Just the same old boring two step rubbish. Dom & Roland's album "Industry" has quite a bit of two step in it but manages to be a lot more rhythmically complex, as well as having some very evocative melodic bits at times. And Arcon 2's album is the darkest and most intricately programmed "mainstream" drum'n'bass album I've heard in recent years. > it being dark, i suppose that's open for interpretation, but the > appellation baffles me a bit. is 'dark' what they call melody-less, > minimal drum n bass? Unfortunately yes. One can sortof see why when it's played VERY LOUD at a club, but compared to say the stuff mentioned above, or indeed to what one might expect or hope to hear, most of it's very very lame indeed.
