4 out of 5 stars For the Newcomers.......2002-04-23

This album is a great peek into the strange world of UK Garage. Part R&B and part Techno Break Beat. Fans of producers like Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, and the Neptunes may be interested to find out where that 'hiccuppy' style of beatmaking originated. Doesn't matter if they won't admit it, one listen at this genre or even it's history will tell the truth.

This album starts off with the 'flagship' stars of 2-step himself, Mr. Craig David and Artful Dodger's "Re-Rewind". It then journeys into more obscure classics. Definitely alot more interesting than those two step albums where all the tracks are just two-step remixes of American Music.

The mixing could be tighter but all in all this album is fun and entertaining. If you like this then I strongly reccomend music by So Solid, Craig David and Artful Dodger.

If you're just finding this don't bother, not essential

4 out of 5 stars Gah! SO Dope!.......2001-08-20

This CD, this genre is fantastic. With this CD I hear my first taste of 2-step, and I am totally hooked. The production on these tracks is fantastic, the beats are so flashy. They're kinda twitchy too, like 16-note "bump-bumps" on the bass beats. Most of these tracks are groovy as hell. As much as I love jungle/drumnbass, its a bit tired right now, and 2-step is the perfect distraction... If you dig both drumnbass and house, you will love this stuff... if you love one or the other, I'm sure you can find a compromise. 4 stars because there is some melodic stuff I don't agree with (that piano thing ~track 12)

5 out of 5 stars An excellent compilation.......2001-08-04

Not much two-step is available in the States these days, though much is on the way. But this compilation is an excellent introduction to the style. More sophisticated than House, more emotional than Techno, but not tech-house. I like it!

3 out of 5 stars The cover photo is a strong hint........2001-07-22

This is not music to listen to, at least not when you're sober. The repetition will drive you nuts. However it's ideal as a cutting-edge, pulsating, earthy backdrop to other social activities that some people find more enjoyable after downing certain substances, hopefully all of them legal.
