UrbThe most inspired batch of caffeine-fueled and jumped-up party favors you'll hear all year. [#104, p.95]

Q MagazineSome of the sharpest beats and catchiest tunes ever to grace a dance LP. [Jun 2003, p.93]

Over 13 tracks, not one a filler, they mix everything from punk to electro, house and disco, and end up like a delirious collision of the Specials and Basement Jaxx.
