just to satisfy my own curiosity, all music guide has a blurb on drill 'n'
bass. they also consider RDJ album to be drill n bass. interestingly
enough, they also chose to put feed me weird things in drill and IDM, but
they also consider BoC's music has the right as an important IDM album
although i would consider it more to be trip hop. i mean, if roni size, ltj
bukem, photek, and goldie are drum n bass, then i can see how RDJ album,
lunatic harness and feed me weird things are different, but at that point we
all consider those to be idm albums so i guess there's no point in having
drill n bass. its just idm jungle or something. i've never heard animals
on wheelsl, clifford gilberto, plasmalamp or mung, and if anyone on this
list has i would really appreciate some feedback on what kind of music this
is.
in the opinion of all music guide:
Soon after album-based British techno producers like Aphex Twin and
Squarepusher got their hands on drum'n'bass during the mid-'90s, they
naturally twisted it to their own ends. The result was Drill'n'bass, a
spastic form of breakbeat jungle that relied on powerful audio software and
patient programming to warp old midtempo beats and breaks into a frenzied,
experimental potpourri of low-attention-span electronic music. Beginning in
mid-1995, three figures led the charge with pioneering EPs: Aphex Twin
(Hangable Auto Bulb), Luke Vibert's Plug project (Plug 1), and Squarepusher
(Conumber). The following year, drill'n'bass went overground with
full-length releases by each of the above, most notably Plug's Drum'n'bass
for Papa and Squarepusher's debut album Feed Me Weird Things. Soon the rush
was on, and a group of artists emerged with immediately identifiable ties to
drill'n'bass, including Animals on Wheels, Amon Tobin, Mung, and Plasmalamp.
Drill'n'bass receded into the deep underground by 1998, an unsurprising
event given the style's extreme nature.
