Back to Mine: Audio Bullys, compiled by electronic music duo Audio Bullys, is the fifteenth album in the Back to Mine series published by Disco Mix Club.[1] Released in November 2003, the album features a new song by the duo entitled "All Burnt Out".[2]

Background[edit]

In the album's liner notes, frontman Simon Franks stated that Divine Madness by Madness was what piqued his interest in the band, and that "A Message to You, Rudy" was what prompted him to become interested in ska band the Specials, both of whose compositions appear on the album.[3]

Critical reception[edit]

Will Hodgkinson of The Guardian opined that "Franks' rough voice, the laddish lyrics and the music's club-drenched style make the Audio Bullys seem quite tough",[3] with Oldies.com stating that "Franks adopts a vocal style somewhere between speech and song, but the music, geared by Dinsdale's sensibilities as a DJ, is propelled towards the dancefloor", going on to further describe the album as being "typically diverse".[4] Marisa Brown of Rovi Corporation described the album as a "particularly rock heavy set".[5] Rowan Shaeffer of Counterculture offered a different view, writing that the duo was unable to combine the tunes into a cohesive mix, citing abrupt changes in speed and style of music, with "Peaches" by the Stranglers being overpowered by "Out Of Space" by the Prodigy, and Marvin Gaye being swept away by the debut of the band's exclusive contribution to the album, "All Burnt Out", a composition that impressed Shaeffer.[6]
