    with the first two albums, first one is the better one imo, features the classic uptempo breakbeat track give it to you which is also comped on ultimate breaks and beats vol?, and sampled by the jungle bros, and its not just about the drumbreak, that groove is pretty spicy, spacedout english rhodes thingy!!!

    Their "Never Gonna Turn My Back On You" is a superb track. Available on a nice Epic 7" as well.
