"...Don Johnson Big Band's second album hits you like a million volts. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't come up with any minuses about Breaking Daylight."
-Juhani Pitkänen, Imperiumi metal e-zine

"...Musically DJBB's beatbox rhythms, imaginative sampling techniques and especially rich combination of wind instruments are absolutely unparalleled."
-Jussi Kulonpalo, Nöjesguiden magazine

"...'One MC, One Delay' is a thumping dance-floor groove monster with its infectious beat, while 'Jah Jah Blow Job' explodes in a powerful tour de force of beats, flows and Ragga refrains."
-Jonny Jelinek, Musicchannel.cc

"...Of the album's many bests, it's essential to mention the thematically traditional hip hop piece 'Salt Water' - its piano refrain showers stars from the sky onto Lindgren's intensive rap."
-Ville Aalto, Rumba music magazine

"...This new, marvelously unusual album represents a rescue from the sterility of the Neptunes world. Anything other than maximum praise would be presumptuous."
-David Meixner, Evolver.at

"...The arrangements and compositions reach a totally new level, and all in all the rhythm is fantastic and lively."
-Asko Kauppinen, Soundi music monthly

"...It's rare that the music of the future is presented by a Finnish band."
-Petri Sajari, Suomen Kuvalehti magazine

Label: BEAT BACK
Formats: CD
Catalogue: BBP-001
Additional info:
The highly acclaimed debut album which
was first released self-supportedly under
the group’s own label Beat Back and later
issued to Sony Music for distribution in
Finland.

"...Carefully produced with attention to every last detail, this package of hypnotic hop boasts rap poetry that rolls and instrumental magic that makes sounds so moving that they bring tears to the eye."
-Peik Johansson, Voima magazine

"...Charmingly relaxed and at times cheerfully insane. Support de Microphones forms a whole so supreme in style that any Finnish record label would be doing itself a favor by signing this new act."
-Petri Silas, Soundi music monthly

"...Despite their relatively young age, Don Johnson Big Band is a hard-hitting combo clearly inspired by the tradition of black rhythm music. Hip hop, jazz, funk and trip hop have crystallized to form an exceptionally rich and unique result."
-Markku Makkonen, Aamulehti newspaper

"...The album's final piece 'Suru' has a melody and feeling reminiscent of Grace Jones's Astor Piazzolla version of 'Libertango' - a larger-than-life listening experience."
-Jari Mäkäräinen, Rumba music magazine
