    Very good breakbeat LP. The quality of production is instantly noticeable, hence the cleanliness of the sound.
    A good chunk of this release is a compilation of Wide Receiver's earlier singles & b-sides from the 90s.

    Also, several of the tracks featured here have been included in a bunch of compilations.
    For instance, the starter "Breakbeat Sushi" is found in "Dope On Plastic 6" and "Big Beat Elite Repeat".
    Regarding "The Debt Collector", this is basically a shortened and slightly rearranged version of "Cained", found in the first "Big Beat Elite" opus. It's a textbook case of big beat : hip-hop pattern, thumping beats, prominent bass, funky guitars and industrial-ish sounds.
    As for "Magic Sponge", which can make an ideal chill video game soundtrack, is also featured in "Big Beat Elite Repeat" and "Dope On Plastic" (the fifth volume in this case).

    My personal favorite pick is "Let 'Em Know Your There". Some beats feature at their end a soothing sound that recalls Way Out West's first album (did they actually sample them ?), but it mostly features some of the coolest 303s out here. Not too loud, not messy, it is p.e.r.f.e.c.t. Simple, but efficient.
    Moreover, "Twilight Zone" is another fun tune. This time, the duo used the same noise heard in DJ Icey's "Say What Ya'll". Plus, the vocoded vocals are in the same vein as the ones which where widespread in the Florida Breaks style.

    If you're looking for more house-oriented tracks, "T-Man", "Microdot" and "Moppin' Up At The Back" do the job.
    "Ecoutez S'il Vous Plait" is the reason I can't put 5 stars. The female "Ouh Laa Laa" iterations and the actual "Ecoutez S'il Vous Plait" samples kinda put me off and sound too "ear candy", but not in a positive way. It contrasts too much with the global danceable atmosphere, such a shame.
    To finish, a neo-classical remix of "Microdot" that reveals to be pleasant. It reminds me a bit of Mint Royale and Rob Dougan (without his vocals) at the same time.
