Rated 4/5

Review by glennevo Feb 08, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

A great release, combining a deeper summery feel with a darker tech element brilliantly. CD1 leans towards the former, pulling out some classic deep tunes (it's been too long since I'd heard Ad Finem's "If You Fall") most notably Natural Rhythm's "We All Got Soul" to great effect. CD 2 brings a great techy yet funky and laid back tip with my highlight being Outta Limits' "Mission Control" and Tribalation's lengthy "Look Behind Your Eyes".

Seamless to me seems to be the new, mix version of Hed Kandi, premium packaging through their "Bargrooves" series, with a lot of thought put towards the theming of each individual CD and the different subsets as a whole. Quality without reverting to the latest hits...Bravo!!
