CD Reviews

Not as good as the old school
R. Miller | New York, NY United States | 11/02/1999
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I am a fan of DJ JK, and greatly anticipated this CD, but I don't much care for his track selection on this one. The mixing is amazing of course. However, there are only a few highlights, and good build-ups. It's more of a smooth flowing but ordinary non-inspiring music mix CD. Much like Knee Deep. And yes, after every DJ in the world included 'That Zipper Track' in their sets, I've become tired of it. I'm still waiting for some return to the perfection he acheived in the first two infamous mixes."
Rhythmn and groove to move you

"How much you like this disc will be determined by how much you will enjoy a mix that favors rhythm, groove and repetition over melody. This disc maintains a sound of not-quite-breaks/not-too-funky beats that keep a steady pace for over an hour. Indeed the first 3 tracks and ten minutes keep you pleasantly nodding along before "Bombay" comes in to shake things up. But then it's back to that constant groove again before things pick up with "Silicon Valley" which serves more as an intro to Jack Prongo's smash "Movin Thru Your System" and continuing the energy with "Tub" and the funky "that Zipper Track". Things scale back just a bit over the next few tracks before kicking up once again with another high point "Independence". It finally comes to an end with the slower and bouncy "Give it up" and "Inter Primate Express".It's lack of melody and occasional funk makes this a disc requiring just the right mood to play it. But when you DO want that cheese-free, pounding groove this mix shines brightly. Highly recommended."
Funky techno

"I really recommend this album for someone who likes something a little bit harder. The tracks are excellent and the mixing is creative. Starts off fairly slow then progresses harder and faster and finishes off a bit mellow and uplifting at the end."
