Was introduced to LTJ Bukem by a friend who played me this track and it sparked my love for D&B way back in the late 90s - listening to this now is tinged with sadness as that friend died unexpectedly this year to a brain haemorrhage but I am thankful that I knew him at all and that he helped widen my taste in music. RIP Mike, miss you more than you know mate.
@@Misanthrope11 have some respect will ya ?! He is expressing his feelings about what this masterpiece means to him ... Sincerely Hope it dont happen to you or one of your friends or family, you shouldn't be listening to this music anyway , it has no time for people like you .. this music is about peace , love and unity
Music like this brings us all together. As soon as we press play on certain tracks it takes us straight back, straight back to when we were young and carefree. The 90s golden era is unrepeatable. Timeless timeless music
'the horizon leans forward...' can't help feeling it also takes us forward, to the place where with the help of music like this and people togetherness, the future leans in... the break out of DnB/Jungle, the people that come together with it... the spaces they find and create...something that gets dreamed into being and continues to exist, the feeling we access with tunes like these and the next steps they hint at...
Lmfao. I remember when all the vinyl was being sold off en masse. There was a stall in our local indoor market selling off stuff at silly prices. D and B, Hardcore, Dub, Revives, Rare Groove, Funk. Basically it was a gold mine. He didn't have a clue what he was selling. Me and my mate spent hundreds. Did pretty well!
Did you also gave that guy the adres of a good mental hospital.ha,ha. I once was searching for a record from Steve Mason and Pete and it was hard to find in the U.K and in Holland.On a day me and my mate went to Cologne (Germany) and there was a two floor record store with a basement.We came in that basement and there were standing more than 40 !! the same records from Steve Mason and Pete,the one we were searching after for a long time. We smoked some weed before and we were really thinking that we were hallucinating !! After drinking a few beers we went back and we discovered that it was REAL !! We laughed all day so I know how you must have felt. Those are amazing experiences in life !! Cheers.
Best DNB mixes I still see that guy who owned that stall around from time to time. He walks around in a vest in the middle of winter. That tells a story! Mad as a box of frogs! Glad to hear you found what you wanted! Good that those things still bring smiles to our faces. Hold onto those crates of records mate! I know I will!
My Great Friend From Hiroshima, Kashu Suzuki gifted me LTJ Bukkems double Album Logical Progression A B for my birthday back 1998. I Turned 21. I lived in Philly. Attended Community college and later took my first Job at an Architecture Design Firm !!! Still Rocking 😉
This and Adam F Circles are my 2 favorite dnb tracks of all time, literally changed the range of sound experience for me. If I could only describe to someone how everyone dancing to sounds like this as the sun came up, at some illegal rave that was just filled with people there for the music... not to be seen, before social media, just being in the moment, it was the most beautiful time of life.
Big it up. Drop it down and get lost in the soundscapes. Saw LTJ a few times. Went to the Brunel Rooms which was a temple for Drum and bass and it was just down the road. Friday nights top floor. Had a great scene. Adam F, Roni Size, Fabio, Grooverider, Bukem, Hype, Rap and on and on. Thanks
I just want to tear the streets up in my Type R to this song. Love the LTJ Bukem, Peshay, Nookie, 4 Hero, Photek, Shogun, Mystic Moods, Bliss N Tumble, Grooverider, DJ Rap, Doc Scott, Icons, Wax Doctor and everyone else making this Intelligent Jungle / Intelligent DnB style in the 90s. It makes me think fast but is relaxing and chill at the same time. Makes me feel like I'm in a Ridge Racer/ Gran Turismo game.
My parents used to play a chill out CD during car journeys when I was little in the early 2000’s, this track was on it and was my favourite. I would fall asleep peacefully to this whilst staring out the window at the horizon with the sun setting when driving back home.
Was probably the same CD that I first heard this. It’s called “The chillout Album: The essential late night mix”. It’s got a blue cover with a lava lamp on it. Only a couple of D&B tunes on there but the rest is also really good
Years ago I was on holiday in Thailand & just by chance I saw a flyer that LTJ Bukem was playing that night. ( one off stopover gig ) he was wicked, but you all knew that right !
An absolutely amazing experience into the Bukem prospective of DnB music... I have goosebumps everytime I hear the name of this guy... a genious producer and a talented dj... proud junglist massive !
choooooooon....deepness right here brothers and sisters.....much love, especially during these strange times....stay strong....peace x (54 year old E-x Raver)
Here’s one for you: I first saw Bukem ( as he was originally known - lti came later ) in 1990 at the moon club ( which became Lakota ) in Bristol. I was still in my school uniform…. He played before dj phantasy, and dropped a white label of made in two minutes by bug khan, followed by strings of life: changed my life right there.
Surely this tune changed everything? It gave Goldie the props to do something different to the Ragga bollox going around in 1994 and put intelligent sampling, vocals and soul at the heart of this amazing music - which is still going strong 30 years later
LTJ BUKEM you are The absolute conisiuuer of Drum and bass you are drum and bass what a era back in the 80s and 90s some of the best days of my life! oh my! Bukem you were high frequency all those years ago! So was I I just didn’t know! now I’m a medium and light worker those days were the best! I believe it was your music that helped me reach my high frequency space today I love you brother ❤️
I feel so bad for the kids these days that will never get to experience the clubs in the 90’s and the great music that was made. I’ll never forget it!! Thanks for posting this as well 🎧🔥💪
Dnb is HUGE ATM don't feel bad!! In fact ltj bukem is playing in a club here in Belfast this weekend, alot of the scene is pretty underground with the younger crowd, there is alot of trash music in trash clubs but there are also some amazing ones with the best soundsystems.
Why can't music these days do a proper beautiful bass lines as it was back in the days? Like every track LTJ Bukem touches are instant classics, beautiful and made out of gold. Respect.
Seriously, is someone debating whether this is dnb or not? As Mathew Clarke say's, bukem was dropping this at Dreamscape's, Helter Skelter's and World Dance's in the mid 90's. He's a pioneer for the whole dnb scene!
