http://download.breakbeat.co.uk/lpsepsartists/subfocus/subfocus.aspx The sound clips don't usually do an album justice but they're enough to give you an idea! IMO Drum & Bass is pretty special at present and the new Sub Focus is no exception. They might have toned their sound down on some tracks to get noticed a bit more but there are some real beasts on there! A few Pendulum influenced tracks (for the kids), Dubstep, Old skool sounds and more. Anyone with even a passing interest should buy it. *Awaits the Drum n Bass purists to come and told me they've sold out*

Not really keen on Sub Focus usually - more into the the liquid side myself - although Rock It is a pretty cool tune if that of a sell out ;). I'll give the album a listen now.
EDIT
Stand out tracks - Follow The Light mmm liquidy goodness.
Last Jungle - Mmmm Jungly goodness.
Deep Space - Quite a nice ambient, mellow but moody tune.
Rock It - like i said good tune, although if Pendulum had done it i probably would have hated it lol.
Splash - Until it gets all Pendulum re-hash that is a ****in brilliant tune!
Few "yawn-same-old" Sub Focus tracks on there but it's not a bad album tbf. Good to see him trying his hand at other styles, though the tracks weren't brilliant.

didn't realize subfocus had put out a cd...thanks dms =)
last subfocus tune I bought was timewarp. I still remember when subfocus came out some of my friends thought he was crap and were wondering why I played his stuff...personally think he's probably the best thing on ram right now.

Yep. Was just a joke about people's attitudes towards Pendulum tied in with the review of this track, as it's quite Pendulum influenced but it's ok cos it's Sub Focus.....if that makes any sense?
