here i am in 2018 still checking this stuff out! bookmarked it when u made the post!
Parent
I LOVE YOU
icicle<3
Thanks! Gonna take a look later / in some days.

Dnb <3
LEL sorry bout the news admin but the add content button thingies are rly confusing

also gimme sticky
dont agree with all of it but nice list! I'll have some downloading to do :)
share your thoughts man

I'm interested
Parent
personally wouldn't have included chase & status or netsky, but it's a bit of personal preference, and then again chase & status were still OK @ More than alot but wouldn't rate that album as one of the best DNB ever :P
Parent
I think the c&k album has some awesome tracks on it. And the netsky album was a milestone for this cheesy dnb stuff.. Listening to it now, I don't like it as much as I used to back when it was released but I still think it deserves a place in this list.
Parent
yah netsky one does deserve it cuz it was a milestone indeed. I did love it when it came out but now im like meh :P and I was talking bout C&S not C&K cuz C&K are epic :D
Parent
oh lol my bad

yeah but you can pretty much just replace c&s with c&k in that case
Parent
man c&s more than alot is still epic tbh :D deserves to be on the list!!
Parent
only the tenne tonne lp
Parent
big aswell, but i will never forget tunes like hurt me & streetlife :D just my 2 cents thought
Parent
what would you replace them with? C&S album was very big in it's day and Netsky's album was probably the most hyped one in the last few years.
Parent
THIS IS AWESOME!

btw etherwoods spoken song that has been out for a while (which he released on his own ep for free) is signed to hospital!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA7Le4Mf3sY
1. Ed Rush & Optical - Wormhole
2. see nr. 1
3. Break - Resistance
4. Alix Perez - 1984
5. Ram Trilogy - Molten Beats
You got that break album in 320? Been hunting for a long time!
Parent
I have it on my laptop at home I think, I'll take a look in the weekend! It's wicked :-) Break is so good
Parent
Great list!

Evol Intent - Era of Diversion (2008)

BEST
lots of crap in there, but dom&roland <3
Share yer thoughts mane
Parent
Nice, but could you break it down in subgenres like Hellhammer did?
Would be stupid since most of those albums feature a variety of subgenres..
Parent
That really doesn't make any sense. Variety in pacing and composition doesn't automatically mean it's a subgenre, does it? I find it hard to believe most of these artists aren't working within a specific subgenre, at least on one single album.
Parent
They are all making drum&bass which is good enough for me aye..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3OzptqCDvw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euHgDBGtmUk

just an example of different subgenres.
Parent
since you seem to like BM: if that post actually implied that you were looking for some decent dnb, i would check out the following (i am not following dnb as close as bm, because it's really hard to get a good overview, but i definitely enjoyed these recently):
switch technique - altered (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKYIACxI8EE , the remix of zubcore's "prey" is also awesome)
eye-d & dj hidden - peer to peer pressure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4TtNv6gNjg)
nanotek releases (digital only, can't even name them since the disk with all my music died...)
throttler (!) (the new stuff is cool, but minus 13 floors amongst others is just awesome)
well, from this list i'd suggest black sun empire - driving insane & early dom & roland releases.
aside from that, barcode filthcasts, union casts (union recordings) and killing sheep records covers quite a good range of good music.
Parent
Nice playlist so far!
Pendulum > 95% of them tho :p
Hold your colour is an amazing album though
Parent
inb4 hellgast posting best trance of all time
Nice list overall! Wouldve liked to see more oldies (dont ask me which ones to add exactly as im not that familiar with jungle but I always seem to like the older tracks). Also surprised to see none of the later Optical & Ed rush albums! Atleast add Travel The Galaxy .. ! Oh and Photek - Modus Operandi if only it was for Minotaurrrr :)
Photek is great but his album not so much, and the same about the optical ed stuff their eps are great but the albums i dunno
Parent
hehe agreed.. problem for me was that all the later ed rush & optical albums were underwhelming because of the sheer awesomeness of Wormhole.. expections were too high I guess :-)
Parent
Oh yeah, proud of myself for knowing 5 people on the list!
lel so mainstream am i rite XD ^^
Parent

Parent
oh god. Rudimental - "Feel The Love" ft. John Newman

So fucking bad -_-', also listen to Levinm8
Parent
But the fred v + grafix remix is great
Parent
But the fred v + grafix remix is great
Parent
true! better than original
Parent
you make it sound like that is something hard to do :-) I think even the remix is pretty mediocre at best and that's being generous.. the vocals are just cringeworthy imo
Parent
Nice taste u got mister ! :o send more plz
Parent
i keep coming back for more music from you xD allways when i run out of music and need some inspiration and new tracks i try to find you hehe :D btw, ET is active airen!
Parent
There are quite a few I do not agree are DnB and you included Danny Byrd's album which makes me full on cringe. Some are HUGE albums and I applaud the list.

However, you miss some huge artists/albums

Intelligent Manners
Command Strange
New Zealand Shapeshfiters
Syncopix
B-Complex
Mutt
Origin Unknown
MRSA
Genetic Bros

I can list more if people like the above. I'm heavily into liquid funk so I'm biased towards that genre!

