i think i found this one through discogs or google but i was looking to see which one was the last drum & bass production that jesper dahlbäck (here in his old lenk moniker) did. he'd quite often do them with fellow swedish producer seba who he worked with on various projects, both house&techno and jungle.
this one grabbed me instantly with it's crisp rolling breaks, sharp drum programming and heavy bassline but also the vocal by robert manos. his presence on tracks changes the whole thing and while this record could easily do without his vocal, it lights up quite nicely. he does his usual changing from wailing harmonies to singtalking but in the fast tempo.
manos' tells a story about a struggle in the city and life in general and he comes of both random and coherent, but not in that karl hyde style even though it reminds me much of it.
