An oddity and a gem

"This may not be everyone's idea of a fantastic album - you have to like this kind of stuff if you're going to enjoy it. It is a compilation album and I can't help feeling I'm listening to some bass fanatic's all-time favorite tracks. The album is mellow and sometimes stark, it is not really late at night music and it certainly isn't 'chilled'. The bass is wonderful - deep textured bass that you will totally miss unless you have a rather nice hifi or a good pair of headphones. Dub for techie Germans? Probably. The K&D and Fila Brazilia tracks are fabulous. The album cover says it all."

Great selection of european dub classics
