Damn man! You NEED to hear this stuff! This was the apex of Drum-n-Bass development. It was the last logical step in the evolution of the tunes we refer to as Drum-n-Bass. Before that the producers didn't know where it was going and after that it could only go down. This is the fundamental listening gem of the genre. And it is! I would advise all would-be listeners and hunters of D-n-B to actively seek this one out and give it a very good, intent listen. You will be rewarded with very innovative approaches to electronic beat structures and tweek-manipulation. You will hear a sense of knowing what they were doing when conceiving these songs. You will also hear sheer skill in the craft of music-making. These are not done by the post-apocalyptic schwaglers of the genre and subgenres of techno. They were done by the masters of the craft. Check it out and see (or hear) for yourself.
