Format:Audio CD|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Artists generally hate having their work buttonholed into media invented genres. Portishead hated the term "trip-hop" for the ground-breaking debut Dummy. So hear comes Benga, music press appointed flag -bearer for what is being referred to as "Dub-step." Call it what you like - it's brilliant.
The beats sound as clear as a whistle - structured and methodical, German sounding in precision and execution. But there is variety - like the soft intro on B4 the duel. Devastating rapier-like drums and crunchy base come in behind. It all adds up to a very interesting listen. Yes it's urban - tracks like Night and 26 basslines were made for the dance floor, but this record isn't at all cavalier. It wanders off in places you never expected to go - Someone 20 drifts you off into space, down a tunnel, marrying you into a celestial sound-scape. The effects across the record are so clever and original - is that a hand-clap on Crunked UP? Another favourite of mine is the neurotic, skipping beat of Emotions.
Should bring "Dub Step" out of the underground and to the masses.

By A. Miles VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Like many people of my age, I've always tended to associate this style of music with the sound that you hear from the open window of a badly customised Peugot 206 being driven by some slack-jawed yokel in a baseball cap round a suburban town centre: It wasn't until the Burial album of last year that I started to take a deeper interest in it.

Whilst my dancing days are long past, I can appreciate a good album when I hear one. 'Diary' immaculately crafted and executed, with precision dancebeats textured with squelchy early 90s rave synth, spoken word and brass samples. It sounds especially good in a car at night. It doesn't have the crossover appeal of the Burial album - lacking that album's air of early morning melancholy that made it appeal to elderly punters like myself - but any real music lover will find this a rewarding listen.

It's good!
I came to this album with little interest, or exposure to Dubstep, although I knew the sound. This sounds a bit more raw than what I was expecting - as some have pointed out, good... Read more

Did not give it a chance
I am sorry to say that I only managed to listen to this album twice before I deleted from my iPod. I was expecting something memorable but every track left me cold. Read more

Not going to ring down the years as a classic, but fine enough for now
Being in my 40s I am probably not best equipped to review this album, but here goes anyway. I thought it provided nice background listening but didn't bear any close scrutiny. Read more

Very well produced but no melody... not my cup of tea.
Disclaimer: Let me say first that this is my first record on this type of music, and probably one of the very few in the future. Read more

Different...but not astounding
At first I really enjoyed this CD. It was catchy and heavy and got me moving. But after about four tracks...well....repetitive comes to mind. Read more

Nice packaging...
The packaging draws you in, a nice black cd and black case which provide promise. However, the music should really be in a DJ's pocket as this is not for playing at home. Read more
