Polar - Still Moving

Polar - Still Moving (Certificate 18, cer18 cd013, 2001) (320)

I remember seeing this on the store rack used for like $8.  I quickly demo'd it at the station and immediately bought it.  It is a release that I continually go back to.  For those who liked that Partisan comp I posted a few weeks ago, this is way up your alley.  Drum n bass, done right.  But not strictly dnb.  I'd really recommend hearing it once.  The guy's production of beats and sounds are very good.

Good discogs review:

On his second album, STILL MOVING, Polar is still chill, but this time moves into sci-fi territory. The strange tones and disembodied voices on “Backlight” sound like a haunted space station, especially with that Vincent Price chuckle in there. The heavy drag of “Ill-Formed” sound similarly futuristic. But there are a few moments of warmth that seep through: the harmonic tones and fiddle of “Inside the Plot,” for instance, or the music box tinkling of “White Walls,” even as a freaky snippet from “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” bridges it and its companion track, “The White Chambers.” The title track certainly does keep things moving at a quick clip, and “Red Triangles” maintains the melodic tip. There are less exciting moments too, like the cliché drug-related samples on “Nascent Dream,” but the double dark dose of “Nightwatch” and “5AM” pull things through at the end. Still moving isn’t quite right, since Polar hasn’t stopped.
