Review by tball, 26/09/2003

When I first heard the first few bars of the intro, I almost got goosebumps! The intro has so much promise and potential, which why it is such a let down that the mix doesn't build upon this, but rather mellows out in time for when the tune begins.

I would like to say that the mix is alot like The Dead Guys' Last Ninja Big Beatnik mix; it uses a similar brilliant intro, laid back lead and wacky percussions, but sadly without the punch of the former.

If you ignore the huge pit one falls down in after the introduction, the mix does pick up after awhile and becomes quite an OK listening experience.

As a final note, there's a synthesized lead electric guitar used once or twice in the mix, which absolutely doesn't agree with me. But that might be just me.
