I agree totally with Irene. I think we both have the vinyl verions,
which missed a lot of the good stuff which can on 12" before it, but
still this LP is highly dissapointing and contained nothing of real
interest to me as a devout junglist. If you like your industrial gloomy
doomy drum and bass then it might be for you, but otherwise stay well
away. I really regret buying it.
Having said that, I agree with John that his Neotropic mix is a killer,
and I rate his track on the new Enforcers comp too. He's scheduled to
have a new LP coming on Reinforced this year. The Arcon 2 debut sounded
like really old material, so with luck the new stuff will be about 1000
times better. Either way I'll be listening before I buy this time.
Graham.
