I'd quite like to chime in here with a good word for London Elektricity - I think he has a very different vibe from the rest of current dnb, and his music has that enveloping beats-and-bass sound that all good 'nuum stuff has. The Power Ballads album my favourite.

Ugh, these names are grotesque! Surely the music can't be any good if it gets given names like that.

Thought I'd sign up to add somthing..... Hello all.


About the jungle with a 2-step feel. I quite like this release in this way, it's 2000 and tech, but it's interesting: http://www.discogs.com/release/9540
I think the Speedlincs label had a ukg link anyway(?) Might be a bit obscure though.

I don't think there are any good jungle LPs are there? Wasn't it beside the point?

I do know that aged 15 in Swansea I managed to track down this and this, and they remain two of my most treasured possessions, both for the music and the nostalgia value. And, blimey, they're 4 four grubby, scratched slabs of vinyl now. I couldn't sell them even if I wanted to.

Like reggae/dancehall, long playing jungle is defined by the compilations sure, but that doesn't mean that there weren't a few good artist albums. Some of the albums on that list were my introductions to the genre, and most of them still stand up IMO.

and since we going down nostalgia lane... oh god... the first jungle tune i ever heard was that remix of the "Love Story" melody... to be sure it was the most intense thing the 14 year old me'd ever heard.

Well if you are mentioning Panacea's LP then I'm mentioning Christoph De Babalon's 'If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It' LP.
A masterpiece, but possibly stretching the thread's subject. This LP did more for me than most to be honest. There's ambient and either end of the bpm spectrum, but it's all a jungle thing to me -unlike the rest of dhr.

oh absofuckinglutely. i loved that one too back in the day. especially this one industrial-hiphop track... SO ILL. and that fucked up DHR production, often just lazy, but worked so well on this one. i remember playing it at this advertising party and clearing the floor back in 2000...

The gap between his work and everything else on dhr is big. Even in the fucked up production department cdb was on some other road -and yeah, def a lazy thing.

In fact, I don't think I own a single non-cdb dhr record......

Have you heard that split 12" he did on his label Cross Fade Enter Tainment? IMMENSE.

'Black' by DJSS...

I remember when Panacea made the shift from noisecore/power electronics. The day he was accepted as a D+B artist was the day I realised all hope was lost for the genre...

you mean after the Low Profile period when he started doing puke-worthy diva-vocal anthems?
