This is an excellent album to buy if you are into jungle or drum and bass music. it has loads of diffent sounds and beats and is an altogether great uplifting cd to listen to. I have had this cd since it was first realeased in 2003 and have listened to it time and time again i have never got bored of the tracks. if you are into dnb then you will no dought of heard some of these tracks and know what i mean when i say that i feel this includes some of the best music around.
My favorites on the cds are as follows:
CD-1:
Track 10. DJ Mac - R U Feeling Me?
Track 11. Todd Edwards - Beckoncall 2003
Track 14. End Productions - Are You Ready From The End?
CD-2:
Track 1. Adam F - Stand Clear (Origin Unknown remix)
Track 5. The Streets - Has It Come To This
Track 7. Di - Shake UR Body
Track 8. DJ Zinc - Echobox
Track 9. Dillinja - Twist 'Em Out
Track 14. Di - Don't Wanna Know (Dillinja remix)
Track 15. Shimon & Andy C - Body Rock
19. DJ Marky - LK (Carolina Carol Bela)

The reason i like these tracks is that they arent quite true drum and bass they are a more dance mix of drum and bass and all have fantastic lyrics to go with the tune.

Here are some of the lyrics:
~Adam F - Stand Clear~

Die for the cause (*whispering*)
Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!
Yeaaaah.. motherfuuuucker!

[ Lil' Fame ]
Feel the First Family energy, alright
Remember me? Lil' Fame raps niggas to tunes of Kenny G
I compose the rugged, I woulda written yo' shit too
But you ain't got enough money in your budget, dude fuck it
Step up and get your whole band slaughtered
You ain't got the raw plus you twenty gram shorter
M.O.P. ban orders, I show you niggaz Faces Of Death
manslaughter, liver than camcorder
My salutants polluting this, quick to shoot a bitch
I'm bugged like the Y2K computer glitch
I bring the hardcore for soldiers that got war
And the thugs in the crowd screaming 'YEAH WE LIKE IT RAW'
All wacks'll get the best of it (right), give 'em the rest of it
Saluting on tour, autographing bitches' breasteses
It's the legendary M.O.P., we put it down everywhere we go
But you don't hear me though!

Stand clear.. notice ain't nothing but soldiers up in here
Rhyme for the cause.. heavy metal shit, quick, grip settle it
BITCH! Die for the cause..

[ Billy Danze ]
It's elementary, for a quarter of a century
In and outta penitentiaries
I survive, I am a survivor G
Got more slick shit with me than MacGyver see
I'm your rivalry, cousin ride with me
I'm the international cat that you tryna be
I am (REAL) {REAL} (REAL) {REAL} (REAL), yes awh
When I'm in the G-men stanze, it's impossible to touch Danze
I got a deranged temper, with a short fuse
I don't know what you thought, but you gon' lose
I'm bad news.. saying turn me loose
Since Tupac got popped, who the fuck you think got the Juice?
Bill Danze, [DO IT FOR YOUR PEOPLE]
I got automatics [RACK] will fuck up your ego, in fact
Claim turf, whenever the lama's quat
We hold down Brownsville like the motherfucking Tomahawks

Stand clear.. notice ain't nothing but soldiers up in here
Rhyme for the cause.. heavy metal shit, quick, grip settle it
BITCH! Die for the cause..

[ Lil' Fame ]
Smack a moose upside ya head, like Kobe when he mack in his broads
[IT'S] your maveranage
Watch who you approach nigga, 'fore you get smoked nigga
I'm O.G. in this game, coach nigga
Straight loc' nigga, what the fuck you thought?
You get caught in the middle, tryna dribble on my court
When niggas [ACT SWEET] this nigga [CLAP HEAT]
Jack you when you wouldn't put your brains in the backseat

[ Billy Danze ]
I'ma give you twenty-two seconds to explain to me
Why the fuck you playing games with me
Make a nigga dust off his automatic and bang what you thought kids
[ IS IT REALLY BILLY DANZE? ] Who the fuck you think it is?
By the law of the street, the best way to track his ass
Is to catch his ass [ ??? his ass ] and to jack his ass
You ain't untouchable nigga for what it's worth
I'm the greatest, grimiest, slimiest nigga on earth

Stand clear.. notice ain't nothing but soldiers up in here
Rhyme for the cause.. heavy metal shit, quick, grip settle it
BITCH! Die for the cause..

~Di - Shake UR Body~

I see you standing on the corner of the dance floor,
and the way you look is oh so fine.
But there a problem 'cause that isn't what you came for,
you ain't gonna get away tonight?
So I'm gonna be the one to step to you,
get you in the mood to dance all night.
Don't let suspicions, inhibitions get the better of you,
cause you know the mood is right.

Shake your body up down stomp your feet now spin around,
let the rhythm take control as the beat is takin over your soul.
Shake your body up down stomp your feet now spin around,
let the rhythm take control as the beat is takin over your soul.

I see clocking tryna block it but you can't find,
rhymes got you hot to feel the vibe.
Moving your body to the rhythm of the bassline,
so just let it go relax your mind.
You ain't got to be afraid who's watching you,
if you came to leave this just behind.
You just got to handle business on the floor,
come on let your body bounce with mine.

Shake your body up down stomp your feet now spin around,
let the rhythm take control as the beat is takin over your soul.
Shake your body up down stomp your feet now spin around,
let the rhythm take control as the beat is takin over your soul.

Twist it stomp it bounce it shake it,
'cause you know the vibe is what you make it.
Twist it stomp it bounce it shake it,
'cause you know the vibe is what you make it.
Twist it stomp it bounce it shake it,
'cause you know the vibe is what you make it.

Shake your body up down stomp your feet now spin around,
let the rhythm take control as the beat is takin over your soul.
Shake your body up down stomp your feet now spin around,
let the rhythm take control as the beat is takin over your soul.

~DJ Marky - LK (Carolina Carol Bela)~

We like it, I like it, you like it too
Staring our MC's on wack support the movement crew
See all I know is this tune, tears of lovin you
So anytime we're around this is what we do

It's the way
That we play this sound
It's the way
That we bring this sound to you
It's the way
That we play this sound
It's the way
That we bring this sound to you

Eh yo
This is the way that I can best connect to you
Don't let nobody ever your feelings
We all get times when we just don't know what to do
There aint a day when I don't get that feelin
But about tonight, the vibe is right
Am I'm damned if I can hold it any longer either
Just for tonight, the vibe is right
Am I'm damned if I can hold it any

Becuz it's the way
That we play this sound
It's the way
That we bring this sound to you
It's the way
That we play this sound
It's the way
That we bring this sound to you

Now as I'm singin the party's swinging
My DJ is bringing it loud
Feelin energy from people in the crowd
And I,
You know we got it like this baby
And I,
You know we got it like that baby

Now as I'm singin the party's swinging
My DJ is bringing it loud
Feelin energy from people in the crowd
And I,
You know we got it like this baby
And I,
You know we got it like that
Rough track

It's the way
That we play this sound
It's the way
That we bring this sound to you
It's the way
That we play this sound
It's the way
That we bring this sound to you
Eh yo
