I purchased this cd the day it came out. If you like the first community service album, this one blows it away. There is not one slow track on this disk. TCM is coming through my town and I cannot wait to go see them! If you are a Doors fan, this CD is a must for their Roadhouse Blues Remix.

Crystal Method showed us their skills as DJs in addition to producing on their 2001 mix, "Community Service", They're back at it with this offering, and they don't disappoint! Rising stars like Evil Nine and Elite Force feature alongside "names" you may recognize like Koma + Bones and Meat Katie. The breaks are relentless, not slowing until the final cut, and the track selection and transitions are excellent. The disc is worth hearing for several reasons: Like their last mix, TCM serves to expose you to new talented producers that you might enjoy hearing more from. Also, this is the place to get the unreleased Crystal Method track "Kalifornia" (which has a dark, urban feel similar to the style of both Vegas and Tweekend), as well as their awesome rocking remix of the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" and a respectable take on New Order's classic "Bizarre Love Triangle". The only down moment comes in the form of the final cut, New Originals' remix of the Smashing Pumpkins' "1979", which borrows extensively from the original without adding anything special or new, and is also the most subdued track on the mix...a necessary come-down from the beats?

4.0 out of 5 stars BEEzare Love Triangle, April 9, 2005

Just wanted to say I was hesitant about buying this CD because though I love electronic music...sometimes lately its' hit and miss. The CD is full of energy and beauty. Fans of Crystal Method's grooves will not be disappointed. But, what if you are a fan of Smashing Pumpkins or New Order only (two tracks mixed on this CD). Both Smashing Pumpkins "1979" and New Orders "Bizarre Love Triangle" are bait for fans of both bands because they are two of best songs in an awespiring catelog of music. I kept checking these reviews hoping somebody would comment on these two mixes. On this CD the lyrics are pretty much axed on the pumpkins "1979" but the song is cool just barely any of the lyrics make the cut. Whereas, if you are a fan of New Order the Crystal Method saves the day with a mesmerizing mix of Bizarre Love Triangle with all the lyrics in tact. The album is non-stop energy and though I hoped all lyrics would be in the 1979 mix. The New Order Track is worth the price of the CD alone for fans of New Order/Joy Division. I blindly bought the CD and rode away gleaming with the mix and killer Crystal Method tracks. Hope those in doubt but fans of the two bands find this review useful.
