Stick to what you know... - By: The Happy Space Invader, 31 Jul 2007
The problem is, I had already heard the fantastic "Brainfreeze" & "Product Placement" by DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, not to mention a couple of DJ Yoda's "How to Cut & Paste" albums.

Those guys reallly know how to mix their records - Liam Howlett doesn't.

The scratching is nothing special & the blending (and choice) of tracks at times seems random. There are some good moments in the first two CD tracks, but that's largely due to the songs themselves & little to do with the mixing. The rest of the album is very mediocre.
Phat, Dope, Hectic, Eclectic! - By: A. Fitzgerald, 08 Feb 2006
If you're into hip-hop,or breakbeat in general,then you need a copy of this. If you're into cut n paste mixes & eclectic mash-ups, then you also need this. Whatever you may think of Mr. Howlett, he certainly has very good taste in music & displays that to the fullest here. There are some tracks that I've come to love that I never even heard 'til I purchased this mix. The mixing is tight, but stays quick, rough & raw as the dope beats come thick & fast. Highlights for me are; KRS-One & Tim Dog, Sex Pistols, Bomb the Bass, Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Hijack & The Charlatans to name just a few. If you like the tracklist but don't own the cd then what the f*** are you waiting for?? If you've never heard of any of the featured artists but are open-minded then get on this.....you won't regrtet it!!
fine underated mix - By: HC GRIFFITHS, 27 Feb 2004
This is a well considered & brilliantly mixed recording.
Of course it's not meant to be on a par with the Prodigy's original works & shouldn't be compared to them. This is Liam pulling out alll the stops & forming a cohesive string of songs from his record collection. The mixing of seemingly disparate tunes is a little insight into the inspirations & influences of one of the great electronic/rhythmical artists of the last two decades. A huge range displaying Liam's eclectic tastes. Pretty damn good too. Check out the opener of track 3. The Mexican by Babe Ruth. Great Song.
Top Quality Mixing - By: Taffy, 21 Apr 2003
This is one album that I was not sure about when I first heard it, but it is definatly a classic.

This will be the third time I have bought this album .... which just goes to show how good it is :)

Excellent, definatly recommended!!!


An Excellent mix of some Great classics - By: , 06 Apr 2002
When i first heard the reviews for this album (as a Prodigy fan)I thought i'd avoid it. Then i came across it by accident & was well impressed! Its just a cool mix of some old classics & some unknowns mixed to a great hiphop, funk style - but far away from their usual style! This album is a must buy - even if its just to guess the tracks.
