Brainticket - Celestial Ocean - 10-Jul-08 01:53 PM
The original Celestial Ocean was a masterpiece of avante-garde acid rock. Unfortunately, this release has been pressed too hot and has a short gap of silence between each track - something you'd expect from a mix CD a friend burned for you in the space of an hour. Included in this sub-standard package are a blurry 12"x12" cover insert, the foldout from the CD version, and an obscure sew-on patch with 'Brainticket' silk-screened onto it. Poorly mastered and (most likely) poorly bootlegged, this is easily the worst way to expierence the prodigious recordings of Brainticket.
Goldie - Inner City Life - 16-Sep-06 03:26 AM
Inner City Life is possibly the most famous tune in Jungle/Drum & Bass history, so it's no suprise that it's had its fair share of remixes. The 'Original Edit' featured here is not actually the 'original' version. It has been trimmed down length-wise to fit on the disc. As for the other remixes, everything is excellent! With artists such as Photek, 4Hero, and Rabbit In The Moon, you'd expect them to be. While this album is not intended for front-to-back listening, "Rabbit In The Moon's Return To Vocalic City" is a must have; it's a near acapella (there's a few strings and fx in the background) of Inner City Life, an extreme rarity! If you're a diehard Timeless fan, then you need to have this in your collection. Anyone else, feel free to grab the remixes on other compilations.
Sunchase - Remember Me - 14-Sep-06 09:48 AM
The original version of 'Remember Me' is little more than a half-hearted attempt at producing a vocal heavyweight. However, the Illskillz remix is definitely more than that. The A-Side is by far one of the best epic D tunes I've heard to date, placing along the same lines as John B's 'Up All Night'. This is one of those rare records that spins as well in the club as in your home; the sort of record you really can't afford to 'pick up later'.
No Artist - Songs Of The Humpback Whale - 09-Jul-06 03:56 AM
Whale music... some people might think I'm crazy (and some already do), but those whales can sing! There's some incredibly deep musical content here thats worth discovering, either as a whole, or as a sample. But trust me, if you make music, or can appreciate ANY kind of music, pick this one up.
Renegade Featuring Ray Keith - Terrorist / Something I Feel - 09-Jul-06 03:44 AM
Now that is an oldskool Jungle piano riff! This is truly a child of the heyday of Jungle, back when Reeces and Amens were considered top of the line. About half way through the track there is a nice vocal sample that *almost* changes the overall mood of the tune. Definitely a classic!
