Damn right!

I hate that crap, trance, happy hardcore and all that..euurgh!

I hate all that too,but the original hardcore sound (90-92/93ish) was very good,before it got all speeded up and full of chipmunk style vocals.

When that happened the darker sound was coming in and then the jungle after that,thats what i veered to instead instead of the Happy happy stuff.

I see what ur sayin...but they from a different period...things like newforms shaped DnB into what it is today!!

More of dark yet chilled (tripping) vibe if you ask me!!

OMG!


Mate ...this is one of the most seminal and important pieces of dnb history.. yeah the album was very musical. very accessable, very neat and reserved.... But did you ever go see them live? they tore the place apart....

If you dont like this you dont like dnb.

What other dnb album these days would ever get the chance to be nominated and win a Mecury music prize? NONE

man.. cant believe someone can even begin to say it was shit. Seriously ....
lol!

All his solo stuff was good dancefloor dnb but it wasnt as amazing as New Forms which was just sooooooooooooooo fucking sublime!

Went to go see Prodigy with RATm when i was 15 in 1996 at Reading... loved the Prodigy more than the RATM set... became a Prodigy nut which lead me to loads of electronic music, hip hop etc and got into dnb properly around 97/98 and bought decks. Had a world Dance CD that i caned to fuck and lost! Had all the big tunes like Fire, pulp fiction ect

but yeah that Planet V album was shit hot! I know a lot of people that got into dnb through that. Back when V actually put out dnb not this cack they stick out these days ...(yeah yah ..whatever lol)


it was all about these albums for me

no one has put out antything in dnb as seminal as those imo!

there were a few others like Ganja Kru, Planet V, Armageddon, Wormhole.... all got me really into dnb.

i buzzed off the Elevate and Freenote EPs by zinc, there are still my favs today and i play em were ever i can...

i think zinc has let himslf down a bit recently, would love him to make some rollers like these again.

Freenote was the first DnB tune I heared. And I went nuts!!

And I totally agree with you about Zinc. He should make that kind of tunes again. Like freenote.
 
Hearing my parents listening to Carl Cox in the car (when he used to play banging hardcore - 92-93-94) I preceeded to label any electronic music "Mad music" throughout my childhood.

Then 1 in the jungle on the weekend - Big show!

Then - Prodigy for sure, as alot of people have said. I think Liam Howlett is the seminal producer of the UK scene and continues to pioneer on alot of sideprojects I'll have you know!
