also, is it just me, or has uk garage blown up way more than even jungle in its heyday? i mean, jungle took one dip into the underworld and never really climbed back out, but this stuff seems to be straddling the mainstream-underground line pretty well with all the MC bizness and, uh, Craig David.

I've also had pretty good luck with the DJ Luck and MC Neat compilations. If you can find it, "Garage Vibes" has a pretty good set of older tunes from 98-99, I think, and some overcompiled stuff like Doom's Night and Spin Spin Sugar.
And finally, yes, the Artful Dodger 2001 set is wretched. It looks like it should be fantastic but I've never made it through either disc. Dunno why.

SEARCH: Pure Garage 3 - some duff tracks but some oh my god that's amazing tracks too. Most obviously David Howard's "U & I", which somehow combines a 2-step beat, military snares and what sounds like a bouncing marble into one mindblowing rhythm.
SEARCH: the "Unlocked" Muzik mag comp released late 2000 with fantastic 'Sound of the Pirates'-style tracks from Locked On. Much better than the similar somewhat drab Masterstepz-mixed Mixmag release from about the same time.
SEARCH: So Solid Crew's "Fuck It" mix - a bit exhaustingly, strangely, but I enjoy it more each time I listen to it.
DESTROY: Pure Garage 4 - oddly depressing, despite an abundance of great tracks.
EH: Ms Dynamite's album - it's R&B you know. But "Dy-Na-Mi-Tee", "It Takes More" and "Krazy Krush" are all good.
GIVE IT TO ME NOW: the Horsepower Productions album.

For older stuff, there is a new comp called The Way it Was with Gabrielle (sp?), Alabama Blues, etc... Amazon uk have is for 8.99 i think
Tim, do you reckon the horespower productions album will be new tracks or a comp of older stuff?

There's at least *some* new stuff. Considering the way these things tend to work with these mad-prolific underground producers I reckon it'll be almost entirely new (the one track I've heard - "Classic Delux" - was great, sort of like a rough Jamaican take on Farben).
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 22 August 2002 11:42 (twenty-three years ago)
Covers most of the darker stuff discussed on ILM (Horsepower, Oxide+Neutrino, Pay as U Go). Outrageously expensive.

& for the record, "Silk Cuts In Session" is probably one of my favourites to listen to - "Up Middle Finger", "Oi!", "Booo!", "'Course Bruv", remixes of "Flowers", "Young, Fresh, & New", "Gotta Get Through This", etc etc. Turning up quite a bit in the cheap bins now; probably only released in NZ. I also have quite a lot of really cheap compilations whose titles usually involve/invoke Ayia Napa - great stuff.

If you can find these they are a great starting point to get a feel for the whole post millennial garage/grime scene. Nice mixture of 4 to the floor beats and early 2step stuff. Good bit of history.
Next time Im at my mothers house Im going to dig for them in my box of mixtapes. If I can find them I will digitize and post em up.

oh shit. wiley & god's gift are all over the first disc. like over every single track. wiley over dj narrows "saved soul" is just silly. this is just great - my only complaint is no "cum cakes". now why don't i have more interest in grime? i guess it's just not that much fun compared to UKG.

i had a dream last night i found a detroit techno album i'd never heard before! it was called ... ok i forget already what it was called but the cover was a photo of the moonscape with a green filter, and it was a collaboration between dego and ... someone from detroit. also several of the tracks had morgan geist co-production. i really miss finding new detroit techno.

i not so secretly feel that way as strongo about grime. i miss the more fire and pay as u go days really. the way the music sounds today, its a lot more samey musically, and now it sounds a lot more indebted to american hip hop sounds, what with all those synths and everything. yes, it doesnt sound LIKE american hip hop exactly, but you can still hear it. i like those old garagey sounds!
