This has got to be one of the darkest drum & bass albums ever conceived. As Goldie said in the notes of Platinum Breakz (about Source Direct) : "Dark, man! Ultra -f*cking- dark!". The tune Mindweaver is a personal favorite. It's one of the best Amen-edited tunes ever in my opinion, it's amazing bassline rolls over a very dark synth. Technical Warfare is another, absolute favorite; a pure hellish sounding tune backed up by cleverly edited breaks. Concealed Identity is a fantastic tune that i would describe as 'Futuristic-Sword-wielding-Ninja-Drum & Bass'. Only two tunes could be described as 'normal' drum & bass tunes; Love & Hate and Dubstar, the rest are pure anxiety-inducing works of art that stretch the imagination, like that of possible future dystopias...
Rated 5/5

First time i've heard Source Direct was in the Blade movie score. Vampire Frost sitting in the library with a walkman and listening to the first track - Call & Response. From that moment i could never forget the two samples and the infinite loop...

Imagine my face when i purchased this release many years after the movie and the very first sound was that sample:)

Welcome to the roots of all evil! A brilliant from my collection of rarities, taking you to the meditative dark and rythmic dimensions. Barely to be referred to as a drum and bass release, Exorcise the Demons is something beyound ordinary jungle. Call it dark jungle industrial DnB or anything you want, but it is a must-have for those, who like complicated and long-rolling loops, industrial soundscape, psychedelic atmosphere and long stumbling tracks.
Sophisticated. Dark. Different.
Rated 5/5

One of the best drum and bass albums I own. Deep, dirty, rolling but most of all f*cking evil! Think dynamic hiphop-style drum programming, great synths, evil samples and deeeeep bass.

These guys are sorely missed.
