Round One To Round Five - 1993-99 Main Street Records Review by mmk1138 Mar 02, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
While I really enjoy this record, I rarely play it as a whole. The first two tracks are okay, but the essence comes with those featuring Tikiman (now using his real name Paul St. Hilaire). "Acting Crazy" is both danceable and highly atmospheric (which you could probably say about most songs from the Basic Channel family catalogue), with Paul's emotional interpretation perfectly fitting hypnotic techdub surroundings. This has to be one of my very favourite "around-BC" tunes ever. "Find A Way" is a masterpiece, too. Even more melancholic, it takes you on a trip you will never forget. Hazy dub "Ne Fa Throw It" sounds like a Rhythm & Sound at-once-classic. Instrumentals are also not to be skipped. Highly recommended collection.

Round One To Round Five - 1993-99 Main Street Records Review by baj Jun 19, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This collection is totally essential for any fans of Maurizio and friends. All of the tracks are great, though my favorites are I'm Your Brother, New Day and Find a Way- both versions for each.

The standout track for me is the Maurizio (Quadrant Dub II) remix of I'm Your Brother. It's a religious experience, my favorite Maurizio track (even better than Domina). The synth flourish about 1/2 way is one of those "pearly gates" moments - but in typical Maurizio style, without any dressing. There's an exceptionally natural flow to the whole track.

The Club mixes of I'm Your Brother and New Day are early/mid-90's classic, tight, jackin, garagey, NY meets Chitown vocal house.

Round One To Round Five - 1993-99 Main Street Records Review by JonnieDarko May 01, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
An amazing & fine collection of the Round series twelves from '93 - '99 with the deep 'Basic Channel' trademarks but assigning their talents to deep garage in 'I'm your Brother' A Deep House/Garage ANTHEM, along with 'New Day'("Give me your love, give me your love, tell me that you need it...") both sung with spine-tingling beauty by Andy Caine. Then, on the album we have the talents of Tikiman for 'Acting Crazy', basically 'M6' with lyrics("Baby you Acting Crazy, tings haven't been very bright lately"..)COOL!.A great tune. 'Find A Way' is my favourite from Tikiman,a real DUB tribute,Ernestus & Maurizio are the 'constructors' of sound & know how to create REAL music. The album finishes nicely with 'Na Fe Throw It' a slow sleeper track(again with Tikiman). All tracks also have a VERSION of them (w/o lyrics for those unfamiliar with dub)Truly somnolent & in the Basic Channel tradition. A Classic album!!
