I've not really listened to a lot of what the drum n' bass scene has produced, but I was watching MTV and saw Shy FX. These guys seem to be quite well respected in the scene, but their music stinks. 'Shake your body' was drum n' bass by numbers with a crappy female vocal, and their new one is a carbon copy of it, only with more horns thrown in. Seriously, I hope drum n' bass has better to offer than this. I don't see why these guys aren't a laughing stock. |

Shy FX used to have style back in '94 when he was making Jungle, what you heard was pop dude. You need to dig a little. |
||||||||
|

I wouldn't rely too much on MTV for quality music... |

Music Television is killing music. It's all corp crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is true. I was not aware of Shy FX's old stuff. Now he/they seem to be all over TOTP and the charts. |
||||||||

Made me shudder. I want original nutter not sex in the city gank. I'm sure someone can recommend some drum n bass to try on but I'm not the best to ask by far. |

Shy FX & T Power - Run Along is on this HMV CD i just got and I don't like the song |

Photek - Modus Operandi is pretty much the high water mark of DnB. I've heard that Solaris sucks though... |

Wow, Yr avatar. Thats the most life-like picture of Brittany Spears I've ever seen. |
||||||||

Pop is killing drum n bass. (AHEM! PURETONE! cough) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any good? I understand it's very clubby with diva vocals and stuff, not at all like his other stuff. |

Prresley, you have to hit refresh. Otherwise your browser shows whatever's in the cache. Of course it's always possible that you have a disorder that causes you to see defecating birds everywhere. |

lol maybe i do, i hope not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I like a few tracks on it. Yeah it's clubby, like he just done a bit of a pop album. One track starts with a voice looping yeah gently and turns into some great drum n bass but nothing spectacular. The album seems to stay on one level all the way thru. I can't compare it to his other stuff tho. |
||||||||
|

Defecating. This seems to pop up a lot. |

I'm no big fan of vocal d&b myself but shake yer body wasn't that bad! A lot of it is in the lower frequencies so won't sound too hot through yer TV. He has done a wicked new tune with T Power and Rodney P called "Ruff Like Me" or something under the London Republic label which is very good. Vinyl only though I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I thought Shake Yer Body was wicked. So what if its pop? the new one's cool too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm gonna post a link to my d&b set when I finally sort it out. I did one on sunday but the frickin minidisk cut out at 35mins so half of it didn't record! Bah crap technology! |

I was quite enjoying it the first time I heard it on the radio, but I got sick of it after about the second listen. Way too simple, nothing to keep me interested for any period of time. The new one has some guy called MC Skibadee (sp?) scatting all over it. And more bland female vocals. |

Riddle: Q: What do you call 100 Drum and Bass MCs at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you'd probably prefer the harder stuff like Ram Trilogy, Bad Company (BC Recordings) etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A good d&b MC can really lift the set and get the crowd hyped... however these are very few and far between, usually they just get wrecked and ruin it. It winds me up. |

i like DARK drumnbass dilinja / grooverider / dieselboy anything with a base line thatll fuck your world up and make you scared... WORD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
deibc are really damn good too (originally bad company) eeaze dawn selecta (vocals in dnb should be stopped - and dnb mc's should be killed) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
modus operandi,new forms and timeless are three-must-have-drum'n'bass records |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No they're not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Imo, drum & bass went to crap after 1996. 1995&1996 drum&bass was amazing and then its like the whole style changed and started going in reverse it got simpler, in a bad way. Some good d&b: Subtropic- absolute black. Moving shadow compilation Trans central connection-carlito&addiction, neil trix, etc. Artcore 1 compilation. Metalheadz platinumbreaks 1,2. adam f- colours. |

I like the dark side of Drum n Bass. yeah not very intelelctual, but sometimes can be fun. My favorite artists are UFO!, Usual Suspects, Cause and concern, RAM trilogy...umh practically the stuff that dieselboy spins =P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basic hardstep is flooding the dancefloors here in france and that's a pity because the few good d'n'bass producers like radiobomb, interlope, subtiles record artists, etc... are totally ingored by the kids. Like spikee dragon I prefer oldschool jungle of shy fx & co, back in mid-nineties. Pomme de terre : your joke make me laugh a lot ;) I often go off when a mc's coming upon the mic on a d'n'b mix... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Well, as far as the conventional dnb goes, I like the old stuff Photek produced. Modus Operandi is a must IMO, very futuristic sounding. And if your interested in live dnb check out FCS North. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, I forgot an album that is definitely worth checking out, Plug - Drum 'n' Bass For Papa Club oriented dnb is on the decline; experimental is where it's at. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah Solaris was a phenomenal letdown. It created a nice vibe, sorta.. Aside from a couple of strong tracks, (i.e. Terminus, all the ambient stuff.. ) it was quite weak though. The male diva vocals ruined it, sorry.. I hate to make it so harsh but seriously. Even the house tracks would've been fine if it wasn't for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A few DnB albums that I like: "The Harder They Come (mixed by Grooverider)" "Armageddon 1 and 2" I personally think #3 sux. "Mysteryes of Funk" track #5 rules -Jack the Ripper. "The Accidental Heroes - The stars of our destination" "Brown Paper Bag - by Roni Size" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Plug - Drum n bass for papa is awesome... Now wasn`t plug a pseudo of luke vibert? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, Vibert is Plug. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your right, Solaris would of been pretty good if it wasn't for the vocals! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha yeah, we agree on alot don't we? first Laughing Quarter... :) |
||||||||
|
|

I like the older stuff with the really hard, fast snares a la Bukem, Valley of the Shadows etc. Later on it got a bit boom-tsh boom-tsh and boring. |
||||||||
|

I just got Drum n Bass classixxx by Bogdan Raczynski last night. It's pretty fucking cool. }:> |

Dom & Roland - he's creating 'my' definition of drum&bass. I'm also a big fan of Keltech (underground non-commercial d&b). |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Andy C, Bad Company, Mampi Swift, Adam F, Groovrider and Skibadee........pretty strong line up.....am preparing myself for some filth this weekend :o) ....got Dillinja's valve amps to look forward to the weekend after...can't contain myself! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Moving shadow....im sad to say that now equates to the forefront of pop drum and base... I must admit i like Guy Fawks track on the new album but one good track on an album isnt enough! |
