Well after a long absence, the Welsh wizard High Contrast is finally back with a new album on Hospital records known as "The Agony & The Ecstasy". On this album he had the likes of Tiesto, Underworld, Claire Maguire and Selah Corbin.
When I listened to this album I found it very different from his previous works. It did not feel like an drum n bass album. It felt like High Contrast was actually trying to do something completely different. There were less of those soulful samples but more vocals from guest artists. The deep bass lines and hard drums were not present as frequently as before. Some tracks did not even feel like dnb tracks, but more like house music.
The track that really stood out for me was "The Stand" and "Emotional Vampire". I really enjoyed these tracks.
So for hardcore DNB fans this album is more of a let down, but for others it is good.