Tom Ware How can ANYBODY argue whether or not this is DnB LOL? Even if he DID take one of the most iconic chord patterns in the history of DnB straight from a track called Sunflash by Lemon Sol, this is DnB thru & thru, and will always be one of my fave tracks of all time in this genre. Its just beautiful man, I remember the unreleased remix by Paradox (I think) which was great too, it had a more Jungly feel to it.
Tom Ware Can't fully explain just what it was like to first hear Bukem playing tracks like this back in 95. I mean, I did like some other Jungle/Hardcore tracks from about 91 onwards, but I didn't really like the direction it was heading in before this came along and blew everyone's minds, too many 'hoover' samples and too moody, macho sounding for my taste. When his Good Looking/Looking Good label released track after classic track in the mid 90's it felt like he single handedly pioneered a whole new sound and for a good couple of years back then he was definitely one of the, if not the, top DJ's on the planet and I always liked Conrad's MC style as well, he didn't overdo it, just enough to keep the party going without taking focus from the music. Completely reinvigorated the scene in my opinion, thought it had all but died by about 93/4, nights out were getting dodgy, violence and crack rearing their ugly heads and ruining the vibe [plus the authorities were really on top and the little chaps that fuelled the atmosphere had dried up, full of MDA instead, meaning everyone sitting down too fucked to dance]. But the summer of 95 was absolutely fantastic, mostly because Bukem and a few others were spinning this type of stuff and the Dutch labs were back on form as well, best atmosphere in the clubs I'd seen since 88/9, 'cos everyone was just out to dance to tracks like this 'til the lights came back on.
***** I was lucky enough to see Bukem play a free night (yea FREE, BUKEM! LOL!) for some random charity. It was good, a whole world better than the vomit-inducing 'Jump-Up' nights that make up about 80+% of the DnB clubscene these days but by then (this was about 6 years back) all he was playing was commercial, cheesy liquid... I wish I was old enough to have experienced the Jungle & DnB clubscene back in the 90's because these days I find it shit, and a complete waste of money. The music is terrible, pure noise, only enjoyable when you've had about 7 bottles of Stella and you've turned into a complete animal. Sad times man...
Tom Ware ugh I don't get why people always get into the jungle vs d&b arguments. Chances are if you like jungle, you like d&b and vice versa, not to mention people seem to have different definitions of the two genres. Some people say that for a tune to be jungle, it needs dub/reggae samples and other people say that the difference is whether the drums are chopped the fck out or if they're loops. The point is these debates are stupid and we're all listening to the same music anyway, so lets just enjoy it
Who's listening in 1995 a Pre world wide web non super information highway sence & experience on cd , cassette , vinyl records & on pirate radio , hello from the past !!
I used to go to club night called 'Speed' at the Mars club which was in a Soho basement in 1995! I saw Fabio, Kemistry and Storm, and LTJ. There used to be hanging out Goldie, and I think Ray Keith, and Ash etc etc - who knew it would become legend
He was telling us about space vibes mid 90's. He had his Radio show. I remember listening to his shows years and years ago. LTJ is truly way ahead of his time. Someone i always come back to, The God Chord song by Bjorn is another one i always float back to. Man take me back, i need to go back if only just for 5 minutes.
@UCLFUNxtSA1FsHPWtFcSrBIA Brexit was never about preserving anything but the powers and wealth of those who are responsible for running this country into the ground over the past few decades, and them/their mates avoiding a few % taxes on their millions and billions, and they convinced you it was some foreigners that were doing that. Mad that u believe Tories are gonna help you in any way 😂 yeah man, did a good job scrapping council funds so they can't keep things functioning or find a house for someone homeless without being billed £60 a night because they have to put them in someone's B&B, slowly sold off the NHS so your nan can't afford her medication, or someone with mental health issues has to wait MONTHS, getting worse every day for any sort of help because everything's being sold off and gimped... But you come on a d&b tune, a scene that's got influences and players from all over the world, and u tell us that it belongs to only the English. Fuck off
Well done Mr.Ltj Buckem all these years you kept your secret hidden, clearly But for the music that was placed into the air. we didnt care. for one can channel, and not be responsible for the beauty made
There still are enough insane people in the world. I paid more back in the days and won't even sell it for a million. I got enough money to make a living and there are things money can't buy: like this EPIC tune from this GIANT producer/DJ . MASTERPIECE !!!
Aw the nostalgia, remember hanging with the boys, 18 years old skateboarding and smoking pot to this. 37 years old now with family and 2 kids. Man has life changed :)
I remember there was a channel on dstv audio bouquet call electrosphere.i used to stay up all night jamming to this kind of music. That's where I found this guy LTJ BUKEM. Specifically this song as I would wait for it to play on the Playlist 😂😂 those where the good times.
Thank you guys. Alas my original 12" on Good Lookin Records is totally done. 😒 Took it too many parties and overplayed it at the time and beyond. Really turned my head and many others...we now have a revival of 90's house, D@B but all new crew learn from the masters! Respect. ✊✊
Maybe his defining track....I personally love "Demons Theme" the most....but this one...I listened to thousands of times. It was featured on literally every Major DnB compilation of the nineties'. The Breakbeat is iconic and the melodic elements....
This, demons theme, music,but atlantis is my defining track most probably.... Really tough call coz everything ltj from back then is ground breaking stuff 👊👌
getting blessed by this composition for me was an equivalent of getting enriched spiritually by reading 30 quality books in a row. 🧐 I mean Lem-level books. pure magic.
Was introduced to LTJ Bukem by a friend who played me this track and it sparked my love for D&B way back in the late 90s - listening to this now is tinged with sadness as that friend died unexpectedly this year to a brain haemorrhage but I am thankful that I knew him at all and that he helped widen my taste in music.

