Various - Ultimate Drum And Bass Album

alienjones, Jan 16, 2007

A fairly decent selection of tracks from the drum n bass back archives, however although the sticker on the front advertises that the album features 'all the biggest guns on the scene', there are some notable omissions - Dom & Roland, Origin Unknown, Goldie, Technical Itch and LTJ Bukem, to name a few. It cannot really be called an 'ultimate' album, then. However, if you're judging the quality based on the actual tracks themselves, there's definitely some good club-centric wobbly bass stuff like Dillinja and Adam F, and quite a few very good classic tunes from back in the day like Deep Blue's Helicopter Tune, Blame's Music Takes you, Renegade's Terrorist and Omni Trio's Renegade Snares. There's also a fair bit of the lighter side of the genre, like High Contrast, PFM and Hyper-On Experience, but as stated before no real representation of the darker side at all.

Buy it if you want some unmixed versions of the tracks here, but don't expect an ultimate collection by any means. Would be a good purchase for someone who is not well-versed in drum n bass or not into the harder, darker side of the genre.
