I just picked up an excellent compilation called 'This is Jungle' on
Ultrasound. The chewns were compiled by Nicky Blackmarket of Blackmarket
Records and they are all produced this year. A good section of reggae,
darkside and ballad style cuts (16 tracks). Having ignored this scene for
a couple of years I have been most impressed by some of the work that has
been done over this summer in London. It has come light years from the
rave crap of 'Sesames Treat/Trumpton' , and seems to be moving off into
directions determined by the artists background, ie reggae, techno, soul.
