hey all,

after a few of you went wild on roni size's new full length, I went out
and had a listen, and I wasnt that impressed. WAY too much vocals. WHo is
that MC on the first track? well I didnt like him. I also found far too
many tracks with soul divas which were distasteful to my ears.

but I think its all a matter of taste. When it comes to drum n bass, I
have never been too fond of any of the "intelligent" stuff such as
anything Bukem has put is hands on, nor have I been that excited by
anything on metalheads (I did like J majik's new 12"). Its all to
repetetive, too clean. Personally, I
prefer the guys that push it a little farther and experiment (ie
squarepusher, photek, third eye foundation, aphex twin...etc)
anyways, just another opinion.
