I advise everyone to get this album, either this or start listening to Spor, Ewun, Or Evol Intent, now that's some crazzzzy genius work of art. I can expect that from one of his older albums like this one though. Good cd, Just not as good as Dungeonmasters Guide or System Upgrade. Dieselboy Just couldnt seem to keep his wild dark flow on this cd as he did compared to Dungeonmasters Guide, now that cd was Genius.
as well. A "MUST HAVE" whether you REALLY like DnB or are just gonna buy one or two CD's in the Drum and Bass genre. Disk 1 is in my CD Player/MP3 player often and I've owned it for multiple years. Disk 2 I rarely listen to, but is far from bad. On disk 1, Track 2 "The Messiah" is all it takes to make your hair stand up. The other tracks on disk 1 are bad [.].
Nonetheless it is wonderful, can put you in a trance, is fun to dance to, and good to sleep to. I warn you this album however can feel a little repetative. When I first heard Dieselboy I wanted to buy the "Dungeon Masters Guide" so I highly recommend that one, HOWEVER "the 6th session" is fantastic. Simply put, DJ Dieselboy is awesome.
If you can get me a better drum and bass cd, please tell me. This whole CD tells a story, thats what any tech albums should do. Dieselboy is gold, everything he touches is awesome.
This is Dieselboy's transitional album because it shows him moving away from his patented techstep to a darker drum and bass sound, although he doesn't abandon the techstep elements completely. He's approached this technical wizardry on occasion, but has never been able to match it. But the first third and last third of Disc 1 is varied and well-constructed. Disc 1 can't approach the consistency of Disc 2 since it is twice as long and the repetitious nature of Disc 1's middle part is a bit much, but all-in-all, a winner from Dieselboy. The songs on Disc 2 have structure with a beginning, middle, and end, proving that Dieselboy is more than just a mere mixer. Dieselboy's 6ixth Session holds two distinctions: it contains Dieselboy's best opening and his best disc.
Disc 1 is amusing, although the middle of it is as repetitive as Dieselboy has ever been. In the realm of drum-and-bass, only Roni Size's second disc of New Forms tops Disc 2 of 6ixth Session. "Initialize" is exactly that: a slow buildup of bits and pieces of electronica, deep and brooding, as if a robot has just been built and now it's getting ready to initialize and wreak havoc. Disc 2 is perfect; every drum and every bass is just so flawlessly executed and impeccably blended, you'd think that Dieselboy is a genius. B+ After "Initialize", the robot comes to life.
But it's Disc 2 that remains Dieselboy's finest hour.
