This is without doubt the most pioneering and awe inspiring album I have ever heard and changed my life considerably. Danny's vision is recognised clearly through this masterpiece of drum and bass and was a worthy beginning to the then forming 'intelligent' genre. This album will never be beaten as his vision was pure genius. Bring back GLO!!!

For me this album is one of the definitve soundtracks to my life, and has been since I first heard it all those years ago. It sits alongside Leftfields 'Leftism' and Massive's 'Blue Lines' in its status as a benchmark for electronic music when it was released, achieving cult status in drum 'n bass circles and beyond. It seems as though every track has been carefully selected at great pains to ensure the quality never lets up at any given point, and it's one of those albums where everyone has their own favourite track rather than there being one stand-out anthem that everyone adores.

The first disc is an unmixed studio selection, each track a classic in its own right. From Bukem's seminal 'Demon's Theme' through PFM's beautiful 'Danny's Song' (a tribute to LTJ Bukem) and finishing up with Bukem's 'Horizons' (with every other song in between on a par with these), it is just purely a joy to listen to, and you'll find yourself not wanting to skip tracks along the way!

Disc two is a mixed set from the man himself, LTJ Bukem. I won't bother to break down this cd into its tracks, just trust me that it is a journey that everyone should take. It's so good that even near the end, when one of the tracks begins to jump (a real vinyl mix here folks) instead of detracting from the quality of the mix, it just serves to enhance it and give it that raw, underground quality not to be found on any mix cd released today.

To put into a simple sentence, this is one of the finest albums ever created in my eyes, and will be til the end of time. Astounding.

CD a of this Good Looking records album is one of the finest selection of atmospheric drum & bass. Such as Danny Song by PFM, Links by Chameleon (with the classic Ferris Bueller's sample) or the Conrad remix of PFM's Western amoung others. But personaly the Progression Session 001 CD is a better mix imo.

Contains more great tunes than you could shake a stick at.

Essential greatness.

One of the defining lps of the drum'n'bass era. The follow up wasn't as good but still has some awesome tracks and the mix cd is excellent.

it's a good mix of drum n bass tunes, from the very beginnings of "demon's theme" (91) (before it was even CALLED drum n bass) to the more recent innovations of the time it was released (96).

note, the tune "pharaoh" by photek is actually called "rings around saturn" and was mis-labelled as it contains a sample from "astral travelling" by "pharaoh saunders".

voitek and xybot speak nothing but the truth - this is probably the defining mix of the mellow-end of drum n bass if ever there was one. bukem hits you with track after track of sumptuous, expert-picked grooves that simply do not get boring. the whole thing is interwoven with deep lysergic connotations that are a joy to listen to. Much Recommended!

this is it for me.....after 20 years listening to electronic music I have yet to go past this one. my number one record of all time. the best mix of atmospheric drum and bass. fantastic flow and metamorphosis. this proves what a Dj can really do to a collection of already great tracks. I never tire of this bent or straight it is a must have CD
