While I don't pretend to understand the title, this second mix CD from the tyrant boys is the best thing i've heard all year. Craig Richards and Lee Burridge are doing well enough for themselves in the UK, and I'm glad they've found the time to put together another Tyrant CD.
Even better yet, it's a double CD. Twice the lovin'. Grooving house and breakbeats, with a lean towards the progressive without stepping through that door. While the selection of tracks is great, the mixing is mint. Smooth as Smooth can be.

I've been a fan of most of these DJ's (Lee is the bomb) for quite some time now. This CD doesn't disappoint...its still worth the wait if you don't live by a cool enough record shop that carries the CD. Some of these mixes I have not even heard before and I consider myself a elctronic music elitist. I really like it a lot...buy this. Its the real deal.

Lee and Craig did a rare thing and teamed up on both disks. Unlike the unsaul arangement of one mixing the first disk, and the other doing the chore on the second, they mixed each disk together working on track selection and final mixing/mastering.

cd 1 one was favorite compilation disc of the last 2 years. dubby, trippy house and breaks. i actually copied these cd's from my friends. I was wondering if anyone could tell me who mixes each disc? I think craig has the first and lee the second. let me know. thanks!

If you into chilling and taking it easy then this is freakin' great. This is especially killer right before your getting your groove on, put on Tyrant 2 and your sure to score with your lady or the girl you have paid for an hour. I'm personally more a Craig Richards fan, he does a solid job mixing back and forth some laid-back tunes. Definitely worth your time.

One word... Chill. These CDs have great flow, so most of the time even if you can tell a new song is coming in, it sounds like it fits well with the song before. A few times I couldn't even tell that a new song was coming in at all, so obviously the mixes are pretty clean (computer generated maybe?). Not a whole lot of ups and downs throughout either of the albums. It's a little bit monotonous at times, and doesn't really pick you up or bring you down. Even still, most of the songs are quite cool, with a new L.A. style breaks/house/trance/tribal sound. Definitely worth having just for the style, as this is getting pretty big in the L.A. scene. Overall, I would definitely recommend this CD set.
