"I grew up listening to Alternative and Hip Hop. I thought techno was for losers, and that electronic instruments couldn't be "real." I was wrong. The first Bukem song I heard was "Demon's Theme Part II" from the soundtrack to The Jackal. I loved it and began searching for LTJ Bukem, anywhere I could. Then I found Progression Sessions. To say that this music has shaped my life is an understatement. Ever since discovering P.S. 1 and P.S. 4, my rides in the car and hours spent doing homework have never been the same! One caveat: if you've never listened to a set of DJs from the U.K., you may not be used to the British-accented rap. It'll grow on ya, I didn't prefer it at first, but now I can't imagine it any other way!
P.S. 1 is an incredible album. It starts with an ethereal soft keyboard that sounds organ-like and chime-like at the same time. Then high-strings follow with an easy drum line. When the bass hits the first time at 2:15 and Conrad says "...let the Progression Session begin...", things take shape and the mellow track puts you in a groove (Make sure you have a decent system or some nice cans "
Absolutely Amazing...

"This first Progression Sessions is an incredible album. Both LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad are definitely at their best and it is well worth buying. After all, this album launched a phenomenon that has produced many more fantastic Progressions Sessions that seem to keep getting better and better."
