Classic DnB tune on official 12" reissue from Metalheadz. Adam F's "Metropolis(1)" shook up the drum and bass world back in '96 with its dark sci-fi synths and stabs, hard rolling drums, and mean, blurpy, subterranean bass blazing the trail for many more dark-style tracks to come. I can still see kids losing their shit and sticking their faces in the bass bins. One of the best of the era (even minimal man jocks this tune) - soooo wicked! On the flipside Adam F proves he is a versatile producer with the chilled-out, ambient breaks style of "Mother Earth(2)." The soothing vibe is the perfect antidote for a hard night of partying (you know... that point of the party when the sun is rising and the drugs are wearing off).