Man, I agree so much.
I am little bit younger, but this feelings i have when someone say DnB 2011
here we are bro
Unbelievable time for music, especially DnB/Jungle.
Always expect Renegade Snares to come in at the end of this. Always used to mix these two together
LTJ is still ahead of his time now 2024
And how
This is SO true
2024
I'm still listening to this masterpiece aswell ! 🥰
Sofa 😂
I truly feel sorrow for people who go through life never hearing these styles of music. But, grateful I discovered its magic.
Im a Zoomer so i missed out on this music, the youtube algorithm did something right and showed me this tight music
@@ovahlord1451 if you listen to commercial music you should hear more of this, otherwise your braincells will die slowly.
@@shield3174 lol
👏
Been trying my best to spread the word about this stuff since middle school 11 years ago.
So here I am again 3 years later and still get zoned out to this music, this is beautiful music
I was in the middle of an panic attack and this helped to soothe my soul. Awesome music to let yourself go and relax. thank you ltj
In my opinion probably the greatest drum and bass track of all time
I agree. A composer at my local pub helped produce it and he’s v humble about it. Couldn’t believe it when I found it
Absolut ☝🏼

Ltj definitely found that perfect sample and made it his own
RAM Trilogy - mind overload (1999) no1
It's 2022 and this tune is still so fresh like it was released yesterday. :)
DnB probably made the definition for "futureproof"
Still here in 24!
BEST £1 anyone ever, ever spent.
+hypercatjohn HOLY SHIT YEAH! This is the tune they will bury me to.

