what are the best jungle/D&B comps to get in dissensus' esteemed view?

i have quite a few already, most of which i cant find or are at my parents place (even harder to find) so need to re-purchase some i think.

i have jungle mania 1 and 2, remarcs lost dubs and sound murdererer and the soundmurder mix on wired for sound from a few years back which is fucking killer, but was hoping to get stuff that a bit like some of the metalheadz tracks (ark angel, t3) ive been listening to lately. but really i was just hoping to get stuff that had as many of the best jungle singles/12s rather than say, the first (or second!) goldie album. i did get one or two of the metalheadz comps a while back but dont remember thinking too much of them.

from this, can anyone describe what DJ Krust Asian Love Dance (Remix) sounds like?
It's nice - breathy pads + clattering breaks and it goes a bit dark and ominous towards the end. Not very 'asian' though if that's what you wondering. That's a great comp.

Mark Ryder's Strictly Hardcore label put out a lot of comps of varying quality. Something like Illegal Pirate Radio III has a bunch of classic tunes and runs the gamut from jungle to happy hardcore.

It just goes on and on... was a big fan of this comp if only for the Chaos & Julia track which had some next level shit in it for real:

The first Promised Land comp was pretty amazing, lots of deep Lucky Spin style vibes before it became too smoothed out and jazzy (see Fabio's Promised Land 2)

...more of the former to be found here, though from memory this had a shitty pressing:

do you know how many random people i bothered about that song before i actually found it? i let go of that vinyl since, but just recalling that tracks gets me all emo. i doubt you can find that one on the internets =)
drum'n'bass has been so thoroughly archived i can all but guarantee it will be available somewhere. find the right newsgroup or user on soulseek and you're sorted.
 
this really is the type of thread that i want to include a lot of rapidshare links. i've got nothing further to add, really, some of those CDs look too heavy.

Dunno if it's been mentioned but the <a href="http://mp3skyline.com/rid-0x39d49-d...s=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a">AWOL compilation</a> with Dr S Gachet 'The Dreamer' was an underrated classic IMO... and I can't remember what the early Tru Playaz comp with Rude Bwoy Monty's ludicrous but brilliant take on the Rocky theme was called but that's a brilliant selection of early jump-up...

And of course the recent Planet Mu Remarc compilations are absolutely essential :):):)
