best bass album? Review ofMaximum Bass Vol.1 (Mixed By DJ Richie Don) - Various Artistsby
R4v1
Advantages: lots of types of music Disadvantages: none
...I brought this album for £14.99 from HMV, when it came out.
The track list had some impressive tracks on it, but nothing current, and ones that have done the compilation rounds before.
However, I actually like to listen to it, after a couple of times admittedly, I've grown to love it. And although it isn't a collection of up to date tunes, the mix of new with old works well and is pretty wicked.
Whether you like the drum and bass sound of Andy C or the Ganja Kru, the hip hop of Snoop Dogg or Ice Cube, the hard house sound of Public Domain or the wicked madness of Dizzee Rascal and Roots Manuva, there has got to be something here for everyone, and as I said, despite the variety of styles represented on the album, it works well.
Just one warning - this isn't one to be played to your parents, there's some pretty XXX stuff on some...
