Badmeaningood Vol.5 (Mixed By The Roots) - Various Artists

Advantages: A great look at the influences of The Prodigy
Disadvantages: This won't please their new commercial fans

...Why is this listed in techno? Liam Howlett gives an excellent showmanship on the wheels of steel, that gives a taste of Breaks and Hip Hop more than techno (don't see no Jeff Mills trickery here). CD was released under the pretence of 'Prodigy presents Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.1' with the idea that there would be further releases, unfortunantely the new fanbase that had heard the infamous Firestarter and Breath tracks did not seem to keen on The Prodigy showing where their musical roots originally layed when they were a little younger and showing off what music they liked off the stage. Sadly further releases had the plug pulled on them...

Advantages: Great Tunes
Disadvantages: None

...Fantastic album that NEEDS to be owned by anyone interested in drum n bass. If you like original Roni Size, Influx UK, Krust or Shy FX material, you will love this. This is where it all started, the true beggining of Jungle and Drum n Bass. Nicky B provides a great incite into the deep sounds of drum n bass. From jungle classics, Nicky B showcasses the rich and ragged roots of North London nightlife. The boss rinses beats after beats of pure bass, switching his amen samples with huge snare drum hits, all showered down with some ambience and filtered strings. Quite simply this is a masterpiece, meant for the speakers instead of the London gallerys! BUY THIS NOW!... Read review
