Fly Away MC You have to be into MC's to like this one. Personally I think MC's degrade the essence of any original electronica track through their voicing over of senseless lyrics that end up white-washing the actual music.
In addition to bad lyrics, why does the MC feel it necessary to remind the crowd/listener that they are the "Freestylers!". At least every 5 minutes by my count. Pretty cheesy.
1/5 stars for this dismal album.
Fabriclive. 19 One of the best breakbeat compilations I've heard in years. MASSIVE. I also recommend " Breakpoll 1 by BREAKFASTAZ ".
fabriclive Freestylers If you want a mix of breakbeats and rap this is it! breakbeats are solid and well done with just enough rap and lyrics to keep things interesting.
Music for the Peak Having not owned a single Freestylers mix or album nor a disc from the Fabriclive series, I took the leap with this album as my first. From track #1 to track #23, this disc, the mix, and the mood only go from great to fantastic.
I could not be happier with my purchase.
If you like breaks or music that is on at the best clubs during the peak between 12am and 4am you will enjoy this disc. This is simply one of the best albums I have purchased in at least the last 6 months. :) Take the leap. You'll be grooving from the moment you insert the disc.
Fantastic stuff -- what dance music is all about... this is fantastic stuff..from the opening remix of their very own 'BoomBlast' to reggae inspired 'Put up your hands'..its a toss and tumble into the freestyler's breakbeat world..all done with style and ferocity...Thump your fist in da air and just groove...
