Wastes no time unleashing it's eerily atmospheric and bouncy punch-4-punch sound affected drum hits.
This is primarily a drumbeat driven old-school spirited drum and bass track, such that you would find on a Strictly Underground labels'; ultimate drum and bass classics cd. It's core is in the chopperish metallic sounding mesh in vein of the Moving Fusion and the Ram Trilogy collective. That is with their screeching and reverberated ping ponging rusty chain spritey synth effect on patches not meant to carry the track over bars but stab and swim here and there within each bar. Make no mistake this is a very original well paced and intelligently laced drum and bass tune that takes you on an adventure diving and detouring just when you think you know what to expect. It entrances and cushions what it does in previous bars with subtle gear changes you may not instantly notice but is appealing to of affecting different parts of your musical cortex.

Just before a minute concludes a waterfall of breakbeat in the jungle 93 style overtakes. A quite funky round up of four bars of bedlam. Then it relaxes and allows you to draw some breaths and goes back to the bouncy breakbeat with effects in the background. When the first set of breakbeat drum rolls ride at the end of each bar the amen snare rings and echoes upon itself like a robot spewing out its instructions.
Then after about eight bars someone switches on the light again, but this time its more to show off of the meticulously redone amen break. Absorb and draw your breath as the amen gives both a left hook and is winding for a round house. Triplets timing on the drum machine everywhere. A massive disaster. True drum and bass. Think something of Amon Tobin's the Mission meets One Small Step and Moving Fusion. Utimately the bassline acts as an undercurrent, and doesn’t come in the foreground as its more about feeling the beats.
Fx Creationcreates an atmosphere around the harsh beats. This is like Public Enemy's Bombsquad in Fear of A Black Planet mode on drum and bass.
This track will represent the year 2008 for the 12 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT ONLINE PURE DRUM AND BASS MASSIVE ATTACK In the aftermath of Andy C's BodyRock
