 The CD is great..... September 22, 2005
Fouad Talybov (US)
I don't know what that DJ is complaing about this CD being mediocre. Just because you can't spin some of this music in the clubs it doesn't render Aphrodite mediocre. I personally enjoy this
cd: Off limits, See thru, Hoochie, and so on. You may come to this some of these tracks a bit hard to spin for a wider audience (dj's perspective) but you'll enjoy the beats (dancer's perspective).

I must say that this album has totally blown me off... To my opinion it's one of Aphrodites best, if not THE best.
I'm no newby in DnB, so take my word and get this album... I've played it to a lot of my friends, and they all really loved it.
My favourite track is probably Ganja Man, but they all trully do kick ass.

i bought this cd 2 years ago and have listened to it maybe three or four times. its appallingly obvious that aphrodite is using outdated equipment to produce his music and this cd comes across sounding like all his other stuff. he even bragged in remix magazine about using the same equipment that hes been using for years to patch this stupid cd together. he needs to evolve or just give up producing alltogether. here it is 2 years after the cd has been released and jump-up has not made a come-back. its over people. drum and bass is not for candy-ravers and fairy lovers. just because d&b is moving away from dark and heavy tech-step to more melodic and danceable tunes doesn't mean its prime time for a genre that died 5 years ago.
skip this for true colors by high contrast or resonance by reid speed if your looking for innoffensive drum & bass.
Sellout? lol November 18, 2003

First of all, whoever says this guy's a sellout needs to stop munchin' so much candy and get a musical education. If more DJ's were like Aphro, Dance music would have a much larger crowd. This is a great mix. I've had it for a while, and continually enjoy it. Yes, there's some hip hop in there, but it works well. A good investment, but honestly, now that I picked up his 2003 release "Urban Junglist", I like the new Aphro better. Less sci-fi flash, more meaty D'n'B.
 Not bad, just not my favorite. October 14, 2003

Aphrodite never sold out, in fact, he helped pioneer the sound which has come to be what defines west-coast D'n'B for alot of people, and alot of people like it (including me). While this has certainly made him very successful as an artist and dj, it doesn't equate to him being a sell-out. He used to be a sell-out until now with a new, radio-friendly sound? That's one confused kid.
Aphrodite's style on this disc is a more aggressive hip-hop influnced one than on his older stuff that I own, most notably The Takeover Bid - Round One and his eponemous release. Both of those have what I'd call a rave-ier sound than this one, more electronic and upbeat (not to be confused with up-tempo). Personally I liked those works better than this one, especially at the time when they were released.
This time, we get alot more hip-hop. I like hip-hop, especially older stuff and underground, but that doesn't mean that I like my D'n'B saturated with it. I agree with the other reviewers here that all of the colaborations are pretty cool, but I don't feel that Aphrodite necessarily "needs" it, as he's capable of doing great work on his own. I can't help but feel that hip-hop is taken for granted these days as an automatic way to gain street cred. Great if you're a true hip-hop artist ~ maybe questionable if you're not. As far as Aphrodite, I'll leave that up to the listener to decide for themself where he falls. And while I would certainly agree that this a darker sound for Aphrodite, I think that buying this disc expecting dark side would be disappointing; it certainly gets alot darker than this.
Overall, this disc isn't bad. If you're a fan of his earlier stuff but aren't a big fan of hip-hop, you may want to pass on this one. Otherwise, you might really like it (and should check out Pish Posh for more good state side jump-up d'n'b).
