Youngman is truly a pioneer of the Chicago jackin' house scene, and this record is just one of those that proves it. Bless My Soul is the standout track, with the classic jackin' drum sound and sampling. The melody is mainly piano-sampled with vocals cutting in and out, but a nice sax solo sits itself in the middle, making this one thumping, jazzy tune. Submission is a tad more subdued, but still jazzy, with great vocal snippets and some sax riffs thrown in. Friends 'Til the End displays Joey's darker jackin' side, so if you're into the heavier stuff, this track is for you. An integral release to the Fetish catalogue.

Must say, one of the essential Funky Breakz tracks of 2006! The A side "Bless My Soul" grooves along with some infectious piano flourishes and bass stabs to make it peak hour material; very upbeat track. On the flip side, "Submission" makes this record a done deal with a very chilled-out jazzy beat, vocal one-shots and filtered pianos. To finish it off, "Friends 'Til The End" dips into a little bit darker territory with some low-end synth work, deep bass and melodic tunes. This record is must for anyone collecting breakbeats!
