it's confusing because to most people Grime means MC's shouting in thick hackney accents, while this is industrialized dubstep robot-zombies from Croydon stepping up to a first collection of instrumental breakbeats somewhere between garage, hiphop, drum'n'bass, electro, and 2-step. dark and menacing, brutal and ominous, if you like this stuff check DJ Hatcha's Dubstep Allstars Vol. 1 and 2 on Tempa records.

This is not grime, Nov 16 2005

This album, as well as Grime 2, are very excellant. This is not grime music, however. This music is called dubstep, and though the two genres overlap a bit, they are not the same thing. All of the songs are instrumentals. No MCs here. If you like grime though, check this out. It might spark a new obsession.

'hackney accents', Feb 25 2006

the reviewer from bejing maybe interested to know that the correct generic name for a london accent is not a 'hackney' accent, but a 'cockney' accent - he or she (I didn't check) may also be interested ( though I very much doubt it ) that croydon is a hellhole located in the suburban sprawl around london - sone 20+ miles from its centre.
thankyou - and may I just add that I suspect that he (let's face it women don't waste time writing this crap) has got a tiny hampton and a receeding barnet.
