There should be more albums being made...if every producer was making choons just so they could get mixed in a DJ set then that would be dry.

Memories Of The Future is up there with my favourite albums of any genre. I think it should be every Producer's ambition to complete an Album...I dont really view Memories Of The Future as a bunch of songs on a CD, to me its its one piece of music. This is why albums are great and especially with Dubstep as an album gives artists scope to explore a much wider spectrum as opposed to a 12".

I agree. The album is a format worth saving - more than just a collection of tunes, always an entity in itself.

I don't buy it when people say no-one listens to albums start to finish any more... I do regularly.

nah 3-tracker 12" release if I'm not mistaken. I guess it might be on the LP too??

in a slightly different form perhaps

Have you heard the Dizzee 'version' of Night. It turns out really good IMO.

I love Benga's work and it's evolution!

I will check all the mixes mentionned at the beginning of this thread but I must admit I'd love to find edited clips in threads when someone is talking about a track.

It will if it's actually put together as a proper artist album instead of just a collection of the artist's tunes on CD.

Not heard any new Benga material for a while now, so looking forward to this. Excellent title, too.

yep the dizzee vocal of night will probably take over the world

Worked for me. Not bad, but not as good as I was hoping, seeing as Dizzee is one of my fave MCs and 'Night' is just a beast of a tune. Maybe it'll grow on me

Dizzee's vocal the version on the album then?

Cheeky. I'll have to buy Tempa 030 too now.

More chance of the album getting reviewed in The Guardian, etc. now. What's with Tempa's EMI connection? Is it Benga and Skream that have some kind of deal with them?

i would imagine the album will be fully serviced to the mainstream press. going for the jugular.
