Boomkat review: "Akin to stumbling across a juiced up pirate radio station somewhere on the lower-end of the dial, 'Grim FM' goes on to deliver just shy of an hour of breathless aural goodness that blends the fizzing embers of grime, caliginous aromas of dubstep and an oily sense of fun into a sonic battering-ram that represents an aural Sudafed for the senses. Featuring a host of Grim Dub regulars (ATKI2, Starkey, Monkey Steak et al), many of the cuts included have never been heard before and the others are available for the first time on CD, thereby giving the vinylphobic a distillation of a cheekily vibrant scene, whilst the rest of us can bolster the 12"s with some crystalline stereo action. Very much adhering to the Werk ethos (i.e., if it's worth doing it's worth doing with a smile on your face), 'Grim FM' doesn't at any point get mired in an overarching sense of Wacaday fun - preferring instead to instill a buoyancy to proceedings that doesn't rely on humorless 'bong' skits. With obvious highlights coming in the form of ATKI2's seething 'Duty Paid', Starkey's piano-flecked electronic pinpricks ('Run The Bonus Features') and Basss Clefff's cavernous take on drafty-dub ('Welcome To Echo Chamber'), 'Grim FM' will knee you in the nuts then kiss you on the forehead. Grim meaning great..."
