>first, can someone explain what 'drill n bass' sounds like?
It's like Drum and Bass taken to the insane extreme. Like imagine the RDJ
album if it was jungle. It can be done well, but for a lot of people, it
gets annoying after a few minutes.
What i consider to be the best examples of drill'n'bass:
Squarepusher "Big Loada" US compilation (nothing/Warp)
Plug "Drum'n'Bass for Papa" US compilation (can't remember label)
What drill'n'bass i enjoy:
Funki Porcini "Let's See What Carmen Can Do" EP (ninja tune)
Amon Tobin "Pirhana Breaks" and "chomp samba" EPs (ninja) The jazzier side
of drill'n'bass
Animals on Wheels "Cooked" EP (ninja tune)
(What can i say? I'm a sucker for ninjatune EPs. I need more albums.)
Bought Funki Porcini's "Ultimately Empty Million Pounds" today, and the
clerk gave me a free promo ("Bluffers Guide 3: The 'Tings of Spring'" with
a bunch of New ninja offerings, most of which i already had, but having J
Swinscoe on CD is nice, and i'm going to have to check this Roots Manuva
guy's CD out. He sounds awesome. Great beats and deep bassy voice. And the
CD fits in nicely with Funkungfusion, basically making it a 3 cd set.
