Ranked No. 3 in 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
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.

Against Drum and Bass
Drum and Bass usually drops 16% in; this one waits until 56%.
12 sections here; 9 is typical.
Drawn from the 13 records on our Drum and Bass list we have measured. The line over the energy curve above is that median.
Measured from the YouTube master on . Section labels describe how the energy of the recording moves, not its musical form — a machine can see loudness climb and jump, it cannot hear a chorus arrive. Anything we were not confident enough to state is left out rather than shown with a caveat.
