...and its follow up album, Maximum Bass 2, although lacking a bit in the great DJ department, has the track selection to make up for it. Basically, if you like these genres, this album is a must have. But, Maximum Bass is missing something (not sure what), that Maximum Bass 2 compensates for. It's good to have one, but it's not good to have one with out the other. ... more
DJ Richie Don: Not a name I've heard before, but that's not really the issue here. Kicking off with hip-hop, You Can Do It by Ice Cube, the album progresses through four genres of dance, sectioned off and compiled. I have noticed that the bass is emphasised, so this is a must for anyone who likes hip-hop / drum'n'bass / garage / or house and has an ICE system in their car. The main thing I like about this album is the fact that Richie Don mixes Chopper into Super Sharp Shooter exactly the way I like it done. As SSS draws to an end, you can just hear the sound of rotor blades in the background, getting faster and faster, until there is the familiar helicopter whirr. SSS finishes at the precise moment when the announcer breaks in with "Ladies and gentlemen etc..." Some clean cutting and mixing from Richie Don makes this album one of my favorites in my collection. Also featuring a cameo appearance by UK Apachi to introduce Original Nuttah (Shy FX ft UK Apachi), this album really does deliver some of the greates tracks of the four genres it covers.

All in all, this album does have considerable value for money, and its follow up album, Maximum Bass 2, although lacking a bit in the great DJ department, has the track selection to make up for it. Basically, if you like these genres, this album is a must have. But, Maximum Bass is missing something (not sure what), that Maximum Bass 2 compensates for. It's good to have one, but it's not good to have one with out the other.
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 ... ...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 of these tracks, particularly the uncensored version of My Neck, My Back!
I would recommend this album ...
