BC* - Inside The Machine

'Inside the machine' is one of the best drum & bass albums of all times and it's not hard to hear why. This took the scene by storm and launched the biggest drum & bass group of all time. Every tune on this album is a stormer full of dark atmospherics and deep bass. 'Colonies' is just sublime, a musical jouney which takes a dark twist in the middle, jekyl & hyde style!. 'Brain-scan' is a synth led tune with a techno twist, this was played by nearly every dj at the time.
'Oxygen' is my favourite from the lp, consisting of a intro sounding like all the horror movie scores! and a break to wet your bed for! When the bassline kicks in then you wonder how this tune was possible! 'Dead side' has a nice haunting intro and is a storming roller. 'Nitrous' is another favourite and a monster of a tune with a dark reece bassline and storming tramen breaks. This is just the devil's anthem!'Sentient' 'Forgotten [remember inferno anyone?!]'Silicon dawn' &'Trick of the light'are all amazing tunes. This album is superb and is essential if you like drum & bass or if you just want to be punished for all the sin's you have committed in life!

Oh man... What can be said about this release that hasn't already been said? This is some of the tightest and darkest techstep that has ever been put to wax. The bass lines are thick and heavy, and the drums are crisp. The techstep influence means that there's a lot of synthy sounds incoporated into the music, which adds a nice sci-fi feel to the music, as it usually does with this style. My favourite song (as hard as it is to choose) is "Colonies" - 9 minutes of breathtaking atmsopheric sonic assault. An absolute must have!
