Big Bud – Infinity + Infinity

what an album, i've no problem putting this on and listening through

I swear to God this album has the ability to heal your soul. Most of the time, the deliberate use of repetition or minimalistic approach becomes quickly annoying, but certainly not in that case. Just infinite loops of gorgeous strings, keyboards, beats and other sounds. The art cover pictures the atmosphere excellently, although the tracklist also works in a lounge atmosphere such as in a coffee house.
One of the very, very few CDs that I don't hesitate to rotate again as soon as the last tune is finished. Monumental.

Even if you are not a fan of the two steppy evolution where dnb styles converged (even the artists from the very breaks based in GLR) you cannot deny this is one of the best albums of atmospheric/ambientish dnb: pads coming and going, careful reverbs, very well placed samples (guitar, flutes, random percussion bits) in a very well sequenced mix. It still remains as one of the best non compilation albums on that label (may I say, one of the few properly good ones)

Without doubt one of the best Drum & Bass albums you will ever hear. Pure quality from start to finish. Atmospheric Drum & Bass with a bit of liquid and downtempo thrown in. As with everything on Good Looking Records the production is second to none, crystal clear and pin sharp. This CD was one of my regular plays when I was having my Saturday night 'power nap' before getting ready to go clubbin in the early 2000's. I Also managed to get all the unmixed 12'' versions from the Good Looking website before the whole organization went belly up. A Truly brilliant album, one of the few thats actually better listened to mixed than the tracks individually. Reminds me of a brilliant time in my life around 20 years ago...

I discovered this in 2000, and to this date, it remains timeless with its atmospheric beats and ambient soul... this record has become a part of my life that will always remind me of a beautiful time of healing and self-discovering. "A true masterpiece of an electronic maestro" ... thank you for light and music, may this rhythm shine on forever.....respect*

what an album. magical.

Has anyone ever heard "Ellen's Song" at 45rpm? When I was a DJ and used to play Good Looking music, I bought the album on vinyl long before hearing the CD. I played this song at 45rpm. For me, "Ellen Song" will always be a beautiful drum & bass at that speed! :D

One of the most beautiful cover-arts ever made in my opinion, and it fits so well with the music. The music is very "dark blue", if you know what I mean. It's deep and hypnotic like nothing else.
An astonashing debut by Big Bud, the best d'n'b-producer out there together with LTJ, Future Engineers and PFM...

Smooth and atmospheric drum ‘n’ bass from one of the masters, Big Bud -- so of course it’s on Good Looking Records. <I>Infinity + Infinity</I> has the tracks segue into one another, so they’re not really mixed, per se, but they do deliver a journey. The beats are smooth and don’t grate on the ears, and the whole album es by with the freshness of a cool autumn breeze. Towards the end, with “Ellen’s Song” and “Stone Groove,” the BPMs drop to a downtempo level, but the production doesn’t lag one bit. For fans of the smooth groove, this is the album for you.

This CD is full of gorgeous drum n' bass, smoothly flowing from one to the next, with a whole variety of inner-styles, from the more sublime and chilled to in-yer-face full-on beats. Give it a try.
