Synopsis

Amazon.com
Roni Size didn't take jungle global the way he was supposed to (once again, club culture's unstoppable march halted at the U.S. border), but he certainly gave the under-sung Bristol scene a major boost. Though there are other branches of that scene--the Versatility and Technical Itch camps--most of it has coalesced around the related V Record and Full Cycle labels. V Classic is the first V compilation, and if it isn't as heady as Full Cycle's Music Box collection, it is still an announcement of a major alternative to London's dominance. Size kicks off with the much-played "It's Jazzy" (which, along with "It's a Jazz Thing," would lead many observers to assume he's a jazzhead, when in fact he's more a James Brown fan), followed by Goldie showing some respect by eerily remixing Size's "The Calling." The highlight, though, is DJ Krust's "Maintain," one of the few recent jungle tracks to put a female vocal front and center. Krust has been threatening to drop a monstrous debut album since 1997, and until it actually happens, all most of us have to go on are the dribs and drabs of brilliance doled out on 12-inch singles and the occasional compilation such as this. --Jeff Salamon

"I love this cd! It is in my car disc changer right now! I was also lucky enought to hear this music live the night of. That's Right! I went to this Rave out in Los Angles at the Sports Arena the night of the New Year 1999! The party was Da Bomb with Bomb music. With AK1200 and others how can you pass this one up?"
No way

"I'm sorry. I guess I'm the only one who hates this extremely boring, and very repetitive style of D'n'B. The artists spoon feed you the same pattern all the way through while cheesy sounds float around all over the place. All the songs on this cd make me dizzingly ill. The Ideas exist but they bore the heck out of you with the same thing over & over & over again, how uninteresting. And you people call that art? The music in itself all sounds very cheap. Please dont get me wrong cuz I love DB, but this stuff is just ridiculous. Altogether, It's just a darn shame drum and bass has to sound like this when we all know it has SO much potential. Now, if you like D'n'B thats simply fun and yet artistic, get DJ DB's shades of technology. I listen to any music with some degree of artistic intelligence and that cd barely slides by alright. That should get your groove on and at the same time help you look at the many perspectives of D'n'B."
