Inlay notes:
"These are the journeys of Coldcut, scientist of sound, primordial dancefloor hooligans and intrepid explorers of the realms of the Deep Groove. Matt Black and Jonathan More's epic ventures into turntable tricknology have spanned the many varied domains of dance, enticing generation after funky generation to do their own thing and get on the Left Foot. With the help of PC and Strictly Kev, Coldcut have prepared for you an exquisite 70 minute banquet for the taste-buds that live in your ears. This is not a mechanical mix of four-to-da-floor bland-bag house tracks-its style. It's more inspired by classic mix records such as Double D and Steinski's "Lessons (1-3)" and Grandmaster Flash's "Adventures on the Wheels of Steel", and derived from the mastermix tradition pioneered by DJ's such as Shep Pettibone on New Yorks' original Kiss FM. You are served a intensive mix of beatnological manipulation and melody, containing a selection of the many different terrains of todays' musical Soundscape. Step out of the dark and into the Night with the inspirational Illuminati of Hedfunk, taking you where few turntable terrorists dare to tread.

To tha break o'dawn. Rock om."

Review by quaestor Nov 07, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
I've still never heard any mix come close to this. The technical quality, tune selection, variety, incidentals and samples are all on the button, but Coldcut have something more. They do not merely mix, they perform alchemy, and the result is ten times the sum of its parts. Everyone should hear this, no matter what style of music they normally listen to.
Rated 5/5

Hands down one of the best mixes EVER!!!!! Warm, fuzzy, funky, freaky, stony- the mix between the Gescom and MAW is mindblowing, not to mention Luke Slater's strings fading into the outro...Thanks Radio FG for playing this whole CD back in the day- still have it on tape!
Review by Rob_Clarke Oct 31, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
It's hard to believe that this mix is ten years old, it left me absolutely shell shocked when I first heard it and it still excites today. Despite featuring several records at the wrong speed, all sorts of random samples, and even the Dr Who theme it never feels like it's resorting to stunts. The choice of tracks is genuinely original and unlike many 'cut and paste' mixes the whole thing flows superbly from start to finish. One of the few mix albums that can be considered a genuine classic.
Rated 5/5
Review by Not-forgotten Jul 08, 2003
Probably the stand out mix of the series. Very cut n paste type mixing. I'm quite sure I read somewhere they did this mix in one hit. If you like Shadow or Yoda - give this mix a listen
