Free Music Notes for Breakbeat Science
Free Music Review: Solid offering of late 90's Drum and Bass
Hit: 4 Stars
I've been a drum and bass fan since the early 90's. This compilation entitled Breakbeat Science offers up a plethora of the most prominent DnB artists from the mid to late 90's. The packaging is a nice but simple cardboard fold out with sleeves. The bulk of the packaging consists of a thick and informative book detailing out information on each of the album artists. Here are my thoughts and track ratings on this 2CD DnB set;
CD1
01 4 Hero - Universal Love (Goldie Mix) 7/10 (Standard Goldie remix)
02 Omni Trio - Red Rain 7/10 (Nice Omni Trio track)
03 Spring Heel Jack - Galapagos II (In Special Isolation) 7/10
04 Tamsin* - Innocence 7/10 (Nice and mellow)
05 Solo* - Dominion 5/10 (Repetitive samples bring this track down)
06 DJ Pulse - Planet Funk 7/10 (Jazzy and relaxing DnB)
07 E-Z Rollers - Spin Out 7/10 (Nice, jazzy and relaxing)
08 L Double & Younghead - New Style 7/10
09 Roni Size & DJ Krust* - Formulate 7/10
10 Hidden Agenda - Vindication 7/10
11 Aquasky - Sea Monkey 7/10
CD2
01 DJ Trace & Nico* - Area 51 8/10 (Classic track)
02 Boymerang - Blue Notes 10/10 (Amazing and dark bass track)
03 Plug - Dark Matter 6/10
04 Soul Slinger* - The Singer 5/10 (Just an odd track overall)
05 Phume - Movin' On 7/10
06 Skycutter - Independence Day 8/10
07 A Guy Called Gerald - Fabio 7/10
08 Witchman - Burnin' Headz 7/10
09 Ed Rush - Comatone 10/10 (Dark and heavy, classic Ed Rush)
10 DJ Sappo - War Declared 7/10
If you're a drum and bass fan this is a very decent compilation to pick up. CD1 was pretty much standard but good run of the mill DnB. CD2 offered a few more tracks to my liking. Stand out tracks for me were Boymerang's "Blue Notes," Ed Rushes "Comatone" and DJ Trace and Nico's "Area 51." The only track that I didn't enjoy was Soul Slinger's "The Singer." If you're looking for a satisfying collection of late 90's drum and bass then this 2CD should be to your liking.
