Shot Down on Safari

Amazon.com
Bad Company (Michael Wojcicki, Darren White, Jason Maldini and Dan Stein) have managed to set the jungle scene ablaze with a consistent barrage of drum & bass tunes. They have achieved digital domination of the genre's dance floors by merging bellicose basslines with sounds of the apocalypse and a production sheen that's so polished you can see your face in it. Shot Down on Safari shows a more diverse side to the crew. Tracks such as "Dogsploitation" (a splicing of Swift's "Blaxploitation" and their own "Dogs on the Moon"), "The Hornet," and "Snow Cat," show that the quartet are still prone to the odd hard-as-nails headbanger, but there is much more besides. The opening track "Mo' Fire" (featuring vocals from $pider and Navigator) is a pretty nostalgic roller, boosted by potent ragga basslines and adrenalin-fuelled percussion. There are guitar licks and soulful vocals on "Wednesday" and even a little samba on "Dr Schevago." BC have never sounded so versatile, and they are all the better for it. --Paul Sullivan

Neat........2006-09-04

Pretty solid. Mixed CD is cool, but sounds like garbage--I could have a bad copy or something.

Only 1 thing keeping it from 5 stars.......2005-04-17

I do not need to get into the brilliance and the unmatched power and production that is Bad Company. If you don't know this, then you are not a true D&B fan. Each track on CD 1 is as rough and rude as anything else out there. The only thing that holds this CD
set back is disc #2. It obviously is not the tracks--Breathe (w/my girl [in my Junglist Dreams] Sage on the vocals [w/ the S.F. Phunkatech Cru--which everyone who reads this should check, along w/ Soundmurderer & SK1, all of whom are the some of the best stateside D&B producers goin']-by the way- I miss u Roxanne {also Phunkatech} since u left FTL.) and Space Walk and The Nine--which whatever WANKER mixed this only let drop for about 30 seconds--(it is one of my all time favorite tracks, period) and just about all of the others tracks
are unmatched--the problems are the mixing and more importantly the sound quality of the recording. The entire disc sounds muffled-which makes me crazy because, as I said before, these are some of my all time favorites. If you have a problem w/ the sound quality, be a man (or beautiful Jungle Bunnies, like Sage and Roxanne [fellas {and ladies who care}, these 2 are extremely gorgeous, more-so than Rap and Reid Speed, for their music & their beauty]) and seek out each of these trax on wax! The previous few sentences w/ all the ([{,'s in 'em are what you call a massive stream of consciousness tangent (or a demented train wreck of thought--whatever you want to call it) that have absolutely nothing to do w/ this review, so I apologize. Anyway, the bottom line is this is Bad Company and that really is all that needs to be said.
