"At first glance, I felt compelled to diss the album on the low budget cover graphics, but surpirsingly the music best captures the New York Garage scene at its best. This unmixed compilation is a Who's Who of Garage. All the top names represent including Strafe, Jomanda and Colonel Abrams to the Bassement Boys, the Peech Boys and Serious Intention! Strafe SETS IT OFF on track 1. This track rocked many a club, and is a pre-requisite for your MGA (Masters Degree in Garage Appreciation). Yet another classic YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME by D Train."You're the one for me . . . Just don't know What you did to me But I'm not the same I'm not the sa-ame . . ."Serious Intention also appear on track three with their Garage anthem, YOU DON"T KNOW. Ever wonder where the Jungle Brothers got their samples for Girl I'll House You? Check track 4 CAN YOU PARTY by Royal House, a boogie down Bronx anthem. Other top tracks: MUSIC IS THE ANSWER (Colonel Abrahms) and DON'T MAKE ME WAIT by the NYC Peech Boys. Check for the clapping in the echo chamber intro."
OL' SCHOOL LIKE IT SHOULD BE

"If you are a fan of the old clubs like Paradise Garage(Larry Levan) and Zanzibar(Tony Humphries) you will enjoy this cd.
The artist and songs that were picked for this cd, were definitely on target. This cd is a must have to your club or house collection."
