From: Break In The Road [2006]

A break from normal posting today to remind you all that the benefit album Break In The Road will be available to purchase from 14th February (a perfect gift for the one you love perhaps?). All proceeds from the release will be going to the support of victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Compiled by DJ gNAT whose work and effort to get this off the ground and finished are beyond superhuman, the album features tracks from the combined talents of Soulstrut forum posters including DJ Day and ThesOne and ranges from hip hop to downtempo to electronic. As gNAT himself explains:

"Amazingly enough, I never actually met any of the album's contributors. I managed to do all of the album's organizing through e-mail, private messages, and instant messaging. It was a truly amazing experience to see perfect strangers from all over the world rally behind folks affected by the hurricanes. One-hundred percent of BREAK IN THE ROAD's music and artwork were donated."

I've put up a couple of clips so you can hear the quality of the release with your own ears but can also confirm, having heard the album in full, that there's not a duff track in sight.

It's not often that you get to do something that is rewarding spiritually and sonically and this opportunity should not be missed. You can order your copy at the Break In The Road Website and also check out more information regarding the artists and music.

Do it now.
