Advantages: A really top album, with wide ranging appeal
Disadvantages: A bit dark and heavy for some in places...

...London Records. The album was timeless - sorry - "Timeless" and featured very heavy drum rhythms, sparkling production work, and a wide range of influences and tempos for the tracks. Guitars and other "proper" instruments being used liberally & vocals courtesy of Diane Charlemagne, a silky voiced associate showed this could be a mature style of music, not just for 16 year olds with a GlaxoSmithkline level of chemical content, covered head-to-toe ...
...by one Rob Playford, who aficionados of the scene will recognise as the boss of the Moving Shadow record label, another great stable that has been turning out some of the most advanced and innovative music in this genre for well over a decade. Some people think that the greatness of the album was more down to Playford himself than Goldie, though this is debatable. Certainly it did no harm to have Playford's hand on the tiller. Here's a quick breakdown ... Read review

Advantages: nice listening
Disadvantages: not much

...Anyway Goldie and Timeless Goldie is nicknamed Goldie not for the gold fillings in his teeth but for his golden hair worn in dread locks in his hip hop days. However timeless is best described as jungle I think. This CD Timeless it really is a landmark in the music of this Genre. I had not realised till now that this music is 10 years old it was published in1995. Listening to it now I think it is timeless I can hear myself listening to this beautiful ...
...Track one Timeless whispers and wails through my music system to my ears the word timeless fluttering around the air this then bursts into drum and bass the music slowly getting bigger Inner city life inner city pressure wails Goldie and D Charlemagne. The drum bests getting more insistent. The music captures the feel of the city at night. Wanting to say up and rock all night, Hey that’s how Glastonbury always grabs me the feeling of a dark ...

Advantages: Top tunes, nice production
Disadvantages: Some tunes are a bit boring

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. Goldie provides a great incite into the deep sounds of drum n bass. From his jungle classic of 'Inner City Life', Goldie showcasses the rich and ragged roots of North London nightlife. The Metalheadz boss rinses ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent mixing, sampling, lyrics and blend of an album
Disadvantages: The argument of "What is Dubstep and is this it?"

Untrue is the second album by dubstep producer, Burial. But, first let's get an idea of the genre, dubstep, which, since 2006, seems to be slowly rising in popularity but still leaves most people (including myself) completely confused as to what it is. Basically, dubstep is a genre, which has its influence from the London's garage scene in early 2000 and also a drum and bass feel towards it. But, if you're still confused, then Untrue is a good template ...
...this album with others is difficult, if you're going towards the direction of Massive Attack or Boards of Canada, I would say it's a mash up between those two artists, but, simply put, Untrue is its own unique sound, and its dubstep, but if you are still unsure, who cares. ... Read review
