5.0 out of 5 stars A boy, his synth, and a whole lot of low end., October 28, 2002

This review is from: Back for the Future (Audio CD)

I like my d&b the same way I like my mud wrestling: dark, dirty, and tongue-in-cheek. This in mind, Dominic Angus and his Roland have not let me down yet. I bought "Back For the Future" mistakenly thinking it was an entire new album's worth of material in the vein of "Industry", his freshman full-length, but the 20 track mix CD that arrived in my mailbox instead was a pleasant surprise.

Only a handful of tracks were painstakingly programmed by Dom originally, but the ones that aren't, are either Dom featuring another d&b impressario (and presumably THEIR Roland), or a Dom & Roland remix. The disc starts out with light and tight steppy-type beats, building to a crescendo with Shanie's vocals on "Life", then "Iceberg" sinks some Titanic-sized deep bass, and by the time "Moulin Rouge" drops, the jungle has hit the fan - so dark you couldn't illuminate it with floodlights. It's a very intelligent progression, bobbing and weaving between tracks so quickly, that your ears never really get tired of a sample, or a loop - foibles a lot of d&b mix CDs fall prey to.

There's a couple different versions of this release floating around - one is the full mix CD listed here, and another is a 4x12" with selected tracks. If you're a DJ and plan on spreading Dom's garbage to the masses, get the latter (well worth it for the "Imagination" remix alone), whereas if you're simply a d&b gourmet like myself, get the CD for portability.

I'm not going to get into detail because I'm lazy. This album is the only album I've ever heard by a DJ, spinning only records that he produced, that I can even stand for more than 3 listens. Hell, one of the best albums I own, period. Dark fn sh!! DOM'S A PIMP!

i never really liked drum & bass that much untill i heard of dom & roland's dark, cinamatic sounds that drew me in like a plug hole, just listen to tracks like Imagination and u'll c what i mean, dark experimental breakbeat jungle/drum & bass at its finest classic stuff.
