New Motion Of Drum And Bass Chapter 5 & 6: A Wild Ride Through Sonic Chaos
Alright, let’s talk about New Motion Of Drum And Bass Chapter 5 & 6. Released back in 2005 under Total Advance Music and KDK Records (shoutout to Russia for this gem), it’s one of those albums that just slaps. Like, hard. It’s not trying to be perfect or polished—it’s raw, emotional, and messy in all the right ways. If you’re into Drum n Bass with a heavy dose of electronic vibes, this is your jam.
Now, there are 22 tracks on here, which feels like way too much at first glance. But honestly? The variety keeps things fresh. You’ve got bangers like “Sunrise” kicking things off with an almost cinematic vibe—soft pads swelling into breakbeats that feel like they’re pulling you outta bed by the soul. Then you’ve got something darker like “Oneiroid Psychosis,” which hits different. That bassline rumbles through your chest like thunder, while the eerie synths swirl around your head. I swear every time I hear it, I get goosebumps. It’s haunting but addictive, like staring at a car crash you can’t look away from.
And yeah, some tracks blend together after a while—I mean, come on, 22 songs is ambitious—but then you stumble upon gems like “Indigo.” It’s smooth as hell, riding this liquid groove that makes you wanna close your eyes and drift off somewhere far away. Or “Warm Pole,” which flips the script entirely with its chill-out energy. Feels like someone wrapped a blanket around your ears. Weird image, I know, but trust me, it works.
What sticks with me most about this album isn’t just the music itself—it’s how unpredictable it feels. One moment you’re vibing to dreamy soundscapes, the next you’re getting punched in the face with industrial beats. Tracks like “S.W.A.T.” hit so aggressively they almost feel outta place, but somehow it all ties together. Maybe that’s the charm of it. This isn’t some calculated chart-topper; it’s real artists experimenting and letting loose.
Honestly, listening to this album feels like flipping through old photos. Some moments make you smile, others leave you thinking, “What was I even doing back then?” But each track carries this weird nostalgia for a time when Drum n Bass wasn’t so formulaic.
Here’s the kicker though—why did no one ever tell me about the remix of “Graal”? That Implex version is straight fire. Like, if aliens landed tomorrow and asked us to explain human music, I’d hand them this track without hesitation. And maybe a sandwich. Because who knows what aliens eat?
So yeah, New Motion Of Drum And Bass Chapter 5 & 6 might not change your life, but it’ll definitely remind you why you fell in love with music in the first place. Oh, and fun fact: I once played “Rain Comes” during a power outage using my phone speaker, and it still sounded epic. True story.
