## What 2 lists say

### No. 3 in [Drum and Bass](https://waxonia.com/genre/drum-and-bass/)

The Foul Play remix is the blueprint: rolling Amen edits, a piano hook with real melancholy, and the discovery that breakbeat could be beautiful rather than only violent.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

Jungle's prettiest record and its most technically alarming, at the same time. The breaks are chopped past the point of sense and the piano does not care.

moves, not musical form. Anything we were not confident enough to state is omitted
rather than hedged.
