Funky!.......2005-04-09

WOW! This album is FUNKY! Ninja Tune is a pioneer for various trip-hop artists, and this compilation is a great introduction to the wide range of sounds produced by this company. Some of these tracks are quite slow and jazzy, while some of them exhibit some excellent DnB specimens. Yet others just give you that great, slow, rolling, fat funk! All of them show off out-of-this-world production values. Expect to hear all sorts of sounds, samples, scratches.

Some tracks I recommend are:

"Shakatakadoodub" has a relentless beat that drives the energy forward. Not as funky as the other tracks, but certainly worth a listen.
"Junkies Bad Trip" is funky. Period. Guitar, brass, bass, drums. What more do you need, really?
"London Mind State" is mellow, and chill. Smooth.
"Spoonful Of Slow" is another deeply chill track. Has this slow, dragging beat. The chords are just so sexy.
"Spiral" is a more abrasive breakbeat track. Very energetic.
"Scratchy Noise" is so funky, with a beat so strong, and a bassline so groovy, the track will make you smile because it just sounds so damn good!
"Turn Me Loose" is a moderately-paced breakbeat track, yet the sound is just so chill and mellow.
"Scratch Yer Hed" ventures into some abrasive and loud DnB territory. The rhythm is complex, and it's sort of hard to follow, but in the middle, it does break into a nice, slow funky stretch.

If you like Ninja Tune, you will no doubt love this album. If you like trip-hop or even hip-hop, you will appreciate the album's repect for the funkiest sounds. If you like breakbeat in general, you'll find it all here. Don't like hip-hop? Well, there's stuff in here for those of you who like jazz. Get this album! It gives you two awesome disks of funky stuff for the price of one!

STILL one of the best Ninja's yet.......2000-08-04

even though this album is a few years old now, I rate it as one of the best Ninja Tune compilations to date (along with 'Funkjazztical Tricknology'). 'The Joy of Dex' is a double CD, the first has some of the wickedest and deepest beats, and some awesome bass, the 2nd has some fast jungle-style beats, but still with the melow overtones that most of the Ninja artists have, DJ Food does the majority ofd tracks on Disc2.. as usual it has a bit from most in the Ninja crew; Dj Food, The Herbaliser, Cold Cut, 2 Player, Dj Vadim and many more.. if you like the sound of Ninja, THIS IS A MUST! Still one of my all-time favourites after all these years..
