Pure - Kaushiki Chakrabarty

Advantages: Wicked mixing, some good tracks, good backing music
Disadvantages: lacking in some areas, aint as good as original.

...Pure Garage II is the follow up to the massively popular Pure Garage. This rinsin' compilation is mixed by the legendary EZ, who blends the fresh, young, UK garage talent. The likes of Craig David, Oxide and Neutrino and Shola Ama feature in this wicked album sequel. Alone, Pure Garage II has some solid tracks and is great to listen two. Although, it probably doesn't achieve such heights as its predecessor, maybe a forced, rushed effort has lead to a less than equal compilation. Having said that, Pure Garage II is gonna be bought by 'nuff garage fans. Load up ya decks with dis fresh new flavor from the Pure Garage cru!... Read review

I am sad to say that the film did not live up to its soundtrack, in fact I'd go as far as to say it was rubbish, and I was sorely disappointed. Howerer, I believe that 'Pure Shores' is the best tune I have heard from All Saints yet, and it is still one of the first to go on my favourites tapes!!... Read review
