5.0 out of 5 stars Baby Anne brings another bangin' breaks cd...., November 26, 2005

By	Brandon Wiggins "Glass Onion Child" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Now there are two ways to rate this double-disc set:

1)Average the good disc and the not so good disc and give the two as a whole a mediocre rating.

OR

2)Realize you only paid for 1 disc anyway and one of the discs is definately good. (I'm choosing this one....obviously)

DJ Baby Anne (Assault) brings another great breaks disc that is every bit as good as Mixtress. The mixing here is excellent as always and there are definately some really nice tracks you'll be listening to for a while. (really liking 'Fear 2' and 'Dementia' right now)

As for Jen Lasher (Battery) I, too, am a little confused at this pairing with DJ Baby Anne. Her mix is *odd* to say the least. It starts out with a poppy 80s feel mix and by track 8 starts moving into this darker sound that teeters on the edge of being full blown Electroclash. (I'm not saying that is all bad....I especially like tracks 10 and 13) Basically, this disc could be enjoyed, but not when you want to listen to Baby Anne's stuff. The two discs simply do not complement each other very well. (A LOT of vocals on this disc)

Conclusion, if your a Baby Anne fan, buy it for DJ Baby Anne's disc. Its definately worth it. 5 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW I'm in Heaven, March 2, 2006

By	Feed Me Beats (NYC) - See all my reviews

You can always count on Baby Anne to bring the funk. Assault and Battery is no exception. What's great about this cd is that Jen Lasher steps up and brings a solid mix also.

Highlight tracks:

Baby Anne - She's the Devil
Mylo - Drop the Pressure (Future Funk Squad Mix)
Baby Anne - Dementia
Jen Lasher - No More Tears

This is a must have for anyone breaks fan!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Split Personality, February 22, 2006

By	Adam Capps "electropop fiend" (Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first cd from Baby Anne is fairly typical florida breaks fare. I wouldn't claim that's a bad thing, but don't expect to be surprised if you're familiar with the genre. Overall it's a solid offering from Baby Anne and delivers the bass.

The second cd is a surprising mix from Jen Lasher, who has abandoned her old breakbeat sound and fully adopted a more electro feel. To those who have labeled this "industrial" I will say first and foremost that you are wrong. There is not one remotely industrial track on the cd. What she does provide is an extremely varied mix of synthpop, house, and a couple breaks tracks, all very vocal and sporting an electro pop flare, sometimes approaching the full-on ny electroclash sound. From someone quite familiar with electropop artists I can't recommend highly enough this diverse mix guaranteed to please newcomers and electro afficianados alike.

My only complaint is the strikingly misplaced Wolfsheim track, which I can only assume fueled the misguided and completely false Depeche Mode comparison from another reviewer.
