4.0 out of 5 stars Seamless hits mix from the UK Garage scene., April 12, 2000

This "mix" by hit producers The Artful Dodger (the mix is utterly seamless and so probably done on a computer) is a primer for the latest in UK Garage which emphasizes the 2-Step beat that has taken over and transformed what was formerly (and inappropriately) called "Speed Garage." Be prepared for American-style RnB vocals, Ragga MCs, house textures, and the infectious 2-Step groove. Most of the scene's non-white label anthems are here along with a few 4-to-the-floor standards from '97-'98.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rewind The Sound Of UK garage, April 24, 2000

By 

Tim Robinson (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rewind: Sound of UK Garage (Audio CD)

The First CD of this compilation is probably the best bit of mixing i have heard. With classic cuts such as the title track Rewind and B15 project-Girls Like This make this a classic garage CD. The second CD is a bit dodgy but can pass through as being alright. Check out the remix of Paul Johnson-Get Down which is another classic cut. If you're into garage buy this now, but if you're not you'd better give it a miss.

I love Arful Dodger. You never know what kind of new sounds will come out when they mix/scratch from their diverse music collection of house, hip-hop, raggae, and r&B. However, on this REWIND album, it sounds like the DJs just selected popular house/garage tunes and put it together using either a computer or just simple beat-match mixing between each songs. The music is good--solid house/garage music good for experimentation. I wish Artful Dodger could have show-cased their talents for creativity with the songs they picked out. But, unfortunately, most songs remain untouched, un-explored, un-experimented, but only to be played in their original, and most popular versions. Also, one thing lacking in this album is the use of old-skool hip-hop and older (US) house music. A mixture of new and old would have been great. But instead, the album contains only relatively new songs. MAybe I am demanding too much. Perhaps it's because I've heard these tunes so many times before, I am asking for something more unique and creative. I expected more from Artful DOdgers because I know they are excellent. If you are new to garage music, this is actually a good album to have. If you own several UK garage albums, you might take a look at the song list before buying this. Many songs have been on several compilation albums already. By the way, I find disc 2 to be more "house" than "garage."