Took you/us a journey to a higher level
2024 and still no one can top this man. The BEST dnb/jungle artist out there imo 💯
A fair shout
Even the Slipknot kids at highschool were into this.
agreed
Slipknot had some breakbeats in their songs back in the day. True
@@georgebennett715 exactly. it's awesome
In case anyone is wondering, the sample is Maya Angelou reciting parts of her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning".
Goosebumps for 20 years now, every time I play this song....
Head rush
goosebumps never lie....peace x

I met ltj bukem in 1993 what a great meeting
I will always remember picking this up from Blackmarket records in Soho. Ray Keith gave me the nod of approval. Made my day 😊
Yes to me one of the greatest Drum n bass tracks ever that was never commercial
Still listening in January 2021 and will always keep listening!
This is a stepping stone in music history. So glad I was there for it. Massive thank you for the upload
An absolutely amazing experience into the Bukem prospective of DnB music... I have goosebumps everytime I hear the name of this guy... a genious producer and a talented dj... proud junglist massive !
***** I have goosebumps every time I get to this part 01:12...

Reds_C: yeah he can really flick that cross fader between to records better than ratty did.
It's not jungle 😘
@@jasonrowland6063 back when it came out It would have been classed as jungle
One of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard from a composer. This man gets no props. When he deserves lots.....
Luv the sounds of LTJ BUKEM still can listen to all his Choons Timeless 2023 still quality Big up LTJ 🔊🔊👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who needs drugs, this atmospheric naturally separates ones mind from body dangling it to dance and imagine. woooow
You can take this together, thats the reason
my thoughts exactly silver! lol
I think LTJ Bukem needed drugs to make a record this good.
Definitely x
Music gets better with drugs. Period.
My favourite jungle/ drum n bass track heard this first probably around 96 I think ..a thing of beauty ❤
choooooooon....deepness right here brothers and sisters.....much love, especially during these strange times....stay strong....peace x (54 year old E-x Raver)
I hear ya!
Was there all the way from 90 through 2000. Epic , life changing experience that will never be repeated. One love back before when it truly meant it..
Saw him Friday night.
Great in patches.
Hate Traktor though
*life changing experience that will never be rəp 🤭🤭⚠d*
I fell in love with D&B with this track! Thanks LTJ Bukem for existing!
Brilliance
I can't get over how good this is.
Here’s one for you: I first saw Bukem ( as he was originally known - lti came later ) in 1990 at the moon club ( which became Lakota ) in Bristol. I was still in my school uniform…. He played before dj phantasy, and dropped a white label of made in two minutes by bug khan, followed by strings of life: changed my life right there.
Plastic Jam is my favorite tune ever, pulled me in the jungle techno tents n that was me🎣
WOW. Horizons made in 2 minutes and strings of life.. 3 defining and pivotal tracks in the scene for me for sure ❤👊👌
Pure 8am all nighter finisher this one, send everyone off into the sunrise smiling with great memories...Beautiful liquid dnb this.
Surely this tune changed everything? It gave Goldie the props to do something different to the Ragga bollox going around in 1994 and put intelligent sampling, vocals and soul at the heart of this amazing music - which is still going strong 30 years later
LTJ BUKEM you are The absolute conisiuuer of Drum and bass you are drum and bass what a era back in the 80s and 90s some of the best days of my life!

With unity and harmony at the core. And its coming back after years of absence
The Bruce Lee of drum n bass
LTJ BUKEM = this track is timeless classic an it's bout to turn 2023 - 👊.
1st time I’ve heard this in years & got instant goose bumps like back in the day....how I wish I was back there again

Takes me back to golden memories of childhood... Sublime, spiritual, an unmatched work of art

Such positivity. This just lifts my soul and makes me want to move my soles.
A shimmering jewel with a bass drop to die for. Team up with a scooby/ Audi big block. Fabulous. Hooligan dub plate. 👍🔥😍
A very talented guy! Have loved this song for years, thanks for making me have many happy memories with this track :)
LTJ its one of my favourite producers of music
I was obsessed with the album and was beside myself when I got to hear LTJ Bukem play at Finsbury Park festival in the early 90s :)
It's a single baby!
He was telling us about space vibes mid 90's. He had his Radio show. I remember listening to his shows years and years ago. LTJ is truly way ahead of his time. Someone i always come back to, The God Chord song by Bjorn is another one i always float back to. Man take me back, i need to go back if only just for 5 minutes.
Mad to think that a country that produced this track also produced Brexit & Boris Johnson. Swings & roundabouts 🤷♂️
Except Brexit is right..... you want to preserve the Culture that gave you this or not?

