In 1997 I turned 25, I was broke, sofa surfing,, had no job, I didn't even have a bank account. I lived in an unfurnished flat on the edge of Liverpool trying to stay out of trouble. I had a fridge a mattress and a Hitachi Superwoofer Cassette Player and 11 D&B tapes (among others) This mix kept my head together, kept me calm, optimistic and patient and confident that better days would come. These tunes took me to a great place without the drugs. Today, I live in Surrey, my kids are in Uni, I have my own small business, I am a published writer, a commissioned artist and a specist project manager. Hearing these tunes reminds me how far I have come, to stay humble, to never disconnect from the beauty of late 90s D&B and never forget the days I wished for all the things I have now. Not only does D&B take to a place of amazing social memories, but it also takes to a place of solitude and humility.  The D&B of 1995-1998 always sounds like a spiritual journey to me and a shameless display of electronic musical production in a style that transcends time and never sounds dated (like almost everything does)

If you’re here, we’re friends

Hypersleep is one of my all-time favorite jungle tracks. The vocal sample from Aliens is perfect

I really wish our future sounded like this

I was born this year, and I'm only just discovering this type of music now. I love all kinds of music, and don't really have much nostalgia for D&B and jungle, but I definitely see the appeal. It's a very relaxed yet energising vibe, and is great for studying or doing anything passive like playing games to. It's crazy to think that people used to rave and take ecstasy and go wild to this music.
I reckon it'd be nice with a joint with some buddies too if they were into that sort of thing, sadly I'm a bit isolated these days so it gets a bit lonely and I haven't really had any smoke sessions or been able to hang out with those types of friends at all since the beginning of the year. It really sucks. Since the beginning of 2021 life has felt so isolated for me, and yet in 1997 people would have imagined 2021 to be quite beautiful, or frighteningly advanced, not filled with news of the pandemic, fear of climate change or people still being displaced and discriminated. The reality is just quite ho-hum. But that is just my experience. Somebody just a mile away could be having the time of their lives.

One of the most interesting things I've observed about D&B and jungle albums is that the cover art is usually some kind of old CGI landscape or geometric shapes, or in this case a face which looks half blended in like Nagilum from early TNG haha. Which looks a bit odd and cheap nowadays compared to the quality of digital art these days. However, in the 90's it would have likely looked mysterious and futuristic, and very experimental and shows a lot of the quirky, edgy personality of the producers. I think that all adds to the nostalgic/reminiscent vibe of this music. I was just born back then, but it was a different culture to now, and it's really expressed through the art.

This took me to an abandoned research facility amongst the glaciers of my mind

random comment but does anyone else find it extremely difficult to get people to acknowledge and appreciate 90s breakbeat/jungle?

I think this guy on the CD front is Cristiano Ronaldo time traveling from the future.

France, Brasil, China, wherever I go, this music makes sense and fits in perfectly

This is the meaning of music. This is pure universal consciousness manifested into auditory pleasure. Absolute masterpiece from the first second to the last. If the universe could be broken down into pure sonic information, this is what it would sound like. Bliss.

Favourite genre of music outside of
hiphop❤🥁🥁🌠🌌🪐🌌🔥

Finally I found a whole set of them, I always liked "Hypersleep" in this "Peshay Studio Set". One of my favourite tracks

This and all the Good Looking records stuff is still good today. So much better than all this current overproduced Ai crap.

Thank you to Peshay for introducing me to this world of ethereal, ambient music

Besides the popular Hypersleep, Desire is my second favorite, but Jazzed Out is the underrated one, so nice, relaxing, that tune is so sick

I'm back to listen to this for the 4,000th time. From start to finish

Look up pete voyagers soundcloud... Lives in Belgrade now.... The possessions track is classic voyager.. Thank me later ya😅

Life is so hectic and complicated in 2024 this takes a step back in time when things were so simple and relaxed no sh*< given, music was life and nothing else seemed to matter,

Love the eary vibe in track Waiting For Me. Reminds me of some kind of Twin Peaks episode
