Ultimate Drum 'n' Bass Album, The - Various Artists

Advantages: loads of tracks
Disadvantages: some seem quite dated

...A six CD box set which showcases a huge selection of tracks from the drum and bass scene. Drum and bass has gained huge popularity over the years and has gained alot of followers thanks to its breaknecks speeds of drums, bass and sample ridden madness. These tracks show you what is all about and my gosh there is alot of them. The tracks span right back to the early nineties and some can sound very dated but interesting nether the less. Producers which stand out on the album are the big heavy weights such as 'Dillinja' with his awesome track 'Grimey' with its huge pitch bending bass synth and the unforgettable vocal sample, this one will keep you going till the early hours. Then there is J-magik, with his equally powerful but more jazzy power rhythms. If your a fan of this hi speed music you will defenitely find this box set... Read review

Advantages: good music,various artists, good value for money, enjoyable
Disadvantages: not for absolutely everyone

...I have had Dj Hypes drum and bass arena album since around christmas last year, and i am still not bored of it. It has a lot of different artists on it, with a range of different types of drum and bass. I love to listen to this album when driving, tidying the house, or just doing nothing. it is a really good back round album when i have friends round too, as everyone enjoys the music it has on it. I also love to dance to the songs on this album, but i do not let many people see me doing that !!! I would really reccomend this album to anyone, it could suit many peoples music taste. It is also pretty good value for money, seeing as there are so many artists on it.... Read review

Advantages: GREAT MUSIC
Disadvantages: NONE

...so many drum & bass, cds so little time Pick this one . nicely selected, well programmed, and a good overview of the genre, This takes you from the roots of D+B to its present day dizzy heights, this well priced two-disc set is what you need to get a party going. from Goldie and Roni Size to the Rebel MC with a little bit of LTJ Bukem to smooth things out in a smooth fashion. This cd is a really good two hour history lesson and is a great reminder of just how great the UK is at inventing new styles of music .Spread over two cds this is a great way to kill a few hours getting lost in fast beats and bottomless bass lines ,great for motorway driving !!!...
