Who Say Reload?
Various
Prisoners Of Technology - "Trick Of Technology" - (7:05) 172 BPM
Amazon II - "King Of The Beats" (Re-Recording) - (6:51) 173 BPM
Jonny L - "Wish U Had Something" - (6:27) 176 BPM
Review: What a treat we have here... Paul Terzulli's info-packed book about drum & bass roots Who Say Reload now enjoys a sonic representation as many of the seminal classics celebrated in the book have been compiled for this album. From 'Valley Of The Shadows' to 'Renegade Snares' to '6 Million Ways', Who Say Reload's historical exploration is captured perfectly with some of the most important, game-changing and influential tracks of the 90s. Joining the dots from the music's junglistic roots to its current position as one of the most vital and thriving global rave movements expect stone cold classics from the likes of Nookie, Optical, Jonny L, Wax Doctor, Zinc (as Dopeskillz) and Andy C's earliest incarnation as one half of Origin Unknown.

The Nemesis - (5:58) 174 BPM
Review: Yes: Ed Rush & Optical are still at it, almost twenty years on. The drum and bass vanguards still have it too, executing their darkside futurism and bass science on the underground. The sick laboratory experiments are documented in all their perverse glory on No Cure, their sixth album on their very own Virus Recordings imprint. The title track (featuring the rhyming talents of longstanding collaborator Rhymetyme) comes tearing out of the speakers like a dark horse galloping through the dark. The jittery "Falling Down Stairs" trips all over itself but with such grace; its breakbeat finding itself and locking together again with the bass eventually. But if you ask us, it's all about tracks "Angry Birds" and "Nemesis", true steppers which nail that classic Virus sound that still sounds as fresh as ever. Ed Rush & Optical: accept no substitute.

Funktion/Naked Lunch
Funktion - (7:33) 175 BPM Hot
Naked Lunch - (8:07) 170 BPM
Review: This V recording re-release is more than a little bit special. "Funktion" has been a sonic benchmark for D&B producers since the days of pirate radio and cassettes; totally encapsulating the sound of a specific moment in time and yet somehow managing to still sound fresh and s exciting as it ever was, Ed Rush & Optical's classic roller is a must-own for any self-respecting producer, bedroom DJ or casual drum and bass fan. Created at a time when their Virus sound was still being honed, as they went on to transform D&B, they proved conclusively to be two of the most important people in the genre. This release isn't optional - it's essential.

Get Ill
Ed Rush & Optical - "Get Ill" (Prolix remix) - (6:05) 174 BPM Hot
BTK & Presence Known - "40 Channels Of Funk" - (6:10) 174 BPM
Review: A banger from 2003, this classic gets a huge rerub from London producer Prolix on Ed & Optical's Virus label. Already on top form after his Scourge EP, his take on "Get Ill" is just what the doctor ordered - a huge and hectic killer that adds gliding synths by the bucket load to make it an absolute destroyer. Backed up by the Dyke and the Blazers-sampling "40 Channels of Funk", this is yet another essential slice of Virus.
