As Phat As It Gets - Leslie West

Advantages: great tracks for a great party time!!!
Disadvantages: Uninteresting mixes

...I was surprised at some of the quality of tunes on this album!! For Dave Pearce it's impressive. Bits of progressive from dave??? like Way Out West. I am a fan of the euphoria series. one of the last few compilation series that keeps a high quality range of tracks. The album is great for playing at a party or something which is why good old Dave is around isn't it...to provide a party atmosphere. It's got some mixes of tunes that I haven't heard before. like the Matt Darey mix of Gabrielle's 'Rise' and some future releases on the Nulife label Daves own label) like Floyd- come together which gets the hairs on your back standing on edge!!! great album keeps the series going!! (apart from hard house euphoria)... Read review

...phats and small were at a club quite near me a few weeks ago. when this kid was getting beat up by a load of thugs they just stood there and watched! there music is quite good any way and i like quite a few of their tunes. they seem to have an original back ground for their tunes and i havent heard any artists produce tunes on the same wave length as them. i hope they continue to make some good dance tunes as i enjoy listening to them and the fans will be pleased as well as many clubbers across the country....

Having established themselves in 97 with the self-title LP, Jurassic 5 followed up with 'Quality Control' in 2000 15 songs loaded with cool cuts, phat rhythms and sweet beats. Quality Control stays true to J5's roots and even uses the lyrics to the timeless 'Concrete Schoolyard' and gives it a fresh beat. Songs like 'Quality Control' will have you boppin' your head, but my personal favourite is 'Swing Set' a classic tribute to the great swing era of the '20s, '30s and 40's, with a modern twist. Djs Cut-Chemist and Nu-Mark never fail to impress, and with the crisp vocals of Charli 2na and Zakir compliment... Read review
