Finally, after many years in the wilderness (making movie soundtracks and the odd remix, plus a house album) Rupert Parkes returns to what he does best. Truth be told, this is actually more of a compilation, but it flows nicely in the same way as the first 'Form & Function' did. And as with Vol 1 it's full of dark and nasty dancefloor-filling steppers, although it takes a small detour at the start: opener 'Industry Of Noise' is a rock crossover with Mr Parkes playing guitar and singing and 'Love & War' is a soulful female vocal d&b anthem. The third track picks up the intensity and features Robert Owens on vocals. Track 4 is Teebee's remix of the 1997 single 'Ni Ten Ichi Ryu' and from here on in it's all pretty dark and intense. The Hochi remix of 'Sidewinder' features an awesome slow-down-then-speed-back-up section and a bassline sinister enough to give small children nightmares, while 'One Nation' may feature the best Amens ever heard. 'Saturated Hip-Hop' is classic eastern-flavoured Photek. The Die & Clipz (mispelt on the back sleeve for some reason) remix of 'Thunder' is stunning and slightly reminiscent of recent Hospital Records releases. 'Full Spectrum Dominance' features the best use of speech samples I've heard in a long time. On the whole, I love this record as it encompasses what is best about old-school d&b with some bang-up-to-date flourishes and I think every d&b DJ should consider this an essential purchase.

Right! I have spent some time listening to this album & have to say that it is simply stunning! From the lush opening tune 'Love & war' it is clear that Photek is back with something special. 'Deadly technology' is my fav from the album with its razor sharp intro and the most tearing drop in years!!.
The two old tracks, 'One nation' and 'Saturated hip hop' give the album a very special identity and both are excellent tunes to the former's amen workout & the latter's stunning beat programming. 'Man down' featuring Teebee & Tech itch is very late 90's sounding with a pounding reece bassline over some nice breaks. A excellent tune.
Photek also is on the vocals for 'Industry of noise' which is a nice tune with a indie feel to it & great Photek drums.
The remixes are also spot on with the inclusion of in my oppinion the best remix of all time! the legendary 'ni ten ichi ryu' by Teebee. What a stunning job he did. The tech itch & dylan remix of 'Baltimore' is also excellent with the duo's trademark metallic breaks all present.
The only downer i feel is the 'Thunder' remix by die & clipse which just sounds weak compared to the rest of the album. 'Full sprectrum dominance' is a classic homage to Photek with clear references to his best work all included in one huge tune!
To conclude this review i must say i waited a long time for this album and it has not disappointed one bit. The production is stunning with nice vocal tunes followed with some heavy dark drum & bass. If you like Photek then this is a must and if you are serious about your drums then you must check this album. I will also be buying this on vinyl for 'Deadly technology' which is worth getting alone for!
