    This is a compilation of ragga jungle that sets the record straight with a good overview of the scene and a booklet that explains its roots. From the British reggae scene and blues dances through to raves, with guys from labels like British reggae purveyors Fashion and sound systems like Saxon and Unity getting involved in rave and later jungle.

    The British style of Reggae MCing was particularly good for the faster speeds of Jungle. MCs such as Asher Senator and the Ragga Twins, who both feature here, had pioneered a uniquely British style of MCing called Fast Chat in the 80's. Of course, also featured is the inclusion of popular Jamaican MCs - Ninjaman, Poison Chang and Notting Hill Carnival favorites like Barrington Levy all get the jungle treatment. The fantastic Cutty Ranks also features on the classic 'Limb by Limb'.

    This combined with a love of massive bass lines ran together to pioneer some of the best music of the last 15 years, which makes this very fair minded compilation essential!
