Reviews & Discussion
LTJ Bukem is the master of the Progessive sound. There's Drum N' Bass for the Body, then there's Drum N' Bass for the Mind, and LTJ Bukem makes just that. Bukem takes you on a journey with each individual track, and when you're done, you want to go back...everytime. His track "Demon's Theme" is unreal. A little known fact is that there are 2 versions of this song, both by Bukem. The released version on his Logical Progesssion EP is phenominal, but his original version is even better. I've only been able to find it on "the Jackal" Soundtrack, but its so worth it. It was one of Bukem's first songs, from back in 1991!

Despite the frenetic nature of D'n'B drum programming there's something supremely mellow about this man's music - it's great equally for loved-up dancefloor-gurners or downtempo armchair stoners.
You can't beat a bit of Bukem!
