    It can't make a comeback because it requires knowledge of drum programming. A skill sadly lost long ago.

    Agreed. Bought this the week it came out. Got to see/hear NO-U-TURN play at a massive warehouse rave at Valley Forge outside of Philly in Spring 1997. It was a 3x3 tag team with Nico, Ed Rush and Trace. Once in a lifetime. The "main" room had Rob Hood (definitely during his peak period as well) and Josh Wink headlining. I caught Trace playing many, many times on the East Coast and Midwest around 95-97 when he was living part -time in Philly with Karl K (their crew was called PHI, Philly Hardstep Inc.). Caught Ed Rush @ his first US gig at Washington D.C. in the fall of 1996, and many times after, in D.C., New York, Canada, etc. Needless to say, I was an absolutely hardcore devotee of Techstep and Jungle/DnB from the early 90s and throughout the decade.

    ​​@@evltwin984yeah, agreed. I caught many sets by Bad Company over the years, mostly in NYC and D.C.. Toronto as well. Phenomenal production and jocking skills, but to me they can't top No-U-Turn in 96/97 in my opinion. Trace in 96 was the GOAT.

    This jungle; which grooves hard like jazz; still cuts through much off the contemporary BS. Most tracks are still as hyper relevant as the day this was released and the mix is presenting Rush as a fierce cunning master. Dope AF. In fact this is even more relevant and prophetic then ever. Faves!? DAMN SON is fine AF, Mothership, Amtrak, MDM. Crystal, SQUADRON is perfect... Hell; they all kick ass. Describing a very rough and sick intense distopian world. Well; it's here. We're here. No U turn as far as I can see. Am I wrong!? Thanks for da share bruv. ^_^

    agree! except your very 1st sentence. these beats here are definately quantized. in jazz real drummers usually don`t play with clicktracks, so there`s a permanent movement in the time signature which actually creates something like `groove` or `swing`, (plus ternary rhythms of course). cheeeerz!

    This reminds me of some radio station in London which introduced me to this type of sound in the very early 00s . My ( and my lucky mates´s ) pre/post work soundtrack in the van ( commuting from work ) , all day everyday . Some crazy , tweaked out, oblique, obscure drum ´n´ bass too ... you would have to be well connected to lay your hands on some of this vinyl stuff back in what I perceive as the mid " squat partying " era ... before it became harder and harder to turn two council flats into 1 half decent underground music venue with a simple but effective sledgehammer from work .
