Back to the DNB roots

The past year and a half I have drifted away from the Drum and Bass / Jungle scene because there wasn't anything released that I found really compelling.

Out of curiosity I went to check out Drum & Bass Arena to see if there was anything worth while to listen to.

Be still my heart the Bachelors of Science released their Science Fiction LP. Six tracks of Drum & Bass goodness. Tracks that will set you free. They released this LP early this year, Jan 2008, but these tracks definitely have that spring time feel.

Check out Songs for Lovers.



You will be thrilled and inspired by the balance of string melodies against the rough drum patterns and sequences.

The Smashing Punpkins release Zeitgeist

The Smashing Pumpkins released Zeitgeist this past Tuesday (July 10, 2007).

I have been a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins ever since my friend played me their album Gish. I grow-up listening to their albums as a teenager and I still to this day I have them in my play list because I enjoy their music that much.

That being said my view on the Smashing Pumpkins new album might be a little bias. When I heard the first single off the album, Tarantula, I was almost instantly remind of Everlasting Gaze. It's hard, heavy and has a great bridge. But there were some elements of that song that of classic Smashing Pumpkins songs. Mainly the bridge because the always use a bridge to break into slower part the song.

Doomsday Clock was the next song that I hear. It was interesting because I had just finished watching the Transformers live action movie and the song came on during the credits. It's another solid rock anthem that I could sing along to.

It seems to me that artists these days are writing and preforming their songs with a purpose. One other artist that comes to mind is Nine Inch Nails. The release of Zero Year was quite political. In my opinion the Smashing Pumpkins have release a political record but they do it with a bit style and class. Billy has become aware of the world around him and his place in it and he wanted to put some of that down on paper. Which he has done perfectly.

Even though it's been seven years Zeitgeist was worth the wait. If you're a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins then this album is worth buying.
