Haven't listened in a while. Imma listen today and give you my thoughts.

And ya the American scene was like a lil blip compared to uk. Good music went unheard during that era

album is heat except for beatbox session by gfs. that song is bad. but his other track "closure" is ok.

the comp is atmospheric mixed with regular dnb. my fave track is track one Understand by high bias. sounds like if a guy called gerald and krust where to make a song together.

also my cd is actaully 10 tracks and not 8. there are two High Bias records. both fire

not a single trace of that name anywhere on the internet linked to drum n bass

i dug a lil more and its these guys

I'm sure y'all know about the roots of hip hop. Sampling, drum breaks, DJ's and MC's. The roots of jungle are similar in a lot of aspects, utilizing drum breaks, sampling, etc, except it grew out of the breakbeat hardcore/free party scene in the UK.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_music

The style of music is meant for DJ's to mix at parties, so a lot of the song structure reflects that. It's better to listen to in mixes imo.

Goldie was also briefly engaged to Bjork

There's also a Good Looking Records (Bukem's Label) documentary from 1996 on youtube. The label manager is a complete jackass. It's like watching mid 90's rave Spinal Tap

Lots of early rave influence on this one^ Rave stabs

Hey OP If you’re big into Jungle and other similar era electronic stuff (House, Rave, Breakbeat etc) check out the book “Energy Flash” by Simon Reynolds.

Charts the evolution of electronic music all the way from Kraftwerk and early House through to the modern day. The original edition came out in the 90s I think so that’s the main focus of the book.

It’s a really good read and put me on to some rare tunes when I first read it
