5.0 out of 5 stars Got any good music? Soul, baby!, 28 Jun 2001
By Ash (UK) - See all my reviews
This double cd of rare grooves and psychedelic trips may at times seem jumbled to the point of incoherence (witness: the 5 minute drum solo in the middle of disc 2!). However, this is Holmes' genius at work. The juxtaposition of big brass horns and purple-haze sitars creates an eclectic listening experience. You get the feeling that Holmes is peering over your shoulder going "Ooh, this is a great track!" and is hurriedly chucking records on the decks. He is sharing with us his favourite stuff, which is very different from his own work, yet has been undoubtedly influential in creating his dark, funky sound. Standout tracks include contributions from Rare Earth ('Celebration'), and Marlena Shaw, who sings the magnificent 'California Soul'. If this tune doesn't put a smile on your face, then you are a terminal depressive. Buy it, love it, force it on your friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen Up, 11 Dec 2000
The music in this mix represents the most original, eclectic and psychedelic DJ around at his finest. With all these 'superstar DJs' around at the moment it seems bizzare that David Holmes has been largely ignored. His talent eclipses his contempories and he also makes proper albums that demand to be listened to from start to finish. Let's Get Killed mixes trippy beats with sounds from the streets of New York and Bow Down To The Exit Sign is so viceral and dark that it's being made into a film. But, if you have any taste, you'll have these already, listen to this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars rare groove jazzy hip hop mod soul style, 24 Jan 2000
this cd is it..do not hesitate to purchase what amounts to one of the most eclectic, grooviest mix of tunes for warming up the night or indeed recovering/carrying on back home post-club. As anyone who's heard this man spin you never know what will come next, and this album is always suprising and never dull..big up.
