EAN: 0769712410629 Label: Ffrr Manufacturer: Ffrr Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Ffrr Release Date: January 01, 2000 Studio: Ffrr Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A virtual pioneer in the realm of breakbeat, Danny "LTJ" Bukem first came into prominence as a DJ at Speed, a London nightclub that catered to the celebrated drum & bass cognoscenti. With his influential Good Looking and Looking Good music labels now quite popular in the U.K., Bukem also has a solid reputation as a producer and record executive. This double disc is a compilation of several outstanding Bukem performances, along with a number of remixed tracks by his favorite drum & bass compatriots. Including classic cuts by progressive electronic artists like Photek, DJ Crystl, and Peshay, LTJ Bukem has compiled a cutting-edge collection of studio/hardware-based dance music which proudly display mid-nineties breakbeat innovations straight out of the United Kingdom. This one's highly recommended. --Mitch Myers Average Rating:
 Rating: - the defining moment of atmospheric / intelligent dnbTwo discs, one mixed and one unmixed. If you are a dnb / jungle fan, you probably already own this. If you've never heard dnb before, but are a fan of well-mixed music, ltj bukem works the decks like a zen master. If you are an aspiring dance dj, in any genre, listening to disc A will improve your craft.<br /> <br /> In some ways, this album is showing its age. Jungle, even atmospheric jungle, has gotten significantly faster and harder in the 12-14 years since most of these tracks ... Read More Rating:  - Neither good dnb nor ambientThis compilation is likable after listenieng to it a few times but it lacks both originality and excitement in my opinion. Almost all tracks follow the same pattern, the drums are rather uniform making it sound like d'n'b had nothing more to offer. If you like smooth repetitive grooves than it may be your thing but if you want to listen to some good d'n'b check the likes of Roni Size or Talving Singh instead. There are a few pieces that have some interesting loops and rhythms and a good ambiental feeling ...

If you're like me you'll find that after a few weeks of fairly regular listening it will mysteriously slip to the back of your CD collection, where it will probably collect dust for some time to come. It's more a novelty than anything else. Less music and more technical wizardry, Bukem is no doubt a talented man when he's on his machines, but his musical vision is so narrow that the album quickly bores the listener. Drum and bass isn't a very ... Read More Rating: - Great CDThis has one of the best intelligent drum&bass beats I have heard so far. Good to dance to as well as kickin back too also, so buy this cd! Rating: - LTJ Bukem is a musical genius.Whether you're a ragga soldier, dark tech stepper, or a jump up junkie....BUY THIS CD ! It doesn't matter what your current preference in drum'n'bass is because once you hear the smooth and enlightening chords along with the snappy breakbeats that only LTJ Bukem can fuse together in a most refreshing way, you will be hooked! The media has labeled LTJ BUKEM'S style as "ambient" or "intelligent" but regardless of what label or genre you catergorize his music as, one thing is for sure....LOGICAL PROGRESSION ... Read More |
