As time goes by whilst Im sitting here waiting for my food to go down, together with hoping to sleep soon as I have an 8 am start tommorow, I thought I might just mention some songs and general music that i'd really like to share with you guys.

First of all we will start with my favourite drum and bass album of all time
Billion Dollar Gravy by London Elektricity
The album, produced by Tony Colman in 2003, incorporated the use of live musicians such as Jungle drummer - one of, or the best in his scene, and Lianne Carroll, a very talented (and unexpected choice) vocalist!

Tony Colman - co manager of Hospital records is partly responsible for the likes of High Contrast (remix daddy master), Danny Byrd (Electro-cut chemist), Nu-Tone, Cyantific, Logistics and only just recently the absolutely fresh and inspirational Netsky together with an even more recent artist called Subwave who has kept me holding my breath after the track 'Stars Get Down'.

Having being recommended the album one night at my stepbro's one morning after a house party in first year of uni craving more music, taking this baby home I had no idea how much an album could really affect me!

The album, comprised of 11 tracks, classified as liquid funk, paints a constant moving picture with smart use of synth sounds and vocals throughout each track.
My favourite being 'Fast Soul Music' is such an energetic, positive vibe track, and I can never pull myself to skip it once it starts playing.
An album I listen to on the frequent when travelling about, it helps me to keep focused and takes my mind off things and just generally lightens me up any time of the day.
The creativity and innovative ideas of Tony Colman have really opened me up to other types of music I never really knew I could like

Post production of this album Tony had a revelation with the idea of taking this to the stage which has been hailed as one of the best drum and bass live act performances of all time.

I would give anything to have seen it, and maybe one day if im lucky enough to catch a reform with all the members, that empty place in my heart that I suspect is because of this, will then be filled =)
