They dont chopem breaks like that anymore. In 1993 this sounded truly coming from outer space, the beats are so good, listening to any of these to tracks is an experience.
"Meditation" shows what ambient jungle was and should have stayed : wonderful melodies and hard, very hard beats to induce you into a trance (no, really), no other words about it. Why is it that so many later producers forgot the formula, putting either good music over weak beats or industrial noise over fantastic drums?
"Warpdrive" is equally exhilarating, real hauting atmosphere and sinister chords with those same mighty mad amen rolls.
In fact, in 2004 it stills sounds likes its been dropped by an alien. GO BUY!
