Pryda - Rymd / Armed - 16-Aug-07 02:14 PM
Awesome release - in hindsight the name 'Pryda' is a bit of give away, but just from listening to it I would never guessed it was produced by Eric "Call On Me" Prydz. Both tracks present lush strings and progressive soundscapes, with Rymed being the more laidback of the two tracks, and Armd having a more aggressive punchy bassline.

ODB* - ODB, Don't Go Breaking My Heart - 20-Feb-07 12:53 AM
This is the anti-hero to the Elton John and Kiki Dee classic. The singing is so out of tune and grating that rather than render it unlistenable, it draws you in as you wait to see if it could possibly get any harsher. You get the impression that they were certainly enjoying themselves during production, which, with music, can only be a good thing.

Various - AWOL: A Way Of Life - Live - 26-Oct-06 02:52 PM
My mates and I used to go to jungle raves from 1994-1999, buy vinyl, listen to kool fm and this CD came out at a time when rave sets were only ever released on cassette. The relentless whistles, horns, bass, mic-reverb and general brocking-out capture the live experience in a way I have never experienced before (even compared to "Metallica - live shit, binge & purge recorded in Mexico City").

With an absolute heavy-weight track selection (mostly remixed specifically for this album), GQ & Fearless giving a peerless display on the mic and 5 legendary DJ/producers this is by far-and-away the absolute "must-own" CD for anyone considering themselves a junglist/d hed/whatever-you-want to-label-yourself.

Full Intention - Connected 02: 10 Years Of Full Intention - 21-Aug-06 12:01 PM
A seriously, seriously good release: have just had my inaugural listen, to all 3CDs in consecutive order. The first two CDs are simply awesome - I feel emotionally spent in the same way you feel on the journey home from a top-notch club night. Sometimes retrospective albums can sound a bit unimaginative, especially if the tunes are played in chronological order. Fortunately this is not the case here. The second CD has some inventively used accapellas (particularly the Jocelyn Brown section), and both mixes propel themselves forward with a certain amount of gusto. The 3rd CD, un-mixed for the anoraks/purists, features some of their better tunes, in full, unbridled glory.

Municipal Waste - 28-Jul-06 08:19 AM
A return to the golden age of thrash metal, so much so that I'm considering growing my hair long again. In my opinion much of what constitutes good metal is a solid, relentless drum track, which all their tracks have in abundance. There is also plenty of screechy lyrics, which can be a bit much at times, but stays true to the genre nonetheless. Favourite tracks are "Guilty Of Being Tight" and "Nailed Casket" (check the effortless switches of syncopation throughout).
