| | PLEASE NOTE | |
| | that this is the 2008 remastered CD version | |
| | of this classic album. FERiCEX release from | |
| | 2000 was the 1997 reissue (JBOX030CD) which | |
| | differs in terms of track lengths and is | |
| | missing the 'Voodoo Rage' track which isnt | |
| | available as digital source rip anywhere | |
| | else (VOODJ1 = Vinyl). JBLP25 that we | |
| | released in 2006 was the original vinyl | |
| | version. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | -- | |
| | | |
| | Where to start with this album? Firstly, I | |
| | should say that it ranks in my personal top | |
| | 10 albums of all time and never fails to | |
| | absolutely destroy me. Secondly - the abysmal | |
| | sound quality of the original 1995 issue has | |
| | now at long last been replaced by this | |
| | brilliant new master - finally doing justice | |
| | to the material and playable at loudest | |
| | volumes imaginable - which we heartily | |
| | encourage! | |
| | | |
| | 'Black Secret Technology' came out just | |
| | before Goldie's 'Timeless' and was soon | |
| | overshadowed by its commercial success, but | |
| | Gerald's album remains a milestone in British | |
| | electronic music and somehow sounds more | |
| | relevant today than pretty much any Jungle/ | |
| | Drum & Bass album we can think of. | |
| | | |
| | Gerald brought together elements of Hardcore | |
| | and Jungle with a melodic, evocative sound | |
| | layering that could best be described as | |
| | appropriating the chords and strings of | |
| | Detroit techno. The resulting sound is both | |
| | luxurious and oppressive, despite the | |
| | harmonies it's a much less polished piece of | |
| | work than Goldie's 'Timeless' and is somehow | |
| | defined by that sonic dichotomy. The opening | |
| | 'So Many Dreams' is both emotionally | |
| | overwhelming and relentlessly cavernous - | |
| | even the widescreen strings are squashed by | |
| | brilliantly unstable production, the drums | |
| | layered and impossibly intricate, the | |
| | bassline nothing short of heartstopping. | |
| | | |
| | 'Energy' (interestingly co-produced with | |
| | Goldie) is another indefinable piece of | |
| | engineering, samples and vocals submerged by | |
| | wonky synths and amazingly clever | |
| | arrangements that leave you emotionally | |
| | drained yet exhilarated. But it's tracks like | |
| | 'Cybergen' that no one quite seemed to | |
| | understand back in '95 that really leave you | |
| | awestruck by this amazing album. It's a | |
| | fierce, almost deranged alignment of grinding | |
| | hoover noises and stripped drums in a proto | |
| | 2-step formation that will absolutely | |
| | destroy you when played loud - hard to | |
| | overstate just how righteous it is. If you | |
| | don't already own this landmark album - what | |
| | the f*ck you waiting for???? Utterly | |
| | Essential for all bass, drums and next-level | |
| | fiends = every home should own a copy. | |

| This release may contain copyrighted material, however SOUR guarantees |
| that this material was at least available to one person "on the street" |
| and that the possession of this material is in no way privileged. |
| |
| SOUR has been releasing good quality drum'n'bass, jungle & oldskool rips to |
| the internet drum'n'bass public since summer 1999. Originally a small |
| operation, we have now reached levels of international acclaim. |
| |
| SOUR is dedicated to both the availability and promotion of music to the |
| public, and our rips are intended to reflect these ideals. Specifically: |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of new music that is currently |
| available to buy. If you like something you hear, you are obliged to |
| attempt to purchase an original copy. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of old music that may no longer be |
| available to buy. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion and infiltration of drum'n'bass |
| worldwide! We provide a service where none is available, specifically in |
| many remote countries where traditional distributors can not afford to |
| target. Also, the availability of drum'n'bass in an easily accessible |
| form expands the potential for real world sales to people who may not |
| otherwise have considered buying drum'n'bass. |
| |
| . SOUR is dedicated to the expansion of the online and offline real world |
| scenes. With more listeners enjoying what they hear, clubs and venues can |
| only expect MORE people to attend events; DJ's can only expect MORE |
| people to pay to see THEM. |
| |
| By accident of today's current real world distribution arrangements, many |
| artists will find that SOUR releases IMPROVE their real world sales; |
| especially for items only on vinyl. This is the basis upon which SOUR |
| operates. |
