Earth Ritual: A Journey Into Drum `n’ Bass

Various Artists

Hypnotic

Listen up, Earthling! If you don’t already know, drum n' bass is probably the hottest thing going today. To experience a faction of this universal phenomenon, try plugging into _Earth Ritual_. In doing so, you could turn your whole existence into something meaningful. The hypnotic droning of drum n’ bass is exemplified best by 808 State, System 7, Art of Noise, Surface 10, and Bill Laswell with DXT plus a host of others. Not only can you break on through with Puff, but you might as well flick that classic rock booger off the tip of your nose into perpetual motion. That’s where you’ll find Jellyman with something for your mind! You just might want to take it! Hypnotic Recordings, 13428 Maxella Avenue, Suite 251, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292; hypnotic@tunanet.com
