In order to celebrate Tim "Love" Lee's Tummy Touch label's 100th release, Shadow Records agreed to co-release this double disc. Consisting of mostly mid-tempo house music, bordering on downtempo, the release is very consistent in what it delivers. The first disc is presented by Tom Findlay of Groove Armada (who released some material on the Tummy Touch label earlier on in their career). It is pretty standard fare and doesn't stray far from the house sound. The second disc, on the other hand, is a little different. It is mixed by Tim "Love" Lee himself and we are presented with a few different sounds that reach the outer sides of electronica. This disc kicks off with "On The Ceiling" by Dolphin Boy, a gentle track that possesses diva-like qualities with the girls beautiful vocals. Tim tends to take a gentler side of things and maintain a downtempo feel on his disc. "Summer Fever" kicks in with a bit of a dub feel. This is definitely not an "essential" collection but there are a few highlights on the second disc, making it worthy of being in some collections.
