My husband bought this because it was his favorite CD when he was a teenager, running around and partying with his friends. Now that he's older, he can't remember why he thought it was so cool.

It really should be a staple in any D n' B collection. He makes guys like Roni Size look like child's play, although he has a place in my CD collection as well :)

The sampling is at times hilarious and his production is very full and lush. Sometimes it does sound a little dated and the looping becomes a little obvious and repetitive, but I'd say that only happens 1 out of 5 or 6 songs... and it doesn't keep up like that for long. But the songs that are good(and there are alot), are amazing. and you can definitely see how Aphex Twin was influenced by this. Every once in a while it will break down into an all out Drill n' base Solo!

An amazing release and full of all sorts quirks and lovely humor. my advice is to be sure to listen to the CD's all the way thru like, it's so much better that way. And your getting 2 CDs for the price of one!

If your into D n' B, Luke Vibert(in general), or any of his Warp/Rephlex buddies, I highly recommend this.

Ok, so in '98 I picked up this album, used, from my local store, for really cheap. I don't remember what prompted me to get it, I didn't even know what Drum and Bass was at the time. IT IS CLASSIC! Luckiest purchase ever! I thought it was some extremely underground album (ok, so maybe I was right), but it is core genre, and extremely listenable to boot. If I could have only one D+B album, this would be it! Buy it! NOW!

I bought this album when it was first released in my younger days. I grew up in the mid-west(kansas). I remember going to the mall and asking the store person if they had any drum&bass music. He simply replied "you mean like African?". Needless to say somehow I found this album and fell in love with it. It was my first intro to this type of electro-music. I still consider it a classic music album full of variety and textures that any "music lover with a beat"would appreciate. Give it a try I belive it's worth it!

This double disc is definately in my top 5 all time albums. Extremely musical, considering all the dark techstep coming out in 96, and soooo well produced. Luke Vibert always has been one to mix genres and this is no exception. Jazz, DnB, classical, soul, you name it and its on here and it all works to form an incredible DnB album. Many of the songs are through composed (non repetition of musical sections) and this makes for really adventurous music that takes the listener on a journey. GET YOUR ASS TO MARS AND BUY IT!!!
