Reviews & Discussion: Unfortunately this Polska release falls miles short of his work on Inperspective, Subtle Audio and Counter Intelligence. Normally the standard is very high for Breakin' Records but this track is lacking in creativity, soul and feeling. Just stale. Maybe more from Fracture & Neptune and less from Polska! Its a shame that Renegade Hardware didnt release the Paradox track on a single 12". Its the only good track on here. The other three are just stagnant run of the mill crowd pleasers that dont go anywhere.
A Certain Sound, from Renegade Hardware 003 is amazing anyway and i didnt think that it could be topped. I guess thats why they got Paradox to remix it as no one else could have done it justice. You want a lesson in Drumfunk? you need this track! I dont like the original version of this track at all, and once again Total Science are a massive disappointment on the remix duties. I wish they would try something new instead of churning out remix after remix in the same style.
The reason i got this tune is of course for the Paradox remix! His rework turns the original into a pure quality slice of futuristic yet soulful drumfunk. Once again Paradox pushes the boundaries and refuses to compromise. Full Cycle and its artists have got gradually worse as the years have passed. This is a truly awful record, unless it was intended for school discos etc. The one saving grace is that this is one of the funniest records ive ever heard. Whenever I hear it I crack up laughing, expecting clowns to raid the room!!

Without a doubt the WORST track ever on Prototype. In the 2 years before this release Grooverider always spoke of the next release being Calyx - Are You Ready (which is a decent track). Then all of a sudden this cheesy bouncy tune for 12 year olds appeared. imo The day prototype died and the Rider sold out BIG TIME. | ||||
