Selected quotes from the British Music Press (Sept 2000)
Wax: 'These guys never fail to deliver some of the phatest beats to
make it onto CD and vinyl. It features the finest talent the label
has to offer including King Kooba, Grand Unified, Lexi Love and
Boswick Gates and debut cuts from The Third Man, Cadien and Ra.
I've built up quite a collection of beats'n'breaks albums alongside
my huge hip hop collection but this is one label that always stand
out due to the sheer quality of material on it. There's no
compromise here, this compilation is like the label's stringent
policy, 'It's the best or nothing!'. Believe me this is the best
'Skinful' you'll be having for a long time.' 10/10 (Recommended top
10 Albums Of The Month)
Level: 'Reeking of midweek dancefloor madness, this natty
compilation heads up with the acidic squelches of Palmskin
Productions' 'Acton Baby'. Then over to King Kooba's sweet and
light 'The Antidote', back up to a frenetic nu breaks treatment of
Lexi Love's 'Burn' and Meat Katie's tech-break like 'One Day'. A
bounding delight.'
Muzik: 'What's it all about? Second Skin's fortunes move onwards
and upwards with this, the fourth in an increasibgly necessary
series of trip hop and slo-mo beats. A more upfront selection this
time around, though. Who's on it? Palmskin Productions'
scintillating bleepfest 'Acton Baby', Cadien's uplifting 'Ego
Spiritual', King Kooba's funk noir and Meat Katie's
Burrundi-electro. Any cop then? Sarf London electronic funk at its
best. One skinful that will not lead to a pounding headache and
nausea afterwards.'
