Seriously I had just written a massive review for this CD and it was just eaten by cyber space aaahhhh! So to quote the vocal from Vandal's Mad As Hell (my favourite track on this mix) I'm as mad as hell!!!!

This mix is an absolute corker and my best buy for the year so far I have been giving it a caning and a couple of my mates that heard it went out and bought it too.

So to keep it brief standout tracks are 1 (great electro style vocal), 3, MK's rework of Better World with the Reign acapella is inspired stuff and comes off very well. Tracks 9(get ready to Testify!) and 11 are also great, I really like MK's remix of Salty much more grunt and dirt to it with a Male vocal than the original. Then followed by Vandal's Mad As Hell this track should be huge and will undoubtedly get a thrashing from other DJs at a club near you soon. I just can't help but get pumped byt the breakdown in this track.
Finally shine a light brings a fantastic mix to a fitting conclusion its structured more a song than a dance track but it works well and gives an insight to Atomic Hooligan who if you haven't heard some of their other stuff that will undoubtedly change soon with their new release out now.

This is a diverse mix of a variety of styles broken whipped and twisted into a dancefloor inspired cranking release.

Big Up's Mr Pemeber you have excelled yet again!!!

For those people who appreciate Break beat this album is a must have!!!! The fines break beat album since "Eargasm" (Plump DJs) and "Stanton Sessions" (Stanton Warriors).

This album is my personal favourite alongside FabricLive 08 (Plump DJs) from the whole Fabric and FabricLive series! People who like d'n'b might also find it interesting.

This is an awful cd...I was looking for drum and base and i found breakbeats that you can dance too...and i love adam freeland. This is way to house music sounding ...i hate this cd..if your looking for a darker breakbeat get evil nine's fabric live..I'm ashamed i got this

Meat Katie delivers an awesome experience with this mix cd. There are a lot of individually strong tracks on the cd that make it worth purchasing alone. When brought altogether in a continuous mix however the cd really shines as a highly energetic and well crafted mix.

If you are a fan of funky and hard-edged breaks this should be among your next purchases.

I enjoyed it thoroughly, good, dark, heavy breaks. Crank it on the sub, this is quality music.

Meat Katie is a great breaks DJ. I could give it 5 stars but nothing is perfect.

I got this when it was released because I had just heard Lee Coombs spin "Mad As Hell" at a live show. Any cut that features Peter Finch's classic monologue from "Network" is worth the price of admission.

There are a lot of other great cuts on this CD though. The ones that stand out for me are

Banned Practice- Very 80's retro. I'm not sure who the vocal sample is from. My first guess would be Peter Murphy of Bauhaus fame, but it might be Jim Kerr of Simple Minds. Regardless, it sticks in my head until I put this CD in and play it in its entirety.

Mismoplastico- This cut sounds like it belongs on a Deep Dish compilation, except it has a breakbeat. Very nice.

Shadow Box- Great bass hook and floor tom sound. Love it.

Salty (Meat Katie Remix)- Great remix of this classic.

Mad As Hell- The reason I bought the CD in the first place. This is a perfect example of the sample carrying the song. The main groove is good, but the build section with the sample kicks. Imagine a room full of people screaming "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!" Ironically, the effect the words had in the movie have a similar effect on the dance floor.

All in all a great CD.

I really haven't listened to much to this album. I don't think that it caught me, so it's on the stacks of "selling on Amazon.com".

Love this CD. One of the top ten in my collection. Funky, smooth breaks, driving beats, new fresh grooves. This will keep you rollin all night. If you like this CD, also try, Deep Dish Yoshiesque, or Lee Coombs Breakfast of Champions.
