Baby Anne brings another bangin' breaks cd....

"Now there are two ways to rate this double-disc set:

1)Average the good disc and the not so good disc and give the two as a whole a mediocre rating.

OR

2)Realize you only paid for 1 disc anyway and one of the discs is definately good. (I'm choosing this one....obviously)

DJ Baby Anne (Assault) brings another great breaks disc that is every bit as good as Mixtress. The mixing here is excellent as always and there are definately some really nice tracks you'll be listening to for a while. (really liking 'Fear 2' and 'Dementia' right now)

As for Jen Lasher (Battery) I, too, am a little confused at this pairing with DJ Baby Anne. Her mix is *odd* to say the least. It starts out with a poppy 80s feel mix and by track 8 starts moving into this darker sound that teeters on the edge of being full blown Electroclash. (I'm not saying that is all bad....I especially like tracks 10 and 13) Basically, this disc could be enjoyed, but not when you want to listen to Baby Anne's stuff. The two discs simply do not complement each other very well. (A LOT of vocals on this disc)

Conclusion, if your a Baby Anne fan, buy it for DJ Baby Anne's disc. Its definately worth it. 5 stars

"Not a typical fan of breaks, so I guess Baby Anne's CD is alright - pretty solid mixing. It can get a little relentless though. Some nice melodies splashed in and around the breaks and beats towards the middle and end.

Jen Lasher's CD is great (in a tongue in cheek sort of way) and worth the price of admission. The first five tracks are great and the other ones are not that bad. Only downside is Lasher's own production -- track 14. I read a review somewhere that criticized the mixing though on this disc though I thought it was top-notch especially when mixing songs (as some of the tracks are) instead of just tunes. The CD is diverse in musical styles (electro pop to house-y to psy-trance in the same mix that makes sense -- from light and fluffy to dark and chewy -- is cool) as opposed to just driving breaks like CD1 and some of the tracks are humerous though some with inane vocals.

For a decent spectrum of sound pick up this package -- you'll get more than enough breaks and some cheeky dance."

Florida Breaks & Awsome Mixed Tracks!

"I've Been a fan of DJ Baby Anne ever since Mixtress! Her album ( Disc 1 : Assualt ) seems to have the same STUDIO AUDIO GEM SOUND to it also. Baby Anne's CD has some WICKED Mixed Florida Break TRAX! You'll probably be left wondering where she got them from. All & All ( Disc 1 : Assualt ) has some HARD hitting BASS , FLORIDA Breaks , & a excellent Electronica Theme to it! I bought this Double Disc Album for Baby Anne's SET ALONE & was NOT SADEND in ANY way!

Jen Lasher's Album ( Disc 2 : Battery ) is very unique in quality sound & theme! With PERFECTLY SEAMLESSLY MIXED TRACKS. The 1st half of her album is uplifting & @ times bubbley in a sense! This album has a slightly Goth Industrial Elctronica theme to it on the 2nd half of this album! I didn't buy this Double Disc set for this CD , BUT it makes a MUST HAVE ELCTRONICA CLUB COMPANION type Album ; to DJ Baby Anne's Wicked Killer Florida Break Beat Set!

Get this CD if You're a REALLY UPFRONT NEWSKOOL ENERGY ; KIND of Dance Lover!

Guaranteed to Satisfy the Beat Hungry Monster in YOU.... Get it NOW!"

"The first cd from Baby Anne is fairly typical florida breaks fare. I wouldn't claim that's a bad thing, but don't expect to be surprised if you're familiar with the genre. Overall it's a solid offering from Baby Anne and delivers the bass.

The second cd is a surprising mix from Jen Lasher, who has abandoned her old breakbeat sound and fully adopted a more electro feel. To those who have labeled this "industrial" I will say first and foremost that you are wrong. There is not one remotely industrial track on the cd. What she does provide is an extremely varied mix of synthpop, house, and a couple breaks tracks, all very vocal and sporting an electro pop flare, sometimes approaching the full-on ny electroclash sound. From someone quite familiar with electropop artists I can't recommend highly enough this diverse mix guaranteed to please newcomers and electro afficianados alike.

My only complaint is the strikingly misplaced Wolfsheim track, which I can only assume fueled the misguided and completely false Depeche Mode comparison from another reviewer."

OK, where's Jen Lasher?

"I have to admit, being a guy, I bought this album because I had heard good things about DJ Baby Anne, but mostly because the cover was HOT! After putting in the first CD (The DJ Baby Anne set), I was greatful I had bought the CD. I don't usually go out on a limb and buy untried albums, but this one was not a disappointment.

But when I put in the Jen Lasher set (Disk 2), I was completly in love! This set has got to be one of the best I've ever heard in the D&B/Jungle genre! She starts with a few startling tracks, but I grow to love even them more and more! The rest of the whole CD just gets better and better until I nearly pulled the CD out of my car and framed it on the mantle! If you enjoy a good Junglist album with a little house feel (alot of vocals, but wonderful!) you'd be insane not to add this to your collection! Also, WE NEED another set from Jen Lasher! It's a crime she hasn't put out any other albums I can find!"
