The best and most interesting jungle or drum'n'bass music has always been the kind that draws deepest on the music's reggae roots; the juxtaposition of languid, smoky basslines and frenetic double-speed breakbeats has always packed a special wallop, more so than the chillier, all-digital variety. The two volumes in the Greensleeves label's two-disc series offers a case in point. Although it would have been nice to have some roots reggae artists scattered in among the rockstone deejays and loverman dancehall crooners, and although most of the tracks on this first volume run far too long (about five minutes, on average), this collection does a good job of presenting the state of the art in ragamuffin junglism. And have never sounded more confident and powerful than they do in this jungle setting of 'Gal Wine' (mixed by Ridley Don), and there are exceptionally fine remixes of 's classic 'No No No' and 's 'Under Mi Sensi,' as well.

For jungle connoisseurs, DJ Crystl is the equivalent of one of art's Old Masters at work and, like many of art’s biggest talents, he’s not received the widespread recognition his undeniable talent deserves. 'Meditation' is, in our opinion, his finest moment, combining swirling, hypnotic atmospherics, blisteringly brilliant 'Amen' drum edits and bassbin-blowing bass. While a lot of jungle producers were keen to exploit the commercial potential that came with a ragga-infused sound, Crystl (along with the likes of Photek and Source Direct) helped furrow a different path, taking the genre's production to new levels of excellence along the way.
