Sweet Jesus!

"
As previous reviewers stated, this is one of the best produced CDs I have ever heard. The bass H-I-T-S, and sounds fantastic!! All the levels are correct, so theres no distortion at loud volumes and all aspects of this disc shine. I have a good system in my car, and seriously cannot get enough of this CD. But, enough about the technical merits of this album, the music is fantastic as well. This is one of 2-3 CDs that I have ever listened to where every track is consistently good. I am definitely looking forward to hearing more from these guys in the future."
Very pleased

"this album has a very nice assortment of newschool drum and bass on it...from the darker more hard hitting stuff, to more techno inspired tracks, to some stuff on the melodic side. the tracks all have pretty decent bpms, so it certainly won't put you to sleep. The mix on disc two is pretty sweet as well. it has a good flow, and the build up from start to finish is great. I'd highly recommend this to any dnb fan."

"this two cd set is killer drum 'n' bass at it's very best. the second cd in particular is an arsenal of massive hard techstep tracks from the past year mixed to perfection. if you have a quality sound system this album will hit you like a freight train. if you don't, you'll wish you did.fantastic stuff"
Insanely Outstanding!

"If you like drum n' bass, BSE will make you LOVE it! Their style is completely unique to them. They are hard, fast, and serious. Quite possibly the most aggresive drum n' bass that I've ever heard.
Styles in drum n' bass change over time, but it looks as if BSE evolved into something amazing while drum n' bass was a dying art. Most drum n' bass artists got sloppy, too repetitive, and sadly, mellowed out, but BSE made their sounds serious!
I just got their second album Endagered Species (review on page) but this is where it all started and listening back, it's awesome. I've had this CD since it came out and BSE is THE best drum n' bass artist ever. EVER!"
Black sun empire just rocks

"another superb mix, everything has great breakdowns, it all flows together to create just a great sound, good hard music, that still has a lot of groove to it, very well done..."
