Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Compiled just as earthy, reggae-tinged jungle was starting to give way to the more cerebral drum and bass movement, this is the sound of an innovative record label--drum and bass star LTJ Bukem's Good Looking--at its peak. The approach to the music is austere and sometimes more than a little scientific, but at their best the results are anything but sterile. Standout tracks include a pair of blinders from PFM: "Western", which has the air of a spoken-word gospel song, and "One And Only", a masterpiece of yearning. Peshay's devotional "Vocal" is mesmeric, and of Bukem's own contributions, "Demons Theme", conjures up the atmosphere of a virtual reality rainforest. Very fine stuff indeed. --David Bennun
From Amazon.com
A virtual pioneer in the realm of breakbeat, Danny "LTJ" Bukem first came into prominence as a DJ at Speed, a London nightclub that catered to the celebrated drum & bass cognoscenti. With his influential Good Looking and Looking Good music labels now quite popular in the U.K., Bukem also has a solid reputation as a producer and record executive. This double disc is a compilation of several outstanding Bukem performances, along with a number of remixed tracks by his favorite drum & bass compatriots. Including classic cuts by progressive electronic artists like Photek, DJ Crystl, and Peshay, LTJ Bukem has compiled a cutting-edge collection of studio/hardware-based dance music which proudly display mid-nineties breakbeat innovations straight out of the United Kingdom. This one's highly recommended. --Mitch Myers

This album is my favorite drum'n'bass album of all time. For me, and for any true fan of this genre, this album will never be samey, and never dull. The atmospheric tunes, coupled with clever use of samples, breathtaking basslines, and perfectly constructed beats make this record a must for any serious collector. More chilled than many drum'n'bass artists such as Grooverider, and more interesting and diverse than the ubiquitous Roni Size, this is dreamy, trippy, sophisticated, and yet seriously funky and danceable too. All in all, this album really summarises everything that is brilliant about drum'n'bass. If you like chilled, intelligent drum'n'bass, you probably already own this album, if not, then you really should.

The first time I ever heard this album ( thanks Jethro !! ) it completely blew me away. I went and bought it immediately ( 10 years ago ) and it set me off on a fantastic musical journey discovering the whole genre of Drum and Bass. I still come back to it again and again and marvel at its quality and diversity ... ranging from tight sophisticated breakbeat mixes to wonderfully uplifting soulful moments ... One and Only is just a complete classic ... guess D+B is not everyones cup of tea but this album will always live on for me .. just fantastic

What can I say. I don't really like drum and bass that much, but I've had this since 1996 and it sounds as fresh today as it did then. I have friends who aren't into DnB but love this album. why?
Simply because it is a work of Art. The tracks on this album are amazing, such wonderful creativity, you simply have to get this 1996 edition. I've been into dance music since 1989 and of all the music I've heard, this album is in the top ten. Timeless.

D'n'B's seminal moment
For me, this is the best drum and bass album ever made, and by a long way. Other Bukem albums are great, in particular 'Journey Inwards' is another favourite of mine. Read more

Thinking man's drum and bass
LTJ Bukem and his label Good Looking was the pioneer of "Thinking man's drum and bass." These days the label and Bukem have long since run out of ideas. Read more

Brilliant!
Has to be the best drum and bass of all time. It ranges from lyrical and mellow to hardcore beats, relaxing to manic. Read more

The good thing about this album is that you can either mellow-out to it or have a good dance. Although the whole album is a bit "samey", if, like me, you like this type... Read more
