Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Although one of the longest serving crews in Bristol, responsible for production duties on early Massive Attack material and a heavy influence on Talkin' Loud hero Roni Size, Rob Smith and Ray Mighty have also been the unluckiest--their career littered with bad deals and what feels like a thousand near misses. This compilation is nothing if not testament to their originality, with over half of the contents their own material under either their original or More Rockers guise with Peter D Rose. The perfectly mixed album comes in two distinct sections, the first of which focuses on dub inspired material including early covers of "Anyone (Who Had A Heart)" and "Walk On" while the second is dominated primarily by drum and bass with "Rainbow" the highlight of this section, Virginia's vocal close to being overpowered by vast synths. With well over 20 tracks of speaker rocking percussion, room warming bass and sketched melodics there is something for everyone in this instalment of DJ Kicks, the crowning moment coming from Tammy Payne's vocals on "Same".--Kingsley Marshall

4.0 out of 5 stars A WELL ENGINEERED 70 MINUTE SOUND OF BRISTOL, 9 Feb 2001
By A Customer
its pretty good, especially the rare smith and mighty tracks but some of the drum and bass stuff goes too far, especially a couple of the more rockers tunes but it does begin to grow on you. However if you want the best of Smith & Mighty go for Bass is Maternal. Its one of the best albums of the 90's

4.0 out of 5 stars Stop Me And Buy One, 8 Nov 2000
By Mr. O. Hughes - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard Smith & Mighty through Big World Small World (and I suggest you start there). This is pretty much a "best of" of Smith & Mighty's own stuff and Bristol Drum and Bass. The album kicks off with some lush dub and the covers of Walk On By and Anyone Who Had A Heart. These tracks are apparently very hard to find. Which makes the compilation worth the asking price for these tracks alone. Maybe. If you're still not convinced, there is a bunch of great soulful Drum and Bass from "More Rockers" (another incarnation) and the likes of Flynn and Flora. Obviously, being a best of, this does seem to lack the coherence of a "proper" album in places. And you have to be prepared to like Drum and Bass. If you already own Big World Small World, buy this.
