Underrated peice of work...OK it wasn't the drum and bass follow up people where expecting, and yes it had lost the Playford era sounds but still there are some really heart felt moments on the album. I like it. |
||||||||

i like it. |

NOt a bad release, but not a great one either. Maybe Ill dig it out tonight and give it a whirl again. |
||||||||

i only have ring of saturn, the follow up of saturnzreturn. haven't given saturnzreturn a listen (maybe skimmed through it once or twice, i have the mp3s) optical co-produced it. he's my favourite producer in drum&bass. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Opticals a bit of a one trick pony...two step with phased bass...got really predictable really quickly (obviously that is just personal opinion). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i think dnb in general is very predictable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that can be said basicly about every drum&bass track 98 till now. it's a real simple way of descriping his tunes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really. There are producers out there who do try different things with a bit of diversity. Optical is very good, I just don't think he is the best out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it captures that moment in time when drum and bass started to get a bit tired perfectly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Yeah... I have this and .... I don't dig it. Back in early highschool I heard some insane drum n bass on the radio, went out to buy some, picked up this release and grooverider's mysteries of funk, and whereas mysteries is still cool they kinda killed drum n bass for me. I wanted the kinda dark bassline aggro shit. |

|
|
you needed Torque :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mysteries of funk. now there's an album that does that late 90s DnB sound well i learnt to juggle to that album :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also that techsteppy pop-DnB that Aphrodite was peddling around 1998/99 was ACE!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked mysteries of funk less that ringz of saturn, probably less than saturnz return too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mysteries of funk kicks booty, it's also co-produced by optical :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As far as both albums are concerned...I guess I would pick Grooveriders over Goldie's. Both albums seems to wear out real quick, but that may be my stubborness. (Is that a word?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That track with David Bowie on it. What a load of wank. Exhibit A. Ganja Kru's Supa Sharp Shooter was ace though - I'm getting quite misty-eyed and nostalgic here :'( |
||||||||
|

Am I the only one who adores the 60min MOTHER track?... BTW his recent book "NINE LIVES : GOLDIE" is a great read - going back to his Graf days thru the days of RAGE at Heaven, TERMINATOR to TIMELESS to SATURN RETURNZ.... Recommended....if you wanna understand the guy a little better... and yeah..he mixes most of his work on E .... perfect geezer he is... (shit, I sound like I'm in Love...:)... |
||||||||

|
Isn't that other disc two tracks - mother and saturn, somewhere around half an hour each? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's the wank i'm on about. My original of Drukqs is scratchd t'fuck. so mp3 copies of same now reside in Saturnz's snazzy case. The album itself now resides in my 'doesn't even merit a case' drawer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mother is around 60 mins...Disc 1 of SR...(followed by some crappy little track I think...).. InnerCityLife/Jah etc...is 21mins, I think... Rings of Saturn is like a remix album of SR - (with a 8min ver mother..VIP remix....)... I so wish some phucker hadn't borrowed my 2 CD ver of TIMELESS.... |
||||||||

A Guy Called Geralds "Black Secret Technology" is THE DnB/Jungle album... Forgotten classic...(2 versions iirc - Original & a remixed, with more BASS, later re-release...)... BUY IT/DL IT....you won't regret it.... Nobody does it better!!.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like "Mother" but I felt some of it was too stretched out and exhausting for me personally. I liked a lot of the phrases though like the whole phasey rain thing and that syncopated pizzicato buildup. My favorite Goldie would still be "Inner City Life". "Temper Temper" has this weird lilt to it that always strikes me, it's quite the precedessor of Punk/DnB crossovers that became more common since. I wonder when Goldie will release another artist album of original tracks? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh...That first 6 mins of noise at the begginning is either very brave, very stupid or somekind of test... And yeah, TT, is very cool....I've got a number of Goldie CD singles & I believe that has the video on it... Time to do some digging.... |

it's no wormhole :) |

|

| |||||||||
|
|
Wormhole, as in Ed Rush & Optical style? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Dragonfly is a lovely, lovely piece of work. I think this album tends to get slated unneccesarily... i mean it's a bit patchy, but not the mess that everyone made it out to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wormhole wasn't that good. In fact it was mostly shit. I can listen to a couple of tracks then I get bored and turn it off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i borrowed it from the library one time and wasn't feeling it. timeless is one of my favorite albums ever. i wish more dnb artists would make ALBUMS instead of fucking singles. |
