5.0 out of 5 stars Breaks without the tweaks, July 31, 2001

This review is from: DJ Icey: Funky Breaks (Audio CD)

As someone that grew up in Orlando, FL I have been around the breaks sounds since the beginning. The breaks I like are captured on this CD. The basslines carry the tracks. In so much of the breaks style the tweak effects seem to try to carry the load. What you end up with is knobaholics that lose the essence of their track cause they can't stop touching the knobs.

But this CD offers the sound that captures a blend of the ragga breaks and the original breaks sound that Icey pressed on early Zone recordings.

A must have for three reasons: 1-It sounds good 2-There's not many breaks CDs like this one 3-It captures some of the history of breaks

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique masterpiece and an instant classic !!!!!!, October 2, 2001

Florida Breaks at it's best. Simple and extremely groovy. That's what we call Icey Breaks. I have this Cd since years but it never looses it's charm. This was the first Breaks mix I ever heard and it is the reason that I still listen to Breaks.
It is the original Florida Sound that can't be copied. Anybody with an understanding for electronic music should enjoy this CD.
