Review by steady-j Aug 06, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

As usual for this period, a double album that contains a mixture of classic tracks (Keynotes, T-Cut-F, Black Riot, Saunderson, Mayday), decent stuff from the time (Mac Thornhill, Cappella, House Gang, M-D-Emm), and pure filler (NS Connection, Charm, Phoenix - see how many more tracks you can spot from these artists anywhere in discogs!) in almost equal measure. Essential only if you are missing any of the first category. Oh, and the breaks and beats on the fourth side are mostly rubbish, even at the time, sounding nothing like decent chicago or detroit house or techno, and not even up to the standards of some of the chancers making LP fillers and dodgy major label UK-"house" remixes at the time.
No great surprise that the label never surfaced again as far as I can tell.