@UCLFUNxtSA1FsHPWtFcSrBIA Brexit was never about preserving anything but the powers and wealth of those who are responsible for running this country into the ground over the past few decades, and them/their mates avoiding a few % taxes on their millions and billions, and they convinced you it was some foreigners that were doing that. Mad that u believe Tories are gonna help you in any way 😂 yeah man, did a good job scrapping council funds so they can't keep things functioning or find a house for someone homeless without being billed £60 a night because they have to put them in someone's B&B, slowly sold off the NHS so your nan can't afford her medication, or someone with mental health issues has to wait MONTHS, getting worse every day for any sort of help because everything's being sold off and gimped... But you come on a d&b tune, a scene that's got influences and players from all over the world, and u tell us that it belongs to only the English. Fuck off
LTJ BUKEM ROCKS!!! I am 56 years old I bought this in my 30s its the best album ever
Well done Mr.Ltj Buckem
all these years you kept your secret hidden, clearly
But for the music that was placed into the air. we didnt care.
for one can channel, and not be responsible for the beauty made
APR 2021 and this found its way back to me. What a gift. These 90s/2000s Chillout/Ambient/ Lounge creations are masterpieces.
There still are enough insane people in the world.
I paid more back in the days and won't even sell it for a million.
I got enough money to make a living and there are things money can't buy:
like this EPIC tune from this GIANT producer/DJ .
MASTERPIECE !!!
Best DNB mixes 16.99. Disc cogs
W O R D !
LTJ BUKEM...this brother was in touch with a higher level...and if you had the same spirit, opened the door for Ya!
What an absolute masterpiece oh the nostalgia 💙🕪🎵🎶🎼😉👍
Love it,reminds me so much of Uni days,having a good smoke,&a proper chill with good vibes.🎶😊👌
Love this. Maya Angelou RIP
Aw the nostalgia, remember hanging with the boys, 18 years old skateboarding and smoking pot to this. 37 years old now with family and 2 kids. Man has life changed :)
and I still have a test press, given to me by Danny back in the day...absolute classic...
same here!
holy shit you lucky son of a gun you!
I remember there was a channel on dstv audio bouquet call electrosphere.i used to stay up all night jamming to this kind of music. That's where I found this guy LTJ BUKEM. Specifically this song as I would wait for it to play on the Playlist 😂😂 those where the good times.
A 1 pound sticker on one of the BEST DnB tracks ever made. What a pisstake...
call it luck, i mean imagine seeing a record like this for only a quid....
talk about value for your money........
After all, The most valuable things in life always come free...
LTJ BUKEM is a god, bow down.
... dunno about bow down, but have slept in some dodgy places after nights out, waiting on the trains to run
Thank you guys. Alas my original 12" on Good Lookin Records is totally done. 😒 Took it too many parties and overplayed it at the time and beyond. Really turned my head and many others...we now have a revival of 90's house, D@B but all new crew learn from the masters! Respect. ✊✊
This is one of the dnb tracks of all time
Another stunning slice of drum and bass
Saw Bukem do a jungle set yesterday at Hospitality. I think it was my favourite part of the day.
X6Herbius
Heard it was good.
Being born in '93 I didn't really get to experience the Jungle phase properly, so this was great.
Puts me on a level every time but the fact the cover has it marked up at a quid! Somebody got double result!!!
Sent a request to have this played on BBC Radio 6 music earlier was great to hear it on the radio respect to Mary Anne Hobbs
Maybe his defining track....I personally love "Demons Theme" the most....but this one...I listened to thousands of times. It was featured on literally every Major DnB compilation of the nineties'. The Breakbeat is iconic and the melodic elements....
This, demons theme, music,but atlantis is my defining track most probably.... Really tough call coz everything ltj from back then is ground breaking stuff 👊👌
Awol islington early 90s got up to all sorts BANGING !!
I love you for vinyl! I am 41...
getting blessed by this composition for me was an equivalent of getting enriched spiritually by reading 30 quality books in a row. 🧐 I mean Lem-level books.
pure magic.
I've been listening to this and Cotton Wool (Fila Brazillia mix) by Lamb back to back for about three days now...
