Picked this up on Saturday, after reading about Lee Coombs @ the Perfecto Breaks party recently in London.
His sound was described as acid-house fused with breakbeats, something we've been searching for a while, so I thought I'd check it out.
To me, Perfecto is a bit of a turn off, music I used to listen to, but accept it is rather on the cheese borders.
But this album is really good. It could benefit from some more tweaking and more adventurous beats, but it is a step in the right direction.
At 4 minutes 40-odd seconds, the break in Joey Beltram's 'Energy Flash' is overlaid with the breakbeats of Lee Coombs' 'Rollin', and the whole track comes to life.
And the retro twist of House Syndicate's 'Jam the Mace', mixed with the 1987 release of 'Promised Land' by Joe Smooth brings back some memeories.
It really is a nice album. Well worth a listen.
