Naphta's
long awaited debut album finally hits the shelves. Purposely rooted in
the source music that inspired the original sample-heavy Junglistic
blueprint back in 1993/‚94, this album offers a selection of ruff cuts
that draws on reggae, dancehall, funk, soul and hip hop. This strictly
limited co-release with Ruff Revival is available on to buy on CD directly from The Fear, or from Road Records in Dublin.
"...resurrects the art of the dancehall loop, but strings a whole
series of post-drum 'n' bass devices into the mix of this debut set..." - WIRE Magazine
"...a fascinating revisionist account of junglism, arguing that
jungle was much more than we’ve been told, and sold, in recent years." - FACT Magazine
"Naphta knits it all together with an obsessive fer vour, strafing
between hardcore brukkouts and smoking steppers, constantly twisting
into familiar yet surprising shapes and modes, this is definitely no
formulaic ragga jungle rehash gash." - Boomkat Album of The Week
“...a genuine attempt to reinstate some of those Junglist vibes, rhythms and attitude at the core of drum and bass culture..” - Warpmart Album of The Week
“...anyone who wants to hear someone who's actually managed to do
the impossible and go all the way back to the foundation ethics of
sample based breakbeat music and deliver a fresh take on it is going to
lap this right up.” - Slick DJ Magazine Album of The Month
"If you're only going to buy one drum 'n' bass album this
decade, it should be this one." - Woofah magazine
"This album isn't a homage to the days when Drum and Bass was
exciting, vibrant, experimental, melodic, intricate, tongue in
cheek....IT IS exciting, vibrant, experimental, melodic and all the
other great things drum and bass at it's best can be." - Irish Drum and Bass |
