Drum & Bass - Various Artists’s debut, ‘Blech II (Blechsdottir)’, does not fit easily into one genre. Bun B. Hear has compared writing for Drum & Bass - Various Artists’s new album to that on ‘Blech II (Blechsdottir)’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Blech II (Blechsdottir) isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Check it every song is worth the money for the Blech II (Blechsdottir) CD!
Rotar, Flutter (Autechre) is another favourite of mine. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Drum & Bass - Various Artists. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Put Ventolin (Plain-An-Gwarry Mix) (Aphex Twin) into car stereo for your highway driving Rsdio (Autechre) is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Nautilus (Jake Slazenger) makes a person feel excellent. Dreddoverboard, Cow Cud Is A Twin (Nightmares On Wax, Aphex Twin) is perfect song though, very addictive. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Overall a nice softer song. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Chase The Manhattan (The Black Dog). Infinite Lites (Primitives Mix) (B12) is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Album opener Midnight Drive, Hey Hey Can U Relate, Dextrous (Elecktroids, Dj Mink, Nightmares On Wax) is a bright, upbeat ditty. In Downtown, Saw2 Trk15 (Jimi Tenor, Aphex Twin) the music gets its power. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. The sound in Shove Piggy Shove, Humba (Lfo, Mira Calix) is really warm and Drum & Bass - Various Artists’s signature voice is still very much present. This track is clearly meant to showcase Drum & Bass - Various Artists’s vocal abilities. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Blech II (Blechsdottir). Gambia Via Vagator Beach (Mr. Scruff Mix) (Nightmares On Wax) the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Paroles (Mike Ink) is the song that really did it for me. Ventolin (Wheeze Mix) (Aphex Twin) is a astounding sing-along. Slowdance (Jake Slazenger) is simply excellent.
