The bit at 3:00's one of those exquisite moments shiels talked about. Pure bliss.

Discovering that stuff at the time was totally mindblowing for me cos I'd got into drum n bass through pendulum, had gone from liking jump up to liquid/tech stuff, then slowly begun discovering jungle, and then stumbled into this great horde of music that sounded like the soundtrack to the coolest movie ever.

The biggest problem with the 8 Series Gran Coupe is its price. It's quite hard to justify unless you really want its dynamic driving experience when there are rivals out there that are more practical, more comfortable, just as luxurious and significantly cheaper.

This was music steeped in dark romance; brooding, foreboding and cold, unbearably tense. Check 'Stonekiller' – a colossus of clammy-backed fear, like being stalked through the twisting, flicker-lit basement alleyways of Hong Kong's dilapidated Chungking Mansions by machete-wielding gangsters, through the kitchens with the live hens, past the gambling dens and barbers. Truth be told it's a bloody nightmare of a track, and one that illustrates the fact that, though often black as night, Source Direct never gave into the base nosebleed aesthetics that came to dominate drum & bass just a few years later. Their music was beautiful and, as they scarcely left the studio and were uninterested in pursuing the breakneck DJ schedule of many of their contemporaries, they had the time they needed to craft it to perfection.

Imagine Clarkson reading that.

Just for the record, the 2-series Gran Coupe is built alongside all the other 1- ... with a WLTP fuel consumption of 37.2mpg and emits CO2 at a rate of 178g/km. .

So this is what Corpsey was talking about re: Dissensus ruining things. I'm struggling to remember what I liked about them now.

 

[william kent]

I think the tunes are just that good.

Embarrassing. What a fool I was back then.

You've gone through what I went through over the course of about three years within the space of a single thread.

 

[william kent]

luka did say I was an upgraded Corpsey.

There's something about "dark", "atmospheric" music that is the antithesis of what Craner and Luka represent.

I don't think they like sci-fi films, either, except maybe stupid ones about Robby the Robot, or camp Italian ones with huge-breasted aliens.
