Can only agree that City Lights should have got released. But this LP was a ground breaker and deserves to be in the collection. I remember hearing Groovrider smash it up at Tribal Gathering with these tracks. If only such a collection of ground breakers could be released now..

This Lp includes two of my favourite dnb-tunes ever!

Dillinja - Silver blade
Beautiful atmospheres, and a roaring amen smashing drop...Hard to put in words what feelings go through my head when I listen to this, mostly it just tells me something how life is...

Optical - Grey odyssey
This track is THE funk! Rolling beats with dreamy synths, just what I love!
