deep, monotone drawl, Velvet (the alter ego of Chicago house producer Curtis A. Jones, a.k.a. Cajmere) humorously muses about his life's many miseries over tough drum beats and sparse, yet gritty '80s synthesizers." [4] Michael Paoletta of Billboard described it as "A quirky mix of trance, techno, electro, and house". [5] The song Percolator, Flash, and many other songs by Cajmere (AKA Green Velvet) were recorded, engineered and mixed by Jerome Mikulich of the Playroom Recording Studio, which was located in Chicago Heights, IL and was relocated in 1994 to downtown Chicago IL on 520 N. Michigan Ave.

Velvet Acid Christ (VAC) is an electro-industrial band based in Denver, Colorado. The band was formed in 1990 by its leader vocalist, musician, and producer Bryan Erickson, and later featured various ex-members of Toxic Coma. The project gained limited popularity in Europe's underground nightclub scenes during the mid-1990s with the compilation Church of Acid (1996) before expanding into other markets in the goth and industrial subcultures. The band's discography includes 14 albums, the latest being Ora Oblivionis (2019).
No. 4 is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Stone Temple Pilots, released on October 26, 1999, by Atlantic Records. The album was a return to the band's earlier hard rock roots, while also blending elements of heavy metal, psychedelic rock, and alternative rock. Despite the lack of promotion due to singer Scott Weiland's one-year jail sentence shortly before the album's release, No. 4 was certified Platinum by the RIAA on August 7, 2000, and by the CRIA in August 2001. The song "Down" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the Grammy Awards. The album also produced one of STP's biggest hits, "Sour Girl", which charted at #78 on the Billboard Hot 100, their only song to appear on that chart. The CD was originally released as a digipak, then later changed to a standard jewel case.

DJ? Acucrack is an electronic music duo based in Chicago, Illinois. DJ? Acucrack was formed by Jason Novak and Jamie Duffy as an Acumen Nation drum n' bass side project.

Their first two releases — Nation State and Mutants of Sound — appeared on the CMJ RPM year end charts for 1998.

PlatEAU is an electronic music project featuring cEvin Key and Phil Western. The project resembles a very loose approach to the Download project featuring the same members. The song names and album titles refer to the coffeeshop culture of Amsterdam in The Netherlands implying a "trip" through their musical voyages. The album art also reflects this concept with imagery on their first release on Hypnotic Records in 1997, Music for Grass Bars. This release had a special CD jewel case in order to create a holographic-motion effect with the cover art insert. The genre is most closely related to IDM, experimental, techno and trip hop.
