Goldie "Timeless" Album Review
the pinnacle of drum and bass
This cd should be hanging on a wall in some museum because it's not just a collection of songs, it's a musical work of art. The emotion and creative effort that Goldie put into this cd is evident on every track. Each track has a story to tell, starting off with the 21 minute epic journey Inner City Life/Pressure/Jah that is worth the price of the cd by itself.
But don't stop there. I've had this cd for many years and every now and then I "rediscover" it and find something new. It's hard to pick favorites but I've played 'Sensual' more times than any other song in my entire life. The track is so unique in it's structure that I've never heard anything quite like it. 'Sensual' is a perfect title but there are sounds that also invoke a profound sense of longing. Just an incredibly emotional song, a piece of art really.
'Sea of Tears' is stunningly beautiful and complex. Birds, ocean sounds, and guitar give this song a nice atmospheric quality. Another unique and startlingly original composition.
'Kemistry' is a drum n' bass tour de force. Rapid drums and deep bass lines pound away and become increasingly intense as the track progresses until a frenzy of bass and drums is pounding you into submission by the end.
I could go on. There's not a weak track on the whole thing. This cd should never be out of print and it is as I write this. Goldie can be proud that he's forever left his mark with this masterpiece of modern music.

Micatone "Ninesongs" Album Review
Bass and drum heavy jazz electronic fusion w/lucious tones
This group from Berlin brings a sound where heavy bass jazz meets club and eletctonica with a lucious vocal track. Some tracks such as "Step Into the Gallery" (my fave) and "Playmobile Soldier" from this cd have found their way into cds such as the US release of the Mini Cooper, and various clubs albums and remixes.
With a voice reminisent of Billy Holiday, singer Lisa Bassenge makes a memorable sound flow out of the tracks and soothing your senses and bring a sense of history and the bands jazz roots to the music.
Highly recommendly for lovers of jazz mixes and bass and drums heavy tunes. Bright sound, smart songwriting makes one wonder why this kind of innovation and art is so rare in modern prefabricated music.
