5.0 out of 5 stars Klute covers the whole spectrum, June 26, 2005

I've seen (heard--whatever) Klute spin a few times, and he is unbelievable. Mostly dark , hard stuff (which is my taste--see his Breakbeat Science Exercise mix CD). This orginally produced music by him brings out some different tastes I didn't realize he had in him. I'm not going to get into his "collage of genres" cd (#2) [revision--I actually wrote this review before I had given disc #2 a full listen. There is some really good sh** here--especially for you breaks/ party dj's--that would probably never think to look in a D&B's producers direction for such trax--check "Artificial Sense" and "Overchoice"], but cd #1 has a lot of flavours on it. I'm not a big 2 step fan, but "Part of Me" is completely addicting. "Problem Reaction" and "Tacky"--("Ether" falls somewhere in between 2 step & jungle)-- are typical Klute standouts, and only he and High Conrast could even get me in the 2 stepping groove (if you can call it that). According to silly people who don't have a clue about music, D&B is fading as a genre. But w/ more producers like Klute (and High Contrast) around, it will be here to stay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply A Masterpiece, April 21, 2004

This review is from: Lie Cheat & Steal (Audio CD)

I'm not feeling the second house/downtempo CD, but as a fan of D&B, I can honestly say that the CD1 is one of the greatest albums I've listened to. This realization took a few listens to arrive, but it arrived none the less. Klute proves that not only is he an incredible producer, but also that D&B can become just as deep/complex/beautiful as any other sound the human ear can detect.
I say without a doubt purchase this CD if you are a fan of D&B, and esspecially if you are not. It's filled me with joy, energy, and above all else- inspiration. Just incredible.

Fav tracks: ALL (I mean that)

This review is from: Lie Cheat & Steal (Audio CD)

I'm just reviewing the first cd, Lie Cheat & Steal, since I mainly listen to drum 'n' bass. Lie Cheat & Steal contains some of the best drum 'n' bass tracks I have ever heard. This album is full of aggressive snares, deep & melodic basslines, and uplifing synth melodies. I usually listen to atmospheric dnb, especially stuff from Good Looking, but the agressive beats and deep basslines on this album are a welcome change from most of the stuff on Good Looking. What I love most about Klute's music is the deep, high pitched (relatively speaking), melodic basslines that he uses for most of his tracks. If you are into atmospheric dnb, but you are looking for drums and bass with a harder (but still melodic) edge to them, then grab this album.
