Compiled just as earthy, reggae-tinged jungle was starting to give way to the more cerebral drum and bass movement, this is the sound of an innovative record label--drum and bass star LTJ Bukem's Good Looking--at its peak. The approach to the music is austere and sometimes more than a little scientific, but at their best the results are anything but sterile. Standout tracks include a pair of blinders from PFM: "Western", which has the air of a spoken-word gospel song, and "One And Only", a masterpiece of yearning. Peshay's devotional "Vocal" is mesmeric, and of Bukem's own contributions, "Demons Theme", conjures up the atmosphere of a virtual reality rainforest. Very fine stuff indeed. --David Bennun
From Amazon.com
A virtual pioneer in the realm of breakbeat, Danny "LTJ" Bukem first came into prominence as a DJ at Speed, a London nightclub that catered to the celebrated drum & bass cognoscenti. With his influential Good Looking and Looking Good music labels now quite popular in the U.K., Bukem also has a solid reputation as a producer and record executive. This double disc is a compilation of several outstanding Bukem performances, along with a number of remixed tracks by his favorite drum & bass compatriots. Including classic cuts by progressive electronic artists like Photek, DJ Crystl, and Peshay, LTJ Bukem has compiled a cutting-edge collection of studio/hardware-based dance music which proudly display mid-nineties breakbeat innovations straight out of the United Kingdom. This one's highly recommended. --Mitch Myers
