Synopsis

Album Description
Lee Coombs delivers his eagerly anticipated debut artist album Breakfast of Champions and tears through a torrid throng of musical genres, crashing through every box on his way. Seb Fontaine and Pete Tong noted Coombs as the ?man to watch? after his Future Sound of Retro album was released on Finger Lickin? in June 2001. Remixes including Quivver and Sister Bliss set the stage for success to follow. Soon his talents were being called upon to put his twist on everyone from New Order to Lamb to Moby. For this album, Lee has collaborated with some of the finest producers around including Dylan Rhymes, Christian J, Andy Gardner (Plump DJs) and Jem Panufnik (Soul Of Man). Breakfast Of Champions captures the carefree sunshine of Ibiza?s Space terrace towards dark ebbing klaxon horns and sleazy tribal echoes with "Black Elk Speaks". The album?s eponymous track takes on grimy acid house that would send the freaks down at DC10 running for cover before the soothing vocals and glinting guitar twangs of Coombs? remix of New Order?s "Crystal" lends sanctuary to the sinister breaks of "Dubhead" and the Axel F-styled electro of "Would Be True".

"I got a few 12inch samplers of this from fingerlickin records and they've been going down a storm in my sets.



'Dubhead' is proper chunky progressive house. 'Obssetional Rhythm' with Andy from the Plump's is a corker, too.

It's funny how a guy who uses really old acid house 303's and samples can also be one of the most innovative cats on the breaks/house music scene.



It's not quite as ground breaking as 'Future Sound Of Retro,' but then I'm still getting into a lot of the sound. He's moving on, which can only be a good thing, as long as this is the standard he mantains!"
