I'd recommend his >stuff, though. I don't really find either cd to be drum and bass. I'm thinking that Child's View came out before the term drum and bass was even coined. Wouldn't really know how to classify either, but Child's View has a lot of jazz and Brazilian influence. Mostly instrumental (sax, bass, drums, guitar) with a few tunes with vocals. The Child's View Remix cd is more of what I would call IDM. But, since someone previously said that IDM isn't a type of music, I guess I shouldn't use it as a category (although it works so well). It's remixed by artists like Aphex Twin, Roni Size, Coldcut, Luke Vibert, Reflection and The Mad Professor.
