Total Science "Good Game" Album Review

Fantastic CD!
I'm just getting into DnB so take my words with as much salt as necessary, but I think this was a very good choice for a DnB intro. Fantastic music, artistry, and you can't go wrong with songs like "Kiss Chase" and the all-time favorite "All Ya Favourites". Total Science knows what they're doin' folks...don't try this at home. :)

Smith and Mighty "Retrospective" Album Review

Album Description
The story of Rob Smith and Ray Mighty, more commonly known as Smith & Mighty, began long before the world became fascinated with Bristol as the central source of the best downtempo and drum&bass the electronic music world has seen to date. It was the innovative precedent that Smith & Mighty brought to Bristol's music community, helping launch artists such as Massive Attack, Roni Size, Portishead and Tricky into the international spotlight. <P>Due to a major label contract dispute, much of their early work was previously unavailable to their fans. This collection is an excellent sampling of their unique ability to combine elements of dub, reggae, R&B, hip hop, and drum & bass into a seamless mix ready to rock any dancefloor around the world. <P>Retrospective collects classic tracks from as far back as 1989's "Wishing on A Star," which perfectly exemplifies their echo chamber experiments developed during their work with Adrian Sherwood's On U Sound collective in the mid 80s. With classic tracks from their last three artist albums as well as singles previously unavailable on CD, this collection is sure to please the fans and convert the previously unconverted to utter obsession.

Dillinja "Cybotron" Album Review

Good
I was expecting more too from dillinja before i heard this album. But i still like it because its not a complete let down. Sometimes the beats can feel like they drag on in some dillinja tracks, but they are still nice to listen to. I respect him because it is hard to make these sounds and dirty distortion from scratch into melodies. I would still recommend this album to anyone who wants to hear it, its not dillinjas best, but still worth it. If you want the king of technical production though, thats Andy C lol. Later!

Video cybotron / dillinja - threshold ( prototype records 1996 )

prototype was / is a label run by grooverider, this was the 4th release on the label. i heard this really REALLY fucking loud at the leisure lounge in holborn, metalheadz club night late 1995 i think - doc scott played it out - brutality on wax

Ambush "Rumours" Album Review

Possible Label Scores A Hit ...
Definetely a hit ... a drum-n-bass hit ... Below The Belt.<br>The Possible Label, ran by Mick Harris of Scorn/Napalm Death fame, releases this album in conjunction with Invisible Records, and it is a very ruff, almost minimalistic DNB journey. Scorn-like major bass lulls up against hard (usually simplistic) breaks and eerie atmospheres. Could be comparable to Dryft (Gridlock sideproject) in certain segments and also a sped up Scorn. 4/5 rating.
