This is a reasonable compilation of nice, mostly downtempo and jazzy, drum & bass. The best track here is easily the remix of Locust's No-One in the World (labelled as the DJB mix on the singles) which uses a deep brooding intro, sweet female vocal line, simple poignant riff and interesting percussion to create a moving and entrancing tune.
Sadly this album marked the rather sudden demise of R&S's famous In Order to Dance series; in fact even the full concept of the sixth instalment wasn't fully realized. The 2CD compilation listed above was sub-titled "Session 1", the idea being that a subsequent Session 2 album would cover the usual IOtD techno selection while Session 3 would feature demos received by the label. There were even plans for a "limited edition luxury record case" and a multimedia CDROM about the label and its artists ...but sadly, as far as I know, only Session 1 was ever released.

I can agree about the Locust-track being the best one but the general level of quality is pretty high. Nearly all the tracks are highly enjoyable and most remixes here are totally new tracks, using only very few elements of the original. The best example is probably Alex Reese's version of Kenny Larkin's "Loop 2"
The main ingredient in those days was JAZZ: lots of saxophones, trumpets, big bass sounds, drum-patterns, loops, and samples. Those sounds give the music even more class and have nothing to do with the aggressive dancefloor madness that was still to come later on. That's probably why I used to make love to this with my first real girlfriend...
To me this stuff doesn't sound the least bit dated, even after more than 10 years. Together with Goldie's "Timeless" and Aphrodite's 1st album, one of my most cherished d
