Review by Alain_Patrick Sep 12, 2007
"Demon's Theme" is not only the Good Looking Records very first release and a Danny Williams' masterpiece that would change the course of the rivers for Breakbeats, Jungle & Drum n' Bass, but a primal mark that is part of the history of electronic music itself.
Making use of amazing samples (the flutes of Marshall Jefferson's "Open Your Eyes", shouts of "Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren and pianos from 'Rhythmatic - Frequency'), Danny Williams aka LTJ Bukem creates a majestic atmosphere with very elegantly shaped basslines and overlapped classic Breakbeats - the Amen Breaks from 1969 Soul classic "Amen, Brother" by The Winstons with 1974 Funk-Soul marvelous "The Breakthrough" by Isaac Hayes (Bizzy B & Peshay would also use this Bukem's Breaks combination on "Merder Style" and Simon 'Bassline' Smith on "Palamino").
"Demon's Theme" was released when the whole Electronic-Breakbeat scene was changing. It was a blueprint of a new sound. The rest, as we say, is history.
