This CD is well mixed, but doesn’t grab me like some of the other breaks compilations I’ve listened to lately. That’s not to say that this is a bad album, by any stretch of the imagination; it’s listenable and enjoyable, but is just “good” as opposed to “amazing”. For example, it’s not as clever as Perfecto Breaks Vol 1, mixed by Lee Coombs, nor is it as “cool” and dance floor orientated as hedonizm by Ellis Dee, but it will have you grooving along for most of the time.

The first track is Pilgrem’s own remix of Timo Maas Help Me featuring Kelis on vocals. This tune takes some while to get into it, but then cruises along nicely with a rolling bassline that carries the listener into the rest of the CD. Most of the tunes are examples of “tech-breaks”, with a perfect example being BLIM’s Dust, which rolls along but doesn’t really go anywhere until the middle, when the infamous Apache break drops and gets the head moving. From this point on the album seems to pick up the pace, with tunes like Rollin n Controllin by Silencer and the very good U Know Y by Moguai.

Pilgrem remixes most of the tunes on this CD, and you’ll find him adding his own little touches throughout, such as dropping snippets of Goldtrix’s It’s Love (Trippin) during Zero’s Emit/Collect, which he also mixes to great effect with Koma and Bones’ Donkey Spanner. There are also lots of effects and cross mixes that are used very well across the whole album. The album ends on a rather “housey” note with Pilgrem’s Tripped-Out mix of Turning It On by Mara.

The album is enjoyable, and Pilgrem is a damn good DJ, but there’s something about this CD that makes me rate it a little lower than other CD’s I’ve listened to lately. Maybe I’ve been over-saturated with the stuff, and this doesn’t shine as much as I expected it to, but I would say to any fan of breaks to give it a listen and make up their own mind.
