Disappointing.......2006-04-09

Over the last few years, Full Cycle has changed its sound a lot. While it was very subtle, funky, jazzy, even smooth at the beginning (for example the all time classic "New Forms"), they have become much harder since then. However, they still produced a lot of good songs, and DJ Die was the man for the catchy melodies. Indeed, beside Roni Size, he was my favourite at Full Cycle.

This CD is a disappointment, however. There are only very few really good tracks on it, and otherwise it is very repetitive and very hard. Hard is fine if you mix it up with some good tunes, but Die does not give you anytime to relax, and outside of a club, this is not so good. Maybe its a good mix if you want to give a DnB-party, but if you want to listen to it at home or whereever, it is too repetitive, almost dull.

I hope his next mix is better. Until then, buy the new CD's of Hype, Marky, J Majik or Zinc.

Full Cycle strikes again........2005-04-09

I wasn't disappointed in the least after listening to "Cross Collaborations". I actually liked it better than Die's "Through The Eyes" mix. The flow of the CD sets this DJ mix apart from a few of the latest mixes I've purchased (Bass Invaderz/ Metalheadz 04/ Skool of Hard Knocks). I'm not totally up on all the "step" variations, but I know Full Cycle definitely has a distinctive sound, toeing that fine line between dark and dancey, but nearly always heavy. I'd give you my favorite tracks, but any mix album is meant to be played in it's entirety. I highly recommend you let the CD play straight through on the first listen... and let it KNOCK! I think you'll be well pleased. If you're into lighter breakbeat check SUV's mix (I think it's called "Sounds of Brasil" or something like that outside of the US). Skool of Hard Knocks is devasting on the dark side, as well as Destruction Ritual.
