- Blindingly good selection of tracks here. This was super cheap up until a few years ago. Think I got it for $5 at Half Priced Books in the late 00s?
You had me at "PFM remixes The Art of Noise". There's a lot of top work here, remixing an all time favourite artist.- Why is this release in the albums' section? Should be moved to compilations.
Thought was a largely unknown album, not sure it's sales or commercial success but a real diamond of an album that should one in anyones collection who appreciates something unique. Drum and Bass did not hang around commercially for long (after Goldie and a few others), but this is a timeless classic, bringing out the original AON songs, in a far better way.
Awesome tracks. This is well up there with all the Moving Shadow and Headz compilations from around that time. Lemon D and Doc Scott tunes are probably the most well known ones but all excellent remixes which have not dated in nearly 20 years which is impressive testament to the skills of these producers.
Quality production on all fronts as some of the biggest in the dnb game ( at the time ) give their interpretations of the seminal band inna dnb stylee. Really, every one of these cuts is top notch - with most blending 2-step style beats ( the burgeoning sound at the time) with lush atmospherics and big subs. Most come across pretty damn tuff with the winners being Dom & Roland showing masterful restraint for over 3 mins before he goes Reese, PFM bringing Looking Good style funk, J Magik rolling out a creepy headz breaker that you could fool for Hidden Agenda, and Doc Scott steadily stepping his 2 step beat found in some of his most anthemic cuts, but never going dark. The winners are Lemon D's brilliant paranoid jazz funk workout take on Eye Of a needle ( featured on Doc Scott's Mixmag CD) and the halftime start into a proper bounce on Yebo by the unknown Lightfoot. Quality stuff all around.
