Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Good or bad? Your choice, really... . Being an avid enthusiast of the drum n' bass "scene," as pretentious as it occasionally sometimes is, in listening to this Cd I feel this is not a strong representation of the genre. This could very well be personal, (so you headz chill) but this type of jazzy, tech-step like, a cappella jam seems occasionally cheesy and filled with..well..."filler." I realize that during 1998 this was where it was at for Grooverider. He was hardly setting off bombs in the d n b fabric with other producers overshadowing his less-than-fresh efforts. This album has a few choice cuts, and his production skills are commendable, but combining so-called jazz harmonies with this type of genre is definately an abuse of power. The loungy progressions are worn thick, and lacking any true creativity deep down. This album comes nowhere near stuff on the "Prototype Years" ep which was showcasing the fine talents of heavy hitters Dillinja, Ed Rush, Fierce, Lemon D, Optical, and Boymerang, to name a few. It goes without saying that Grooverider has been one of the most respected and talented DJ's, probably getting all of these afforementioned producers their starts. A big name gets alot of support and can get away unscathed by negativity due to that stardom. No one would dare defy that Grooverider's attempt at making d n b is off key, but let's not give in to someone's production skills because they are graciously empowered in the scene like a king. Purveyor's of fine drum n' bass can find sanctuary elsewhere. Stick with your records for the best
