Details Lead Performance: Krust; Genre: Electronic

On his solo debut, this legendary drum-and-bass mixmaster (and member of Roni Size's Reprazent posse) concocts a beat-heavy brew that'll please purists and open up mainstream ears. His ominous orchestral dissonance and inventive jazz grooves collide with melancholy diva vocals and spoken-word poetics, creating a danceable sonic language. B+
