4.0 out of 5 starsnothing new, but so what, roni size is awesome
By resident_out_of_touch on April 22, 2005
Format: Audio CD
I agree with the detractors who say that this album is nothing new. I appreciate size's innovation and experimentation, I consider him to be the most important producer in dnb because he doesn't seem to get tied down by the semantics and nonsense that mire most purists in homogeneity and boredom. I would've loved another strange, experimental album following In the Mode, but i like roni size's music just as much as his innovation, and a solid 70 minutes of straight up top-quality DnB is nothing to complain about. Size is among the best producers of drum and bass regardless of how far from the norm he chooses to stray.

The cd is basically a dj set composed of all original tracks, and true to the nature of any dj set, besides a few standouts the tracks are mostly indistinct from one another. You have to listen to it as if it were a dj set, which is where it departs from traditional roni size territory. New Forms, like Goldie's Timeless, was primarily -not- a dancefloor record, and while In the Mode was more danceable it was presented in a pop album format. Touching Down however, sounds like it could've been recorded right off of a club PA system in Bristol. It's just straight beats, pure unadulterated drum and bass.

if you have musical ADD or are the sort of person that can't stand hearing something that was popular 6 months ago because its "so outdated" then skip this outdated and repetitive album and go buy Return to V since its out now. but if you actually enjoy dnb, then here is 70 minutes of some of the best dnb around

5.0 out of 5 starsThis...is off tha hook
By A Customer on November 14, 2002
Format: Audio CD
This is definitely a must own for any drum and bass fan. This is the first ALL ORIGINAL CD that Roni Size has released and it is definitely a change towards the positive. From beginning to end, Roni smashes through dancefloor hit and dancefloor hit without missing a beat along the way. Much respect should be given to Roni Size for his contributions to drum and bass in the past, and in the future. With all the new talent on the jungle market these days, some throw Roni into the monicker of an orginator, which he is most definitely that and so so much more. This mix will be sampled for many many years to come and it ranks in my collection as one of the best CDs that Full Cycle have put out in a long time. With respect to the jungle massive, this CD shows us that Roni may get older and drum and bass may change over the years gone by, but HE IS STILL A CRAFTSMAN at what he does and will be for a LONG LONG TIME.

5.0 out of 5 starsRoni Size Single-Minded; Excellent!
By AdV on December 30, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Touching Down is a groundbreaking album for Drum and Bass featuring a determined and ambitious Roni Size. He came out strong out live on early 2002 announcing a big year and he definitely matched his predictions. As soon as the first singles came out (Sound Advice, Playtime) they became drum and bass anthems moving crowds around the world, stretching the boundaries of sound at is maximum. And they kept coming: Scrambled Eggs, Feel the Heat, etc.
Unlike any previous Roni Size releases such as "In the Mode" and "New Forms," in this album, Size has no collaboration from other Reprasent or Full Cycle members such as Dynamite, Suv, Die or Krust. With almost no lyrics; this album features Roni Size solo, his virtues as a composer and producer. It presents Roni Size clean; his pure musical mind and his great artistic creativity.
Original and fresh, innovative, what more to say... Who but Size can include a harp in the composition of "electronic music" and get away with it brilliantly? This album mixes soft and harsh sounds, classic and new, and unexpected drum and bass elements. The result is a Roni Size's gift to Full Cycle records that will definitely make musical history and be talked about and played around the world. Once again Roni Size proves that Drum and Bass is here to stay and climbing to new heights.

5.0 out of 5 starsand there is a nice transition between songs
By Jay F on January 13, 2016

A classic collection of drum and bass beats, its a little different than his past records. This CD hs much bass!!! The rythims are smooth, and there is a nice transition between songs. Overall, a good effort by Roni Size.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe ultimate workout album
By Jason R. Conger on September 14, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Okay, I am a die hard Dieselboy fan and all the other drum and bass DJ's out there will pale in comparison for me. But Roni Size's Touching Down has a certain edge over all of Dieselboy's albums, and that is, this towers over anything you possibly ever heard if your goal is to shred calories on the treadmill or Gazelle. Touching Down is the single fastest CD I have ever heard and I can't possibly imagine an album going faster (if you can name something faster than this please let me know). The album has very repetitive beats but isn't that what you want when you are trying to burn calories and push yourself to your limits on the treadmill? For me, this album is good for either exercising or working but not much else. I can't really say this is as entertaining as Roni Size's New Forms or Dieselboy's Dungeonmaster's Guide and it is just way too fast to dance to. But for a guy like me the album is totally worth having for running on the treadmill alone. Another good exercise album is Aphrodite's Overdrive album, although that is not quite as fast as this one.

5.0 out of 5 starsFor True Believers only!
By Gregory Gross on March 14, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I am fairly new to drum and bass\jungle music. I know that if done badly it can really get on your nerves. Thank goodness for Roni Size, who once again shows us "how it's done". I was fascinated to hear if he had any idea's left and I wasn't dissappointed. So often in this genre(as with Goldie's recent drum and bass mix)you get one cut after another with very little to distingish one cut from the other. Not here, as Roni Size uses harps,voice samples, and whatever else his imagination can muster to bring the listener a musical journey that won't put you to sleep, or frustrate the listener with sheer technical wizzardtry with no real musical skills.
I caution the listener though, to understand that this is for the true believer, as some of my friends "just don't get it"! These are all intramental tracks, if your looking for vocals, look to the new Jazzanova.
