[wellcharge]

i wish i had the 2 cd version

it reminds me of going curling,not really in a boring way,just that i listened to it while curling

do people know what curling is?

[sonic sphere]

great album. i've got it in the car on cassette and still listen to it quite frequently.

[atsonicpark]

great album!

[Sonic Youth Gossip]

yeah it is really good. too bad drum and bass was only good for about 5 years.
now we have shite like pendulum. jesus.

[atsonicpark]

jam some photek up in this bitch

[_slavo_]

speaking of which, i haven't really heard that much drum'n'bass in general (some 2 albums by Goldie, some Roni Size, some Adam F, one or two albums by Photek) and that's about it.
can you recommend me some 'landmark' albums, just for the fun of it?

thats not true really.
ive been djing dnb for more than 15 years, and even tho nowdays i dont enjoy it as much as i used to, this music genre still has its quality producers.
pendulum is just the 'band' that made it to the charts, and so they got a lots of attention. but still there are people like Calibre(!!!), Marcus Intalex, D Bridge etc who still make very soulful and enjoyable drum and bass.

Timeless really is timeless

[pop punk will eat itself]

I love the section that begins at the 12:50 mark on the title track: a really lush and breezy synth line comes into play for about a minute, but then out of nowhere this incredibly eerie string(?) sample begins and drowns out everything -- tension builds, the vocalist warbles feverishly, and then a fucking sexy, low-frequency thumping proceeds to dominate. One of my favorite moments in DnB.

[Sonic Youth Gossip]

my favourite is where the drums kick in on it. he's really good at his breaks

Get these two albums. Bloody awesome they be.

On the subject of drum and bass I went to see Roni Size last night. God was it good. Although saying that, Bug* was a tad disappointing.

anyone got any good acid house reccomendations? Looking for some stuff that's a bit darker than usual.

there aren't really many landmark albums, you should try searching for blogs that upload classic mixes from 1994 about to 1998

[atsonicpark]

Slavo, are you on the noise boards? The people on there tend to know their shit, I'd ask on this thread:

http://chondriticsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=75

I'm very interested in some d n b myself, would love to one day find an album that blows my mind as much as modus operandi..

[atsonicpark]

I'll ask for you actually.

[Hip Priest]

It's a very cool LP.

There is an excellent drum n bass internet radio station from Poland called "Radio Nadaje Drum n Bass". Check it out, if you like, or don't if you'd rather not.

I'd definitely second that - Timeless is a good album, but I think that the album format really doesn't represent what DnB was about. I don't really have much DnB because I never wanted to listen to it anywhere other than a filthy club where the bass was loud enough to make your liver hallucinate.

yeah, i'd buy the odd single (the big ones that came out on CD) but the best ways to listen to drum n bass not in a club (and clubs weren't an option for me back then) were the old tape packs they used to do where you'd get a box set of 10 tapes for 20 quid or something that would have various DJs sets taped from one rave or another. also tapes of pirate radio sessions that would circulate from someone who knew someone who lived in london.

i have a few of these tape packs and have just started to digitise them. i might upload some.
