Ive had this CD for years, and ive recently gotten a little tired of the evil chaos pad sound that has become so popular in DnB, so I popped this one in again, and ~ahhhh~ like a breath of fresh air. I miss good jungle. The bass rolls smooth and powerful, and the pace keeps you moving. Lots of hip-hop/rap influence helps keep this one real ~ no evil dungeonmasters here.
This is definitely Dieselboy's BEST album ever, no question. The mixing is flawless and the track selection is insane. But, mind you, this album isn't like any of his others---it's a fresh Hip-Hop influenced Jungle sound. If you're a true Drum & Bass head then this album is just for you.
To me it sounds sort of like chillout music/dnb. The sixth session is great, another album you should get. Im starting to get into DnB.So far everythin is good, and Im really starting to like it, especially Dieselboy's work. Better description is, like you ever hear Acid House(where they play it in the chillout room in like raves)its sort of like that/the dnb. Well with this, I would say its good. It doesn't have the full blown out bass and isn't dark. I would recommend this right away to people wanting to get into a new genre under EDM(Electronic Dance Music)or if you want to get into DnB. Overall, not his best work, but good.
Bytheway, you can still jump up to these tunes even today. I'm a drum and bass Dj, and this is the album that made me realize drum and bass is definitely the way of the future. That's really saying something in a genre where a tune is considered passe about as soon as it's been released. God bless Dieselboy for this. Also, I must say that his first two releases are classic flawless examples of a skilled drum and bass Dj. But, then again. thats why I'm an everyday junglist.
I can't even begin to express the importance of this album to the US dn'b scene. If you don't own it- buy it. An ABSOLUTE must have for any bass head. This album, in retrospect, paved the way for Dieselboys current status as one of America's best dn'b dj's. NOW. There is no excuse for any head to not have this.
