Arctic Music At Juno Download

Review: Veteran producer Dev Pandya has been pumping out various slants on the drum and bass genre since the mid 90s. It's as Alaska that Pandya has donned his ambient jungle hat, promising an epic trilogy of Tolkien-esque proportions that began a decade ago with the Virtual Virtuosos LP. Now four years on from Arctic Foundations, Alaska has released the final chapter in The Mesozoic Era. Supposedly composed in sub zero surroundings, tracks such as "Kodiak" and "Viola" will please fans of ambient jungle rinse outs, with Alaska also getting some stunning vocal performances from acclaimed trance siren Kirsty Hawkshaw and Robert Manos. Finally, on "Sample Me #17" Alaska again provides a track comprised of one long break for the budding producers out there to pilfer.
