Clang!,
By
This review is from: Busy Curious Thirsty (Audio CD)
Busy, Curious Thirsty is a harsher, more abrasive followup to 68 Million Shades. That album is still highly accessible and maintains some of the best examples of a cool, smooth drum 'n' bass that I keep returning to. Busy, on the other hand, sometimes falls into traps that make it shorter on replay value. For one, the sheer repetition of clangy beats on some tracks just gets tired, especially when there's very little around the beats to make it interesting for more than a couple of minutes. The album is heavier and more industrial than anything the duo had done before. More melody than a Photek, but still gritty. At times it comes off as eerie, particularly Bells. Some tracks have taken a long time to grow on me, however, others lack the structure that made 68 Million Shades such a great accomplishment. But don't blame Spring Heel Jack. They have done so much with d 'n' b that by the time someone like Madonna decided to incorporate "electronica" into her albums it was already a section at Tower Records. They've been busy, following up with two more studio offerings, an oddities disc, the Masses and Amassed projects, and a live album worth of material that makes 68 Million and certainly its predecessor, There Are Strings, seem like ages ago. Definitely worth checking out the evolution of this duo.

symphonic d&b that pushes the edge,
By "oldschoolgamer" (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Busy Curious Thirsty (Audio CD)
if you're into jump-up or hard step or if you love V records, etc, you probably won't like this. or you just might. following the dreamy environments of 68 Million Shades, SPJ goes deeper into structure and tone. these are some of the first 5-10 minute long d&b tracks that will keep you interested from 0:01 on. while some d&b records share ties to dub, hip-hop,and funk, the closest thing I can think of with B,C,T is Stravinsky and Shostakovich. For REAL... Re-occuring themes, multiple layers, and beats like a drill through your heart make this one of my favorite d&b albums of all time

jungle to sew by.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Busy Curious Thirsty (Audio CD)
I actually enjoy this album more every time I hear it. I'm a dj, and it's refreshing to get some jungle that isn't full of of the typical dry digital tweakings.....it's almost lo-fi in comparison. I find this part of it very appealing. It's production is more straight forward and doesn't rely on a warp speed sampler to make up for any lack of creativity. While the beats can be a little light for this same reason, I'd recommend it...definitely in a class of it's own. Maybe domestic jungle?
