I read all kinds of reviews saying how great the comp was and i ran
out and bought it. But to tell you the truth, i was fairly
disappointed. I mean, it's got some good breakbeats and all, but i
think it gets kind of tedius. Every song seems to have the same
boring synth sounds that really get on my nerves after a while.
It's like every track was recorded with the same cheep synthasizer.
If there are any samples in the songs is usualy only one that repeats
over and over.

There's a few tracks i dig like "horizons" and one with a rapper
(i forget his name). Disk B which is one long continuous mix i find
extreamly boring. It's got some good beats, but they change so rarely
you could take the whole disk and shorten it to one song and it'd be
much better IMO.

No to dis it too much, i think it's an ok d&b album. But compared to
Squarepusher's "Feed me wierd things" and Plug's "Drum and Bass for
Papa" (which i think are both pure brilliance) it kinda sounds plain.

does anyone else agree with me?
