I love pendulum

[JLR]

I've recently been introduced to these by pocket, and I can't get enough. I'm loving the tracks with really heavy bass in general mind, and I'm pretty much after more of the same.

Recommendations?

[Vimster]

Bass, hmm, I always love the bass on TC and Dillinja tracks, it's heavy but fun.

You should try heading over to DogzOnAcid and checking stuff out there. They sell dnb MP3s too and you can stream tracks on there just to get a listen.

Aphrodite, definately

That's my friend's website - in fact Pendulum lived in his flat for a while but I think they kind of fell out... something about not putting their subsequent album to Hold Your Colour on his label or something.

What are Pendulum up to now? I'm getting old and out of touch. Any good releases since Hold Your Colour and that immense voodoo people remix?

Newest stuff i've seen by them is a re-released Hold Your Colour with a few bonus tracks, bit disappointing really. Might check out Aphrodite though.

Doesn't that site have something to do with Fresh?

That's the chappie - old school friend. See less of him now he's some kind of hotshot.

[Vimster]

Yeah well he's pretty big in dnb circles now, something of a moving and shaker by all accounts.

[Butane Bob]

They're pretty overrated. Check out stuff on RAM records or DJ Bailey's mix sets for some decent stuff.

[cassidy]

Loving how Spacedinvader friend happens to be DJ Fresh, that pretty cool.

Like Pendulum try some Concord Dawn. Their even better

Seba and Paradox are also amazing.

[ukdazs]

NOISIA.

Seriously.

[Liquid Myth]

Another shout for Dillinja, which is about as far as my DnB knowledge goes.

[ukdazs]

Check out NOISIA's Myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/denoisia

Lots of stuff to listen to there, including links to free downloads of older mixes. I have no idea why they decided to remix Robbie Williams, but as I love Noisia and my other half loves Robbie, it's an oddly apt mashup.

[ukdazs]

Oh yeah, Andy C's Nightlife compilations are really strong and have most of the artists mentioned so far on them. Try one of them and see what floats your boat.

[idiwa]

I keep listening to ATM and CounterSrike. Pendulum sound a bit meh to me... but each to his own

Really cool stuff, esp Yellow Brick. cheers.

[errollw]

Make sure you've got all their good stuff first, like distress signal, axel grinder and blood sugar. those arent on their album and are absolutely siiiiiik tinggzz

[ukdazs]

Really cool stuff, esp Yellow Brick. cheers.

It's awesome, isn't it. Lasers are brilliant did me a mix cd with a load of DnB mixes on it, of which the Noisia one was just incredible.

[meatbin]

Pendulum wise make sure you know the tunes Machochist and The Vault - possibly their best.

The guy that has stuck out for me recently is TC - all his recent tunes are wicked. Try Rockstar, Flatline, Deep, Jump - tunes you can't not like.

Other than that try artists - Chase and Status, Bassline Smith, Nosia as mentioned, Fresh, G-Dub, Taxman.

[rundll]

NOISIA.

Seriously.

N O I S I A with a capital 'worp'

[Pmccee]

Loving the Noisia, especially the Hadouken 'liquid lives' remix.

Cant find Pendulum's 'Machochist' so any upload would be appreciated

[Pmccee]

Have also acquired, 'Raar' bass line to freak oot yer maw!

[splode]

The Hospital compilations are pretty good as well. Particularly Cyantific's mixes. The Hospitalised box-set can be picked up pretty cheaply.

Yes this is fantastic - around 9 squid on Amazon. High Contrast's Fabric Live CD is spectacular.

[Benji]

Pendulum.... eek.

Well ... I suggest you get Still Grey, Another Planet, Distress Signal.

The rest of it in my eyes is commercial cheesy dnb.

I'm not being a snob, just saying this as a Drum & Bass DJ.

Alot of good stuff is coming from the likes of Noisia, Chase & Status, Subfocus.

The TC stuff is a bit hit and miss in my eyes. If you like your jump up i suggest Hazard, G Dub, Taxman, Modified Motion, TC.

''By the power of...''

What a tune - keeps it simple but there is something quite addictive about it. Track down Chase & Status 'Druids' for a simular addictive treat.

The fact TC is fun and cheesy is a good thing. Personally I like the harder end with stuff like Technical Itch, Dylan, Current Value - probably a bit too noisy for most. I agree that Pendulum have got rather commercial of late, doesn't do it for me.

Agree with this - if all DNB put out was meant to be considered as serious chinstrokers music, we'd have clubs full of nobs, and boring generic tunes.

[Don Rosco]

There's nothing wrong with cheesy, but I draw the line long before the stultifying idiocy of 90% of DnB in 2007. Pendulum, TC and the like are nothing but braindead clunkers. Jungle could be cheesy and serious chinstroking business in the course of the same tune. Now it's mostly lockstep that owes more to Rock and Trance than Jungle. Pendulum are basically a rock band, and a pretty bad one at that. As for the liquid stuff, it mostly sounds like smug, big-room house from the 90s. Basically, it can nearly all fuck off.

That's not to say there's not some good stuff being made. Here's a free album that's better than all that maximised, linear crap:

Naphta - Grande Illusions

More good stuff here at Bassbin, and Subvert Central.

Sorry for being so negative, but this is a sore point for me, and i've always thought you should be frank about music. No offence intended!

I saw Pendulum at Bestival 2006, and they were fucking rubbish. It was the most monotonous drum 'n bass set I've ever heard, it was just the same beat for an hour. Plus, it was rammed with sweaty sixteen year old pikeys off their tits on speed. Shite.
