Kruder and Dorfmeister "Conversions" Album Review

Dreamy & Drowsy
Not nearly as ambitious as "The K&D Sessions," nor as energized as "DJ Kicks," "Conversions" is Kruder and Dorfmeister at their most introspective. The Austrian duo displays their typical panache with a serving of soulful drum and bass, seamlessly blending a wealth of clean and cool rhythms into something that plays like a single, hour-long anthem to twilight. Although this album is, in true K&D fashion, immaculately presented, it is also the most passive thing they've ever created. The end result is something as drowsy as it is brilliant. Put this record on and you will undoubtedly enjoy it, but it's soothing pulse may put you to sleep long before you have time to reach the end.

Fauna Flash "Aquarius" Album Review

Drum & Bass masterpiece
I can't believe I'm the first person to review this album. This is Fauna Flash's only true "Drum & Bass" album. It's also one of the first compost releases to get play by members of the Metalheadz crew. I would consider this album to be pretty essential in drum & bass headz' collections. The production is flawless, the jungle breaks are tight and on-point, and the analog bass is tearing! Really, the only complaint I'd have on this album is that it only has 9 tracks. The first 7 tracks are drum & bass steppers, and the last 2 are jazzier, more downtempo tracks. The individual tracks are around 6 minutes long on average, so it's not quite as short as it seems. Overall it's an excellent album, and one that I keep in heavy rotation even now.
