"I would imagine a CD of this caliber deserves a lot more reviews. I cannot say further to what has already been mentioned about this CD, by the other people who have reviewed, but that in recent times, This is a very honest, tight mix from Mr. Farina. ( yep that's Mister ! :))
run through sound samples ( from track 2, track 6 Track 8), you will know what i am talking about.
Very cool stuff"
A return to form

"This is a great Mark Farina cd! His past two releases--House of Om, and Sessions--were, for me, disappointing in that they were indistinguishable from other artist mixes. They were fine, but forgettable. Ordinary.
But this mix features all that is great about his best work: the chunky, jazzy funk with the occasional vocals, the tv announcer samples, the organ and sax, etc. It's got some personality, it's fun, it builds, it turns...just like you've come to expect from him through his earlier mixes. It's like a Mushroom Jazz mix that's juiced up a notch or two. Your head will bobbing the whole way."
Awesome Tracks

"I heard a sample of this album at an airport terminal and was blown away by the mixes of mushroom jazz and house. This album is awesome. I recommend it for chillin' with your friends, throwing a get together, or any social gathering. It makes you feel like you're at a upscale cafe sipping on some martinis. It really gets the crowd going. Listen to it and you'll know what I'm talking about..."
Mark Farina is back

"Mark Farina has many styles but the one he's best at is funky, dirty, jackin, and lets not forget soulful house. This album is a prime example of a Mark Farina set (also convenient that it is a live set from Tokyo)...but I digress...this is a great album. As soon as you play it, the party will begin...kudos to Mr. Farina."
