 "The King of Breaks" does it again March 5, 2006
J. Henley (Washington, D.C.)
First of all, if you are not an avid Icey fan, you might not like this. When I first listened to this CD, there was only a couple of tracks that I liked, so that's why I say what I did to start with. But after hearing a few of these tracks when I saw Icey live for the 2nd time, and went back and listened to it again, and definately like it a lot more. If you're looking for your average FL breaks, or for that matter, just average breaks, I wouldn't recommend this cd, or (once again) for that matter, latter Icey period. But if you're ready for something over the edge and different that only Icey can provide, definately buy this. Also, check out his newest CD only available at hot topic stores and on the hot topic website rite now, "Twisted."
A new direction for Icey? October 23, 2005

Track 6 seems to stick out me in the mere fact that Icey seems to be talking to the listener. "Don't drop to this, take a crack at this, not agebra or calculus, you'll try to 'dis, take a crack at this, not algebra or calculus." Like he knows that this release would not be well received by his core listeners. It isn't FL breaks, nor is it really breakbeats either.
This is not the Icey you are used to hearing in the clubs, but never-the-less, this is Icey in his "Big Beat" mode. Perhaps this is the direction he wants to take commercially, to fuse different sounds into "Florida Breaks". A crossover album per se. In this respect he does the job flawlessly. If you just want Florida Breaks, than you should look elsewhere.
It is interesting to note that a lot of reviewers equate DJ Icey to breakbeats. I guess people assume because he has breaks as a staple of his style, his style is break beats. This album is "Big Beats". I guess those who haven't seen his direction live and on CD over the years won't get this album.
Buy it if you are just getting into breakbeats, FL breaks, or want to hear something that fuses FL breaks/beats with crossover tunes. Do not buy this if you want break beats, FL breaks, or if you can't listen to a "cross-over" album objectively.

This is one album that I really didnt understand.The so called "king of breaks" can really come up with some strange stuff,thats a sho nuff.Let me recommend his "Essential Mix"to any dance fan,and unless you are a die hard Icey fan,I wouldnt buy this
Well rounded but not his best 3.5 stars October 15, 2004

DJ Icey was one of the first DJs to get me into any techno. I own all of his CDs. I got a chance to see him live in Minneapolis about a month ago. He definetly tore it up and got the crowd going. This would be a good CD if you are a long time Icey fan, the funky Florida break elements are still found on this CD. Highlights would include the remix of Shakedown's "At Night" and Two Lone Swordsmen's "Neuflex". I have been a fan of Two Lone Swordsmen for years now and was kind of sad to find in the liner notes that Icey had just found out about them as of late. But back to the point, if you are a first time listener pick up his "Essential Mix" album. If you already have that pick up his "Essential Elements" album. If you are at that point and dig those albums you will dig on this album as well.
I've heard better from Icey... September 10, 2004

I've seen Icey rip it up live twice, great performance both times, had the crowd jumpin', but I've heard better than this from Icey. Pass this one up and grab one of his older releases. One Love, Peace.
