5.0 out of 5 stars Another classic gem!, February 2, 2000

When I bought this CD, I automatically knew that Dieselboy would come through with his precise beat matching and good taste in the selections. I constantly hear people trying to put down Dieselboy-saying this and that about his techniques on the decks but I'm sure in due time that everyone will realize that he's one of the best drum'n'bass DJ's this side of the Atlantic! I would also recommend everyone to add his first release "Drum'n'Bass Selection USA" and "Soldier's Story" to their collection of dnb CD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars dark and phat as hell, October 17, 2000

I've been an avid fan of drum and bass for about 2 years now. I've accumulated about all the good drum and bass cd's in the past past couple of years and Deiselboy is definitely my favorite. No one compares to his dark, hard track selection and his mastery of execution on the decks. After wearing my Soldier's Story and System Upgrade cd's out, I realized waiting for another one could take too long, and so I decided to back track and buy 97 Octane. The cd is absolutely tight with Deiselboy running the gambit on the darkest drum and bass of the time. Get ready as the cd begins with a count down to blast off as Deiselboy submerges you into the depths of his twisted bass lines and fast tech-step. The first half of the cd gets spirits lifted high with uppy drum and bass and the latter half lays waste to all but the most enduring dancers with deep snakey bass and highs off some other planet. Certain tracks on the last half of the cd reminds me of AK 1200's Fully Automatic if you're familiar with the sound AK pushes on that particular album. Keep in mind, it's a tad on the old school side, but as the title indicates, this is from '97. Any drum and bass lover definitely gets my recommendation on buying this album. A must buy for anyone who digs it dark and loud.

phat cd, done well. It's slow lift off countdown obtains your attention as dieselboy attacks you with no remorse with is killer beats in this CD. every song shows dieselboys exceptional talent, no other drum n' bass DJ puts down beats as well as this guy. All dieselboy's stuff is worth checking out, especially this one so get this ONE FOR SURE. if are you a junglistic man or woman, PROPS.
