"old seb suprised me with this cd set. a friend had told me about seb and so i thought that i would check him out, and boy did this set kick. the first cd is supposed to give you a feel of what a typical night at cream is like, which was cool, even if the songs were old, but the 2nd cd gives a feel of what was coming into the world of music, and it more than once gave me chills. the only thing i didn't like was the way heavens scent was used as a tranistion. the track is more of a stopper song, where you look around you at the end of a party and realize the love you have for the people around you, sharing this moment with you. i don't know, i just thought that it cold have been put in later to a greater effect, but besides that, very awesome set. get this if you want to know what music is like in the uk. 5 stars."

Is this really Seb's?

"This Seb's album is not as great as his 3 GU Prototypes. The mixing is good, some of the tracks are excellent (CD 2 : track 1&2), but most of both CDs is commercial and repetitive. The overall impression is not what we usually expect from this great DJ. But, for me, it is psychologically difficult to rate Seb less than 4 stars (even if this one deserves 3)."

"2000 turned out to be the year of progressive trance/house, and Seb's addition to the Resident series perfectly captures that. Following Paul Oakenfold as resident of Cream was probably the hardest task for any DJ, but Seb Fontaine pulls it off with apparent ease. This CD marks the second in the Resident series; while a bit behind the Oakenfold one in smoothness and quality (and who could top that anyway?), it sure holds its own. CD One is entitled "Looking Back" and draws in the likes of Trancesetter, Timo Maas and Leftfield in a mix of the type of tracks that got Seb in the frame first of all. CD Two is "Looking Forward" and includes the tracks that have Seb`s blessings for the future. A fitting testimony to someone who has achieved success through merit alone. Containing many white labels (i.e. Timo Maas' "Ubik") it pumps out the sound of what many will hear every Saturday at Cream`s home, Nation in Liverpool. So my fellow Americans, if you would like a sampler of what Brits are dancin' to right now (and some awesome current dance music), do yourself a favour and pick this up!"
