Perfectly

"Sublime.
If you need to dance, relax, enjoy an intimate evening, or drive for an hour, this is the best cd to take along.
It takes you from deep jazz to dreamy tech house and back to funky driving minimal beats.
Terry may not be the best mixer, but he sure has great taste in the music he plays. Hats off to TLB Jr."
Mines the rarely explored region of minimal house

"Producer, DJ, and Germany's Norman Feller in disguise, Terry Lee Brown steers his third volume of the Café series away from techier waters, opting to mine the rarely explored region of minimal house, diva-less and without the deep-leaning pleasantries that veer towards wallpaper lounge. Here the focus is on warm ambience, of soft hues to color subtle tracks, yet with sounds perpetually floating through to keep the mix engaging.Darn near flawless from the get-go, Brown digs deep in the record crates for his picks; only a star Theorem/Swayzak collaboration, the expectedly mellow mover "Day From Hell," blips onto the known radar. Hushed, restrained at times with tunes like "Fig" settling softly in the air, swelling with muted kick ("Locked to Fantasy" "Monk Sea") when hazy complacency threatens to slnk in. Add some Brazillian bite in the middle courtesy Debaser Boy and energy upswing near the end with the double-wide bassline "Tropika" and you complete a top-notch ride. Which shows you how much startlingly wonderful music is out there for artists willing to explore beyond the critic-approved or club-friendly guideposts. Stretch on the sofa and enjoy."
Great CD

"Terry Lee Brown is my favourite DJ. He mixes great music and really takes you on a journey in each compilation.
I love this CD, each song is perfectly balanced with the one before and the one to follow.
I also highly recommend this CD and Terry's Cafe 4 and 6. My personal picks:)
