This Drum and bass album which came off the turn tables in 2008 has shown to be a memorable journey indeed.
Skipping the ideas and context (check Wikipedia for that) i will dive right into my own review.
The bass range is fantastic in most of the songs and the introduction tune to each song is original and very pleasant to the ear incorporating a mix between the soft tunes often heard of form the European DnB artists (vast indeed) and the heavy hitting bass lines which really get your heart to beat a little faster.
The songs (unlike some *cough* tiesto) are not repetative each following a different theme, following a location (in the track title) leading to a varied and enjoyable listening with a high longevity. For those who like vocals in their DnB there are a couple of tracks to satisfy you.
Unfortunately these tracks don't have the ability to sound as good as they should on a poor set of speakers, a larger set with decent bass will do this album justice so there is no point judging these tracks if your listening to them on your iphone speakers (Gag).
Over all an enjoyable album i deem it
