The worst bassline album.............
Terrible! The cheesiest, pop-like bassline I have ever heard. Recommended to all kids under 15 who think they're really cool because they like 'bassline'.

A terrible representation of this great genre!

ok for the bassline novice, but below par for the bassline connoisseur
I agree with "sir cheese" in many respects. I too have been on the bassline scene for a few years, when you would only really hear it up north and the mainstream used to say you had to be on something to listen to 'that' type of music! lol. So the fact that it has made it to this level does make me happy to see.

The advert was a great marketing tool, I had been searching for "Chemistry" by Dezz Jones and Gia Mia since it was big in the clubs a couple of years ago, but never been able to find it, so this sold it for me really. But i too was duped!!! Yes there are some classic anthems, for me these include ("lately", "smile", "come on over" etc - all very vocal anthems) but there is also too much rubiish to be honest. Having listened to the cd's many times now, i find myself flicking through most of the tracks to get to something decent. I haven't even heard some of the tunes before, and it left me wondering where some of the other major anthems that used to get us girlies rocking at niche were. Maybe it is something to do with copyrights etc. as many of these were remixes of other artists songs (an old Alicia Keys song springs to mind).

It leaves you with some individual decent songs, but a mediocre album as a whole, ok for the bassline novice, but below par for the bassline connoisseur.

The Sound of Bassline - Marketed by about 5 songs
As we have all no doubt seen the advert and heard, this is one of the freshest dance albums to have been released in a while, mainly because the garage scene has been so quiet over the years. And while it does have stand out tracks, it's plainly obvious over listening over and over again that the mixes have been stretched out into 3 CD's... in typical Ministry of Sound fashion.

The result? Their are about 10/12 good to great tracks. The rest merely makes up space to say "Hey, theirs '3' CD's of quality garage/bassline here". I find this particularly deceiving, and should have known better. In a realistic situation, this album could have been compacted into 2 CD's maximum, if that. Instead, you've either got to change CD or skip loads of tracks just to get to the best songs! Not only this, but they've put all the tracks on the advert on separate CD's far apart.

I'm a DJ myself and play by the attitude of Quality over Quantity - a moral that is being lost with the introduction of CDJ's (because you can travel with hundreds of CD's compared to 30-50 vinyls). The clever advertising surrounding this album proves you can now, cheaply, wrap a large package around a small gift.

Download only, to buy the best tracks.

QUALITY
Everyone needs to buy this compilation... 3 of the best DJ's in the scene mixing the best tunes of new & old.

This CD is perfect for the mainstream & underground fans of Bassline/Niche/4x4. Amazing CD!

[] The Sound Of Bassline
Well I've heard all these before in the clubs around Leeds (L DOUBLE EDS) so I can safely say this is the best collection of bassline songs..

Having been an underground scene for quite a while now I'm glad to see it becoming so popular although I do doubt it will be a continuous thing but its certainly a good thing whilst it happens.

If you love the recent bassline singles in the charts (T2 and H Two O) then this is definately the album for you to hear more of the good music that the scene is producing.

If your an old fan of bassline then this album is a great collection to have even though you probably heard the songs before.
