V Classic

Volume One (Konkrete Jungle/ Ultra)
by Bob Ham

The disc opens up with Roni Size‘s “It’s Jazzy,” which starts off with a great piano loop, then kicks in with some samples and a hard-ass beat that’ll either get you on your feet or annoy the crap out of you in under two minutes, depending upon your tastes. The disc does not let up either, featuring two more Roni Size tracks (again pushing drum’n’bass towards its obvious jazz-based ends), one by Goldie, and several more featuring superstars from the Metalheadz and Reprazent collectives.