Also, boom http://www.last.fm/user/Acksaw
What albums do you think are not dnb? I can't seem to find one :O

Also from your list, some of them haven't released any albums (Origin Unknown, B-Complex, MRSA,...)
Parent
Artists like Noisia verge on the DnB scale to me
Parent
Are you serious LEL
Parent
Most of the tracks on Split the Atom are 140bpm!
Parent
Fair enough
Parent
Most of those didn't release any albums yet
Parent
Fair point. But good to at least share some more names
Parent
Disagree with Danny Byrd, he is a great producer and it has its place in the modern day sound.
Parent

Parent
You shock me :(
Parent
this doesn't work as well as the metal journal since albums aren't really a norm for releasing good dnb tracks
agreed, but it's still a nice tool if you want to get to know some more dnb.
Parent
Depends on the artist imo
Parent
yeah what i was trying to say is that there are loads of good dnb artists that never released an album
Parent
No Calibre - Condition LP?

Also, thoughts on Metrik and Fred V and Grafix?
Parent
I agree on the Calibre LPs but Fred V/Grafix stuff is a little too cheesy for me
Parent
True new-gen liquid I guess, but i love their sound and their sets are always so great too. Met fred at Park Life :D
Parent
Are you at Parklife this year?
Parent
Depends, might try and work it. Went last year and it was great! Ill keep you posted =}
Parent
So it's officially noise and not music right
yeah.... no
Parent
no spectrasoul or alix perez or ed solo?
Alix Perez 1984 is on it, as is Delay No More from Spectrasoul.

I also don't think Ed Solo has an album of his own (correct me on this if i'm incorrect please!)
Parent
Ah my bad - fyi ed solo has an album - "Random Acts Of Kindness" - pretty good check it out, but actually i dont think it goes in top albums of all time (re-listened)
Parent
Wanted to add that but it's not really straight up dnb
Parent
netsky 2
even Netsky 1 was a stretch amirite
Parent
Netsky 1 was huge.. Really really good album imo.
Parent
saw some ppl are adding single tracks so ok,

Parent
btw that Hydra tune always baffles me. That crossfire guy is from Belgium but I never ever see him play a gig around here and I go to things all over the country and have never seen another song from him but Hydra
Parent
There's more, but this is the bestEST. There's more of his music: https://soundcloud.com/crossfire
Not sure if he's that active in producing anyways.
Parent
hehe some pretty good tunes together with some bad ones :-) i'll edit with some older ones here later if people want to explore the origins :P
Parent
Great list Levin man, nice one. Good work!
Siren - Broken Silence 2010 (Siren is collaboration between1 Vicious Circle & 1 Universal Project guy)
Octane & DLR - Method in the madness 2012
The Upbeats - Big Skeleton 2009
DRS - I usually dont like MC's BUT... 2012
Seba ‎– Return To Forever 2008
Sabre - A Wandering Journal 2010
Raiden - Beton Arme 2011
BCee - Beat The System 2011 (has like 50% all-time tracks for me)

forthcoming Survival & Silent Witness' + Seba albums = SICKNESS
latest SPKTRM album on Project 51 will defo be a all-timer for me
same with Mindscape - Martian Chronicles.

I guess there are plenty of more, but ur list keeps having those which come to my mind, so gj :)
nice list man, good taste. excited for the new Upbeats album?
Parent
thanks, dude. Well, about The Upbeats - for me was Diffused Ep quite weak, but overall I guess their album will be top notch, just like Big Skeleton was.

shivers !!!

London Elektricity ‎– Live At The Scala
How about Black Sun Empire - From the shadows ?? it was rly the best dnb album of 2012, one who doesnt agree listened too much netsky or shit like that:P
Also Soulmagnet by Audio was rly good, Switch Technique, The Panacea, Limewax, Spor, Dub Elements, Current Value, Prolix... ?:P eh i dunno, maybe its too hard stuff for most of dudes here ;P anyway keep up listening to good music, dnb all the way!
bse album wasn't best of the year but yeah I could have added loads more I agree
Parent
so what was? definately not this calyx&teebee release that got awarded
Parent
c&t album was pretty epic :S Pure Gold/Scavenger/Elevate This Sound and especially Hurting are amazing tunes
Parent
eh i dunno, maybe ill give it a second try:P Im more into neuro/dark stuff tho!
Parent
Same here, but Hurting definitely is close to that.. absolutely great track imo
Parent
Spor doesn't have an album unfortunately!
Parent
same with Prolix. But defo this thread needs moar Gridlok.
Parent
definitely
Parent
Photek - Form & Function and Modus Operandi wouldve been nice additions, Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch - Lost All Faith is a worthy mention imo but thats probably because it falls under the style i like personally... Definitely dont agree with that J Majik & Wickaman album D: Their older stuff (as separate artists) and Metalheadz releases are so much better, again though personal preference
>no receptor
Receptor has not yet released an album!
Parent
what about no sleep?
Parent
woha,thank you !!
any hospital will do!
Not albums, but...

My favourite :)
