amon tobin rules. as do many other ninja tune-artists. i wouldn�t consider
amon tobin as d�n�b artist though. he has done a lot of other (cool9 stuff
as well.

not an expert on drum�n�bass, have to confess, i quit buing d�n�b something
like three years ago, but there are some artists i think that fit into your
liking. tracks aren�t mentioned, can�t just remember �em no more..
older dj krust - v recordings
older roni size - v recordings
technical itch and stuff on his tech itch label
stuff on ram records
wild palms - ninja tune
stuff on protocool records
ed rush and optical
all this stuff is raw, but at least half of the stuff has - on my opinion -
too monotonic and not too interesting rhythm tracks. but the sound is rude
and harsh.

personally, i like the old stuff like early shy fx, t -power, dillinja,
grooverider and so on. most the stuff with reggae and ragga ingredients.
also, the jazzier side of d�n�b is worth checking out, stuff like
kudos, e-z rollers and of that like.
and well, i ain�t too keen on that melodic (intelligent - that is?) stuff
like bukem or pfm either. peshay�s stuff is way cool though. i think his
"vocal tune" is the best drum�n�bass track ever - with istari�s Upay4, of
course. anyone sampling crass can�t be wrong. how �bout conflict or g.b.h
then?
