Generally it follows in the style of the UK Zen records - who generally have a stronger roster and I'd recommend the Xen Cuts over this release.
I find this a very nice Downtempo mix, it is not essential but still very solid - and very much in the vein of similar other releases of downtempo from 1997.
This is released on Ubiquity and I have to say that the luv n' haight selections on ubiquity are probably stronger selections.
It does have the Bay sound or southern California vibe - a little bit greyboy meets DJ Food.
