The term "drum & bass" was used first in dub-reggae. Since they helped
invent it they thought they would recapture the term. There have been 90's
d&b remixes of Sly & Robbie, but that's not what this new disc is about.
Howie B's dubbing and processing is quite cool and gritty. I recommend this
disc and the DVD single with the manga video. CT
