An unrecognized gem from the Sunburn catalog

"This is a well-mixed compilation off the Sunburn Label that actually achieves that "take you on a journey" quote that's way overused. It starts off with the slow breakbeat meets the beach of Love Sun, and continues on the next 2 tracks, straying into some Latin sounds for the Hawke's Track 4. You are slowly transitioned from the smooth percussive sounds into a more progressive and occassionally squelchy teritory with the next few tracks. Now let me say that for me mixing different styles of music on a disc almost never works and is dissruptive; here it works perfectly. It then cools down with the relaxing sounds of Q-Burns and others.Seriously, this is a gem you shouldn't miss, and if you like it check out Hawke's album Namadasquadisco and Q-Burns album Oeuvre."
