"I bought this after buying her Mixed Live in Las Vegas CD and I truly feel spoiled by the Las Vegas CD. "I'm About to Break," lacks the intensity that Las Vegas has right from first track all the way through the whole CD. I.A.T.B. does not really get going until about half way through the set and when it does get there it feels like it still has not quite hit that peake you would expect from mid-point of the set. For me this CD is good for backround music because it just does not make me want to move my a** like the Las Vegas set does. But it is still a good set of tunes to hear while you are already preoccupied with something else. Avoid this if you are only a casual breakbeat/techno listener. I Highly reccommend the Mixed Live in Las Vegas release to anyone remotely interested in any type of high energy dance music. This one is really only for devoted Baby Anne fans."

"We all love baby Anne- shes great at what she does and as far as ghetto florida breaks go, shes the bst. But in all honesty I was a bit dissapointed in the track selection this time around. Though Im not sure thats really her fault, Florida breaks have kind of been lacking for a few years, in my own opinion. Also, I wanted to quickly state my opinion about the review before mine...to the "club dj" who cant say who he is...what are you doing mixing already mixed cds? And why cant you name the names of the tunes, and not call them by numbers? In any case, I do not think you are for real and next time you shoudl at least try to write a more convincing review :)But, back to baby anne...if you like this, then I recommend grabbing her bass queen in the mix cds. Both are absolute gems and she absolutely shines on both disks."

The Best Breakbeat CD this year so far

"Let me just say. I buy alot of techno and I used to go see Baby Anne in FL before she became big in techno land. I own all of her albums and she is one of my favorite breakbeat DJ's. Sandy just came out with his and it doen't even come close to this album, neither does Eric Berretta. This jury is still out on Rick West. As for DJ Icey he is good, he used to better when he was younger, for the simple fact he would take various beats, sounds and vocals and mix them. Now he is just putting out music to sell, instead of getting back to the basics. But this album is by far the best breakbeat CD this year so far. If there is one album you must buy for breakbeat, this is the one! Also check out Simply Jeff another good solid album. I could write about alot more DJ's and there albums but not going to.Just like PVD said in lastest album. We have gotten away from techno really means from what it used to stand for and we must get back to the roots!Peace and keep dancing"
