BMG has decided to release (in CZ) Kruder & Dorfmeister's Conversions, a Drum n' Bass compilation first released by Spray way back in '96. They may be trying to drum up interest in the group in anticipation of K & D's forthcoming album of remixes, tentatively titled K&D sessions. Anyway, Conversions is very dated, although I am sure this was very of the moment when released. I mean, in '96, JunglePop was all the rage. K&D's release DJ Kicks (also '96) is a much better album. Phat, downtempo...just plain dope beats. Highly recommended.

LISTEN-The Chem Bros. third offering of originals comes with a truckload of expectations, and the fellas admirably and gleefully disregard current trends in beats both big and fast, to deal out another set of tunes to party to, or... Click to Continue...

LISTEN-It would be hard to overestimate the influence of 1994's The Downward Spiral, an epochal creation, both culturally and commercially. Yet for all the nihilistic digi-rock spawn of Trent Reznor's Nine-Inch Nails ever since,... Click to Continue...
