ive been listening to drum and bass as of late, and i was wondering if some people could give me some cd suggestions. Here is the drum and bass that ive heard, so that u know what i have been missing out on. Plug,Suarepusher, hab1, urmur bile, t-power, torque, and photek. What do i need to hear????? Also does any body know of some good drum and bass that has a lot of complicated synth melodies that accompany the rrythms?

I'm not sure, are you looking for only CD's or 12"'s also.. there's (imo) lots of great d'n'b that's not available on CD because the group hasn't made any CD's as a resullt that they have only came out with 12"s with 2 songs or so.. But you should definitely check the following out: Aphrodite - Amazon II 12" Aphrodite - Recuts II 12" Aphrodite - Tower Bass 12" PFM - anything :) (CD + 12") alex reece - OH GOD! this guy rules for intelligent drum'n'bass :) (CD+12) Rubber Johnny - DrumRolyPoly (CD+12) Arcon II - anything :) (12" only I think, not sure) Metalheadz - anything hope this helps.. there's also a new record out, with grafitti on the cover, really nice. It's probably out on CD too, as it's an LP (album). it's a bit like Squarepusher, and stuff. really distorted beats. -- __ __\ \ Aurafix aka Hillie / PHD ^ DAMONES (aka Rare Guy) / /_\ \ http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html \_____/ >> buh@clark.net >> < > .. >> .<>> >> > , m7= inducing mindwaves.. electronic techno muuusik controlled manually by a p h e x t wi n .. .. . . .

uCk! I wholeheartedly disagree with every bone in my body! (Okay, so I own copies of Timeless and Platinum Breakz....) I find most of the artists on Metalheadz to release simple, bland and uninspiring jungle tracks. It may have been innovative three years ago, but it hardly has a shelf-life of more than 6 months. Squarepusher on the other hand still tickles me almost a year after I bought it. O'well.... to each his own I guess..... :) Aaron onnow: new mixtape beta stage 4

The first band that comes to mind is Spring Heel Jack. They're newish album, "68 Million Shades..." is a wonderful mix of spacey jungle rhythms and ethereal melodies.... all sequenced with what must be very expensive gear, because it sounds so damn crisp! There's a couple cool drum'n bass tracks on We's debut ("As Is" on Asphodel) and Sharp Scientific's new 12" rocks my world. Lamb is more poppy, but still quite beautiful, and Sheep on Drugs... well, hehehe. :) Hope that helps..... Aaron

4-Hero, Jacob's Optical Stairway, Endemic Void, and on a more trip-hoppy w/ D&B thrown in tip, Cujo. If you want something that's not 4/4, check out Calcutta Cyber Cafe. It's on the ambient tip w/ weird Indian rhythms.

That would leave you with a fucking mess. Faster tempos = simpler melodies, or so I've been told. Che

Panacea - 'low profile darkness' real nasty stuff...I like it! some of the darkest, hardest shit I've come across. Makes Ed Rush sound like showtunes. Chrome CD 9 or LP 9 The LP has 5 tracks and the CD, 11. So far I've only listened to the LP, but I picked up the CD yesterday and am saving it for work tomorrow. word to the mothership, brock. np: David Holmes - 'this films crap lets slash the seats'
