never got goldie as a producer or mixer, despite having seen him a few times; bukem I used to like but a bit noodly and on the quiet side

I really dug Timeless
But I'm considerably younger than you. He really did help shift that scene from hardcore originating jungle toward more imaginative and intricate Drum n Bass. Having said that, he got Rob Playford to do all the actual studio work.

Bukem can be noodly, but that's what he does. If you want badass stuff then it's Hype and Roni Size and that.

Interesting that some of the more 'musical' producers like Roni Size, Peshay and Photek were much more hard edged as DJs.

Totally different discipline though, innit?

Dunno hype and the ganja kru somewhat childlike 14 yr old kids in puffa jackets stuff blazin blunts. That said Zinc has stood the test of time.
Roni Size again a bit gay.

Also five years isn't really that considerable. Goldie might have helped bridge the gap to drum and bass but he's shit. Unlike Omni Trio who did it far better than him.

Five years is a considerable gap between the musical tastes of a 16 year old who gets in to that stuff via Goldie
And a 21 year old who's already well into Moving Shadow and Reinforced.
