Product Description

From Amazon.com

For his debut album on Talkin' Loud/Polygram, Bristol, England's Roni Size keeps with the label's tradition of releasing grandiose, song-oriented dance albums. Size teams up with DJs Krust, Die, and Suv; MC Dynamite; and vocalist Onalee to weld the rough-and-ready sounds of British drum & bass to the soul vibes of their hometown. On New Forms, the jazz concepts laid out on his earlier singles are expanded into song form, with live instrumentation and full vocals. The album never fails to be interesting; there's serious musical credibility underlying every track, but New Forms, with its straightforward pop sensibilities, is clearly aimed at the listener. Fans of the Bristol sound will appreciate the "Watching Windows" and "Share the Fall" singles, whose subtle melancholy blends seamlessly with Size's trademark drum assaults. Despite its length (23 tracks spanning 140 minutes), New Forms remains perfectly balanced and eminently listenable. --Matthew Corwine

Un Essentiel amazon.fr

Lorsqu'en 1997, Roni Size signe avec succès ce livre d'or de la jungle, il fait surtout entrer l'underground anglais dans le grand concert mondial. Depuis le début des années 90, nombreux sont ceux qui, dans les faubourgs du grand Londres, expérimentent ce nouveau produit de synthèse à grands coups de breakbeats hérités du funk mais aucun n'a encore eu la reconnaissance publique. C'est chose faite avec ces New Forms qui seront tout autant saluées par la critique unanime, de New York à Paris. Au programme de cette sélection de maxis : des drum machines et des infrabasses, des BPM à toute allure, des invités bien inspirés (la rappeuse Bahamadia, le duo trip-pop Everything But The Girl...) et Roni Size (autour duquel s'agite le collectif baptisé Reprazent), en maître de cérémonies de cette funky people party survitaminée. Entrez dans la transe de ce jeu de multipistes. --Jacques Denis

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenges Goldie for the Crown, Nov 16 2003
This review is from: New Forms Featuring Roni Size (Audio CD)
Roni Size stakes a claim for being the top name in drum&bass with this Mercury Music Prize winning effort, also by chance a double CD set like the aforementioned's "Timeless". The sound is a different end of the genre though, utilising live instrumentation more, particularly the live bass, with the seminal "Brown Paper Bag" a good example.

3.0 out of 5 stars Your okay d n b album., Jun 16 2003

10ma (Terre Haute, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Forms Featuring Roni Size (Audio CD)
I picked this up yesterday while browsing through a music store after work. It was a debate between this, Clinic, or Dieselboy and another CD which i decided I was getting - Unkle. So i ended up getting this and Unkle. I listened to the first CD last night, and the only way I can possibly put it is that it's an 'okay' CD. I've listened to half of disc two today, and I cant say it's really changed my view on it. The drum n bass is okay, very few artists can really make inventive drum n bass these days, Panacea and the Darchives maybe being a couple. I actually picked up New Forms, because I couldn't find the newer Reprazent one. What I mainly dont like about this double disced CD is that there aren't as many vocal tracks as there are in In The Mode.
Without something to help alleviate the tediousness of a genre like d n b, even the most hailed artists can become quite mediocre at their best. The tracks simply get boring when they hit the 2 minute mark since a lot of them lack variation. At the end of it all, it leaves you with nothing new, nothing extremely danceable if you dont include jumping around as dancing, and nothing really innovative. It's okay, but no where as inventive as Amon Tobin or the like. I wish I could give this a 2.5 just to show the epitome of an average CD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow, what a disappointment., April 9 2004
This review is from: New Forms Featuring Roni Size (Audio CD)
Ok, I've only heard a few songs from this Dj, so I finally decided to check out one of his CDs and see if he's as good as his hype. This CD does nothing but reminds of why I should of kept my $20. Railing is the only thing worth listening to. Other than that, just walk past this album and look for something better.
