4.0 out of 5 stars Simply wicked, June 4, 2002

By	Dave Lowndes (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews

This is exactly the sort of house that I'm looking for all the time. I never heard of Felix the Housecat until I started delving into Miss Kitten, Golden Boy, et al but am so far quite impressed. Right mix of deep house, light house, pumping beats and progressive even? Anyway, mix goes all over the place which keeps me interested. I recommend it as it's the best I've heard in a while. Somewhat of a cross between Danny Tenaglia and Daft Punk? Not exactly a party album as it tends to slow down in places bu fun nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still my favorite Felix mix., January 21, 2010

By	S. P. - See all my reviews

These are choice electro songs, some of which Felix da Housecat obviously chose for their nostalgic value. Some are quite beautiful (We In Music's track is perfection), and all are keeping with the overdone glitz and cheesy angst that define the electro genre.

I don't know what the other reviewers are complaining about. The mixing is fine. It's electroclash, it's meant to be dirty, fuzzy, lo-fi, what have you. But make no mistake, these tracks FLOW tightly and impeccably into one another. For how different they are, that's a feat that not many could pull off, but Felix does it.

A gorgeous blend with the usual suspects (no surprises here: Ladytron, Miss Kittin, Zoot Woman, and even an appearance from Felix's alter-ago, Aphrohead) that's perfect for chilling or dancing or driving. I own every single Felix album released and this one is definitely one of his best, especially for those wanting some less abrasive electroclash.

3.0 out of 5 stars not a great mix, February 8, 2008

By	Curmudgeon "grantc" (West Australia) - See all my reviews

Some good tracks but poor mixing, and the mix remains choppy and doesn't build. Haven't played this in a couple of years, a sure sign it's no keeper.
