say hooo-raaay! i belive in music again! it's fresh and funny and this is what i like. tom and jerry dancing on the wall during the hip-hop party, mr scruff lemon jelly and quantic at the same time, well done masters, you get the maximum points. and a dancing jerry as a bonus.

lee combs and drummatic twins - tribal tension ***
thrust, january 2004

A1: Tribal tension (lee coombs mix)
B2: Tribal tension (Dj buck remix)

stupid breakbeat track. this lee combs rhythm is used so many times, almost to death, there's nothing really special in it, so next one please.

laurent garnier - the man with the red face **
2004 remixes

mix 1
mix 2

nothing really special. breakbeat cover of the well known track. boring.

Kyle vs Timo - Overdrive ***
white label bootleg

I can do it too. Get yourself the vocal of a hit song and mix with a breakbeat anthem, the right recipe for a party track. Average product.

1. The Chokin' Kind
2. Super Duper Love
3. Fell In Love With A Boy

5. Dirty Man
6. Some Kind Of Wonderful
7. I've Fallen In Love With You
8. I Had A Dream

janis's back to earth! this little girl's just 17 and sings like a black 40 y old diva. respect! ok, the music isn't special, just the good old classics, but the way she's interpretating these songs. alicia keys, nikka costa, mckay even whitney and aretha: you should be afraid of this talent!

Boom Bip - From Left to Right */*****

A01 FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
A02 LAST WALK AROUND MIRROR LAKE (BOARDS OF CANADA REMIX)
B01 THE UNTHINKABLE FEAT BUCK65 (VENETIAN SNARES REMIX)
B02 CLOSED SHOULDERS (CLOUDDEAD REMIX)

lex isn't my fave label. but this EP contains a hidden wonder. it's called A02.

Chaka Khan - Feel For You
warner, 1984

1. This Is My Night
2. Stronger Than Before
3. My Love Is Alive
4. Eye to Eye
5. Flamme
6. I Feel for You
7. Hold Her
8. Through the Fire
9. Caught in the Act
10. Chinatown

good old classics for this crazy day. chaka's one of my old faves, i like the way how she smiles on the covers, how she sings deep from heart and soul. i liked this album in 1984. i liked it in 1994 again. and if you feel some periodic feelings for her yes its true it's time to feel for chaka again. anyway feel for you's a massive prebreakbeat tune theres no question.

epic, november 2003

2. Dance (With U) (Radio Edit)
3. Fresh

lemar bought my soul. my rhythm and my blues. ok, this album is full of glam and there won't be any panties dry but i think it's quite o.k. high class arrangement spiced with soft and natural black male voice and nice melodies. this is quality pop. music for my sis.
