In a Nutshell

When the reviews say "...this compilation represents the coming together of everything that has been learnt about drumming in the last thirty years - taut performances, impeccable recordings, skilful tuning and above all, the value of the groove...I can recommend this CD wholeheartedly...If these funky drums are from hell, the Devil still seems to have all the best music." - what can you add?

Top UK drummer Neil Conti won many fans with this superbly produced CD, expertly produced by Daniel Lazerus. The playing is very much 'on the money' and the creative recording and production take this CD into a realm no one's been able to find since. Short loops and longer grooves are featured and the CD is divided into 6 distinct section too - Hard Funk, Mellow Antique, Natural Room, Dry Studio, The Basement Tapes and Funky Hi-Hats. The eagerly awaited sequel is expected in 2001 but there's no better time to add the REX version of this classic CD to your collection!
