DJ Dara's clean style of mixing is perfected on this CD. It's by far the best mix I've ever heard to this day. I've had this CD since it was first released, and it is STILL the best dnb CD i've ever heard.

Track #1 starts off slowly with a hint of ambience, but then comes in hard with a rolling bassline in track #2. The energy is constant throughout the entire CD, and the songs are all top notch. I personally searched for these songs in various record stores hoping to purchase them on vinyl but I was ultimately unsuccessful. You can't find these tracks anywhere else but on this CD! .... My personal favorite song on this CD (as well as my favorite overall) is track #4, Terradaktil by Pascal and Phantasy. This is a beatiful hard-hitting jump-up/tech stepper that has my heart and head pounding whenever i listen to it. Listen to the song sample provided by Amazon.com and I guarantee that you'll like it.

I would recommend this CD to everyone, whether you are new to drum & bass or a veteran of the scene. It is a deffinately a must for any jungle collection (or any kind of electronica collection for that matter). They just don't produce CD's like this anymore.

Well, I'll say I bought this back in 98', a time when I was just geting into jungle and it was my first real techstep d&b disk I ever owned. I'd still say that it's one of the best store bought cd's you can get. All thogh it got overplayed at raves a lot Funktion was a great track, Terradaktil has some great bass to it, Symphonic by SS was probably my favorite, Bull Terrior, Bring the Danger, everything was good and more than half on this cd were classics of the time. It's a great and well rounded mix that does what very FEW mix cd's or evem mix tapes do - expressed a complete thought and kept a very progressive change of feel to where no record seemed to just land out of nowhere. I'd recomend this to anyone who's hooked on the 98' sound and especially anyone who has a good box of subs in the back of their ride, MA4 - Bull Terrior hits like you wouldn't believe.

I've had this cd for a while now, and it's always on heavy-rotation in my car. Starts off with a really smooth track, and finished with an even doper jump up d'n'b track. EXCELLENT!! I recently went to the "Vanity" in NyC, where Dara mixed and he was phenomenol!! Mad respect to Dara, and the whole Breakbeat Science, NYC heads. Peace.

This album is one of the best D.J. Dara has put out to date. It starts with some pretty straight forward jungle tracks, but about half way through Dara's genius takes over. The way he drives this mix forward is awe inspiring. This is the way jungle was ment to be heard.

I'm not too wild about the 1st two tracks, but that's me. From track three on, however, you're captivated. Whenever I see a CD with Dara mixing, I know it's going to be good.

This is one of my very favorite old Drum n' Bass CD's. I was super happy to find a cheap used copy. Recieved in expected time and condition. :)

Not much to say, if you like old school drum and bass and/or DJ Dara, this is a keeper.

If you look at my cd collection, you will find a spectrum of assortments, ranging from Amorphous Androgynous to Paganini. I like special talents and Dara is a special talent. This CD is probably his best besides Renegade Continuum II. Unfortunately the last one I heard of his was Further (which was also very good), so I am not up to date with what he's doing now. Hope he's still as good.

The mix between pure drum and bass and jungle along with great mc'ing at the right times and some good vocals. Great album.

Dj Dara steps over the normal boundaries of drum n' bass to produce one of the most spectacular albums to date..he rules the NY dj scene and will continue untill he quits spinning!
