Just A Souvenir

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Drum and Bass - Jungle
by: Squarepusher

October 27, 2008
It's a shame that artists can lose their flair - maybe not forever. This is a major disappointment - can't tell the difference between tunes on this one. Hello Everything was a let-down. Ultravisitor a lot better. I'm not an album person. Rate each tune individually in iTunes and you'll see they get better backward chronologically. Big Loada & Hard Normal Daddy are the best. I'm waiting for the next best new...

I agree with most of the reviewers comments - dark, smokey, jass/fusion etc. etc. I would suggest that anyone who enjoys works from early Soft Machine (first to fifth), Ian Carr's Nucleus, Isotope to Angelo Badalamenti's Fire Walk With Me should give this album a listen.

well what to say about this cd?
when i first got this cd i had only heard the song angelica before which i absolutely loved so much it made me buy the greatest hits.
when i first bought this album it took some listening to to get used to, but my god now it is one of my favourite cds, i can listen to this cd again and again. all the songs are so different in pace and melody, some songs been just in a state of pure idilic ecstacy while others have eclectic beats to rock youre socks off mostly having the very haunting vocals of the female singer, and ill tell you now her vocals are soomething else, very nice to listen to.

Fabriclive37 - Caspa & Rusko

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Drum and Bass - Jungle
by: Caspa & Rusko

December 10, 2007
Probably one of the best dubstep compilations out there at this time.

Caspa and Rusko take you on a journey through some of the less heard of dubstep, with mostly their own tracks, but broken up with the tracks from the likes of such DJs as Cotti and Coki. Saying that it is not strictly dubstep, it does speed up a bit towards the end and the trance and garage influences are very apparent in some of the beginning and end songs.

I have given this 5 stars because not only do i love this album deeply, almost everyone i have played it too has gone on to buy it. The popularity is such that i went to a party last week and the DJ was playing a lot of tracks of this album!

Dubstep Allstars have a good few compilations out, but can ... Read More:

Drum 'n' Bass Arena Presents Friction & Fabio: Mixed By Friction and Fabio

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Drum and Bass - Jungle
by: DJ Friction

June 02, 2008
First of all, I think it's fair to give a brief introduction these two DJ's to any one new to Drum and Bass and of little knowledge, and looking to purchase some Drum and Bass which covers the entire Spectrum.

Friction is a prolific Artist, DJ and Label Owner, making his way through the ranks to become one of the elite of Drum and Bass with the likes of Andy C. As such his mixing skills are brilliant and it shows in his half of this compilation album.

Friction's half covers most of the genres of the versatile Drum and Bass genre from the Dark side of the spectrum with Noisia, Hive and Keaton to the more jump up orientated style that is the likes of DJ Hazard and Friction and K-Tee. There is great variation in Friction selections although largely the ... Read More:

The ironic thing is, I was living in the next street to singer Louise Rhodes in Didsbury, Manchester and used to see her around. The fact that someone just a few hundred yards away could produce an album as good as this is quite mind-blowing (but that's Manchester for you).

If it only had 'Gorecki' - a song that would be No.1 for weeks in any sane world - it would be great. That song is hopefully going to get some overdue recognition after being used in the TV ad for the new Tomb Raider game.

The lovely Eartha Kitt-like tone of Lou's voice and Andy Barlow's superb music is a killer combination. Forget the trip-hop/ D&B genre pigeonholing - it's just a fine piece of work in its own right.

Fabriclive40 - Noisia: Mixed By Noisia

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Drum and Bass - Jungle
by: Noisia

June 16, 2008
Noisia made their name in drum & bass but have also done some stunning electro & breaks tunes like "Gutterpump", so when I first heard this CD that is mostly tracks by Noisia themselves, I was a little bit surprised that it's not too diverse- this is strictly d&b all the way.

That said though, it is full-fat d&b with some of the thickest and noisiest basslines known to man and this is an outstanding mix. Tracks like Noisia's remix of Moby give it some serious depth.

One of the best d&b mix CDs you can get.
