        one of the best albums of the golden era of drum'bass, still with some jungle & amen break elements and rolling basslines. i love this style very much and this is a highpoint like torque by ed rush. a must have!

          My God..... Mind Games and Invasion, i get all jittery just thinking about these tunes...

          Pinnacle production skills for that time just before the obvious use of breaks got left behind in jungle and D&B moved into a more electronic feel as Vinylexchanger comments below. Realistically I don't think it got much better than this.

          Headphones, car or a club - doesn;t matter, whole album sounds amazing anywhere. EQ'd to perfection.

          Half the tracks on this album are genuinely devastating and the remainder are out and out high quality rollers. 10/10

            The best RAM compilation by far. I know they are the biggest label in d & b but I honestly think that is down to Andy C the DJ & not their output in general. OK I know many will not agree with me but imo there are just sporadicly good tunes from this label & it has totally gone downhill in the last few years but so has d & b in general. Anyways back to this LP, every tune is a stone cold classic that has smashed every dance worldwide a thousand times, they really are that good! Go buy it NOW!!!
