another great 1997 d&b release is the aphrodite compilation. it's actually
not a compilation, just aphrodite in his various guises. every track is
very funky jump-up style jungle. a great fun album. beats the lame
noodling along of newforms and the like anytime. 
and why should lunatic harness not qualify as d&b? ("d" standing for
drum.)
