Review by Meltdown_01 Mar 03, 2008
Only two words "Sweet Dreamz". Dj Crystl is one of my favorite Jungle producers of all times and he´s one of the most mysterious and secret producers too. He has released so many unique and pure beauty tracks like "Sweet Dreamz", "Paradise", "Let it roll", "Live EP", "Meditation" etc.
No other producer has reached such a high level of production skillz and deepness and in opposite to other producers like Bukem, Peshay, DJ Hype etc. he never went to the "commercial" side of DnB which followed some years later. "Sweet Dreamz" is still his deepest and finest cut of all times and my personal favorite of him. The track has very dynamic drum samples which fits perfect to the snythesizer sounds which creates vibes of pure deepness. It is hard to describe that in words but if you listen to that you´ll know what I mean. This track really sends me outta space without taking any substancez. Recommened! If you love jungle then this record MUST be in your record collection. Peace!
Rated 5/5

If the art of art itself is to draw people into an alternate reality, or to suspend reality just long enough for it to register inside your mind as an actual life experience, then "Sweet Dreams" is an all time personal favourite of mine. Like all truly great tracks you hear throughout your life, you may be able to remember when you first heard them, but they feel as if they have been around forever.
Even now I get chills just thinking about this tune, it's haunting and breathtaking and its scope seems unfathomable.

That's a real life experience and I can't ask for more than that, thankyou!

This record really was one of me & my mate's favourite records during the mid-nineties; We both loved "Sweet Dreamz" at the time, and did so for numerous years that followed. However, as the years go on, I think "Your Destiny" has maintained more relevance with it's brooding synth pads, eerie sounds and distorted amen drumming.
Rated 5/5

This is really one of the best releases by Crystl. The epic track "Sweet Dreamz" is one of the most hypnotic & soothing d&b tunes I´ve ever heard while "Your Destiny" is a wicked dark piece of sinister sounds and chopped up amen breaks. This one you have to own, no doubt about it...
