Apologies if this is a repost. Did a search and found nothing. He gave this out for free, but downloads are all used up. Thoughts? I personally am not feeling it, I wouldn't play it out, but I'd listen to it at home. If that makes sense.

Its quite boring but not as bad as some of the stuff hes made.

it`s no diary of an afro warrior that`s for sure

its.....ehhh

I actually quite enjoyed it and I went into it thinking I'd hate it so it's a nice surprise. Certainly not to my true love taste but still, he does what he does so much better than all the other rip offs. Not gonna tear down a dance floor but ride around tonight with a group of your friends and have a hopeful perspective. This tune is perfect for that. Big up Benga.

^Exactly. Good music, but not for the dancefloor. We need that stuff, too!

^same guy?

reeeealy not feeling that at all

What happened to Killers About and sounds like that?

also, lol at the irony of the title

Not for me I'm afraid.

It doesn't have that drive in the drums that Benga does that I like. It's also a little cheesy for my tastes.

Whatever though, I'm sure there's a lot of people who'll like it and it's technically not shite or anything.

some of the stuff Benga put out 5 years ago, was like this close to some of the hemlock/hessle/swamp stuff out today

like the percussion in Middle Man, or the keys in Zombie Jig? that stuff's insane, and then to follow that up with Diary is crazy

Benga > a lot of dudes

i wasn't expecting what came after it dropped, was really hoping for something on the smack your bitch up level.. i agree, it's no diary, it's also not a huge one for dancefloors, but one thing outside of his percussion (and 26 basslines had too..) was his more dancey electro synthesis, so i quite enjoyed this one, wouldn't play it out, but i think at this stage we're all so deep into the deeper side/dungeon side that a sound like this maybe isn't as pleasing as it would've been a few years ago?

i am hoping runnin' is going to be on the album, i heard that and was amazed..

lack luster is the term that i would use for this

not for the DF, not for the heads, not for the production crew.... just seem to be mediocre in every aspect

To me it sounds like a track you make when you first learn how to sync a LFO, you don't know how to automate the LFO sync rate so you just leave it at 1/8t and create a track out of that.

This one isn't really for me either... If he has to use the kind of trance-pop'ish sounds he should, in my opinion, just go back to the days of Man on a mission and the instrumental for Youngman - Ho.

The titile should be: benga: I will never make decent music again (even though it was always over hyped and sketchy)

You don't like a single Benga tune?
