Title: some brilliant work, some filler, but a good value
Review: I saw this at Heathrow airport and almost bought it. And when I saw it on this side of the Atlantic in my local record store - 6 drum n' bass CDs for the price of 1, featuring artists like Krust, Roni Size, and Photek - how could I pass it up?Any compilation of this size is bound to contain some filler, and Essential Drum & Bass has its share. There are musicians here that you will never hear their name anywhere else ever again. Some of the tracks differ little in their beats and sounds, and if you're not paying attention it's hard to tell when one track ends and another begins.There are some standout tracks here, but I find it's just a great collection to keep in the car or at work for when you just want an electronic soundtrack to whatever it is you're doing. Throw it on at your next party and you won't have to worry about the beat slowing down.
