"i thought this cd would be excellent, like those i have heard from other outstanding NYC djs like Dara or Reid Speed. unfortunately, it is not- in my opinion. the tracks selected are boring - played all together the way she does it. maybe each one alone might be tolerable, if juxtaposed with some more complex rhythms or some melody, vocals, anything! but it seems like one long boring clanking track all the way through. she attempts variation with track 2 but goes nowhere with it. i was extremely disapointed. no real melody or variation here, just unoriginal, unspirited dark middle of the road D&B."
