Rated 2/5
Review by zaneofcawdor Dec 29, 2007
The high contrast mix takes the beat from andy c's bodyrock, crossing it with the streets sample, and a seriously heavy dub bassline. The result is a track which is better than either the original streets track or bodyrock. I mean bodyrock is interesting in that it uses a totally different beat to the normal 3 or 4 pattern variations used in uk drum & bass, here you get the same beat, but instead of the catchy but kinda irritating bassline of bodyrock, you get a properly cool deep bassline which is more classic-jungle sounding. As far as d&b circa 2002 goes this is about as good as it gets. It's interesting what the other reviewer mentions about the bassline melody, mark "ruff" ryder did basically the same thing on the uk garage tune "joy".

It's all about the High Contrast remix of 'Has It Come To This'. As a drum 'n' bass lover and UK Garage / Speed Garage lover this is the ultimate as it is a mix of Double 99's 'RIP Groove' and The Streets 'Has It Come To This' with a high tempo and skippy drum 'n' bass beat. Fantastic.
Rated 5/5

The High Contrast Remix has something that intrigue me. Either the guy has used Fine Young's Cannibal's Good Thing or Soft Cell's Tainted Love bassline. It doesn't really matter because this remix is a piece of art. Dare I say this is much better than the original.
