Electronic > Drum 'N' Bass / Jung Electronic

Advantages: Quality Tunes!
Disadvantages: Too hecktick for your parents!

This compilation is absolutly out of this world, even after these few years, im still not bored of it and could listen to over and over again. If you dont own this cd, you need to go buy it. It's the type of cd you can just put on whilst relaxing in your room, chilling with your friends or even hosting a party. The smooth beats and uptempo sound really gets you listening and hungry for more. My friend first had this cd and she put it on one night ...

Advantages: Original, beautiful, creative, imaginative
Disadvantages: Still a little to hard or a little too soft for extremists

New Forms is one of the only drum’n’bass albums to make it into mainstream acceptance. Roni has managed to make music that appeals to fans of normal types of dance music without alienating true drum’n’bass fans. This feat cannot be overlooked as the two styles of music, although similar to an extent, are very hard to mix. True drum’n’bass as I would call it is some of the most intense music you will ever hear, with ultra-fierce drums and stomach ...
...masses has always ended up with watered down pap that is too weak and lame for the drum’n’bass massive, and still not dancey enough for the mainstream that it was intended for. (and no, I can’t think of any better descriptions than dancey!) The hybridisation of drum’n’bass and ‘normal’ music resulted in Ambient drum’n’bass, which is sort of like drum’n’bass without the intensity, and sort of like dance without the beat. This leaves it as quite ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliantly put together, over an hour in length
Disadvantages: No new sounds, similar to previous albums, orchestral voice mixes are annoying

Goldie's music has always been very controversial. He has always had close links with Metalheadz the drum and bass company which produce hot up and coming new artists. Goldie however has been on the scene for 10 years plus. Since his debut double EP Timeless was released in 95' people have realise that Goldie's talents are innumerable. Incredible mixing of the most creative sounds ever produced on the electronic scene. However I feel he may have ...
...recorded at Angel Sound and Trident Studios in London and features the following tracks: 1. Mother VIP 2. What you won't do for love 3. Hyena 4. Kaiser Salsek 5. Judged by colour heard by sound seen by blind 6. Unkle 7. What you won't do for love (grooverider remix) In my opinion the grooverider remix of "what you wont do for love" is the best song on the album. It combines all the things we have come to love about Goldies music. The unbelievable ... Read review

Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: I'm now £9 poorer

...is the drum n bass in this album? Unless I'm mistaken, one of the tracks on here is guitar based and could be classed as a rock song. Nothing against rock but if I wanted a rock song I'd have bought one. Annoying synthesizer most of the way through, half hearted feeble bass line when there is one at all. Average easy going album, just don't buy this album if you are a hard drum n bass fan. You will be very disappointed. It is a shame that Pendulum ... Read review

Advantages: It's JMJ!
Disadvantages: Sounds a bit too much like other stuff in certain places

...to the same themes. Oxygene 7 reminds me of something from Bladerunner if I'm honest but is still a great track. Oxygene 8, One of my personal faves & I never understood why this wasn't released as a single as it had all the right ingredients to be a dance hit & make JMJ a household name. This wouldn't be out of place in any club & would certainly find a willing audience in places lke Ibiza. Oxygene 9, It has more elements of Pink Floyd & Magnetic ...
...back in about 1980. Oxygene 11, another one that reminds me too much of Magentic Fields & Equinoxe Oxygene 12, another track that could have been released as a single & would have easily found an audience in the clubs. Also has elements that remind me Bladerunner (its that background arpeggio!). Oxygene 13, this is very definately the most Oxygene-esque of all these tracks ( as I recall this was normally one of the last tracks he played at the ... Read review
