Bass Race Vol.1 - Various Artists

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. Tony Cleman provides a great incite into the deep sounds of drum n bass. From jungle classics, Coleman showcasses the rich and ragged roots of North London nightlife. The Hospital 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

Advantages: It just feels right
Disadvantages: where is vol 2 ???

...The Viva Diablo Blanco compilation is a carefully selection of hyms of drum'n'bass / ambient tunes from the mid 90's. You'll be sure to rebember tracks such as Apollo 440's "Ain't Talking about dub" and Fat Boy Slim's "Song for Linda" and at the same time recall some less mainstream artists such as The Aloof and The Art of Noise and on top some very good remixes by the likes of the brazillian collective Filla Brazilia and others. All in all this album does really capture the essence of the whole snowboarding sub-culture, so the snowboarder on the album's cover isn't just a fluke. In a few words this compilation is bold, young and fast paced, but still a ambient album that you can play over and over.... Read review

Advantages: Much harder that Vol 1, Anne Savage really shows she can do it!
Disadvantages: There has to be some disadvantages but im not making any!

...Anne Savage makes a come back...crank the bass up high and enjoy!This has to be one of my favourite albums by Euphoria and always will be! It's much harder & faster than Frantics Vol 1. remixs are totally different from the other albums, which make it one of the best! Hard house fans will love this, and you'll instantly get hooked and captivated into choice of mixes this is a must by album! Cd 1 (Future Frantic) certainly gets you in the mood! With tunes like "Music is the drug", Savage really experimented with this cd and her mixes worked to a great standard! Alot of people really like this cd and i can see why! Cd 3, again, has to be my favourite, (Classic Bounce) and boy is it bouncy! Andy Whitby really wow'ed everyone with his mixes and left evryone wanting more of his bouncy tracks! "systemsux", "Fantasic thing", "Feel so good... Read review
