Amazon.co.uk Review
Goldie was deservedly the first crossover star to emerge from the jungle/drum & bass underground scene, although credit for this astonishing debut album must also go to his collaborator and engineer, Rob Playford. This music is almost three-dimensional--the soundtrack to some undreamt of, heavenly computer game--and the cavernous dub breaks, rapid-fire rhythms and morphing twists and turns of "Jah The Seventh Seal" and "This Is A Bad" is intoxicating. Its centrepiece, however, is the epic, three-part title track featuring Diane Charlemagne's vocals; its all-enveloping rhythms and shadowy synths take the listener on a palpable musical descent into the darkest horrors of inner city life. Drum & bass was quickly subsumed to become the lingua franca of TV adverts before dropping from fashion, yet Timeless stands the test, genuinely living up to its name. --David Stubbs

Customer Reviews

overrated nonsense
there is a lot of, and I mean A LOT OF truly awful Jungle and Drum & Bass cds out there, most are vomit-worthy the songs are so bad. There is only a few, genuine, quality D&B gems that are worthy of prising money out of my wallet. This is yet another which is a big fat waste of cash.

Yes the opening tracks on both cds are classics, but that does not make up for filling the rest of the album with dog poo, all the other tracks are just complete nonsense. Stupid noises, poor poor songwriting and repeatedly annoying beats. When the title track is a real classic I suppose it makes so called artists think they can stick out an album to cash in on one songs appeal. Just make sure you are not another one of the fools who falls for it and just buy timeless on vinyl or as a single. But then, even timeless gets a bit boring after a couple of plays so why bother. Just look hard in the right places if you want quality D&B albums and save your cash for them.

timeless - a landmark dance/electronic album
simple really - if yr any kind of music lover : be it into drum+bass/dance, electronica or is just simply open minded who likes "deep" or late night electronica : u need this album.

a landmark lp which still shows up the shortcomings of many other so called classic "dance/electronica artists" . its not perfect but tracks such as the full length version of "inner city life" , "you + me" and "sea of tears" are stunning. even now some 10 years on. BUY.

TIMELESS!!!
To be honest, I used to think that Goldie is an overrated artist that got recognision only by a chance of being able to make music in early 90's. Hovever, when I first listened to this album I shut my mouth and was like:"what the?"This is really unique ,deep and lovely. Tracks like State of Mind( I fell in love with this one) or Sea of Tears( excellent) are just a few tracks of worth mentioning. Drum and Bass should sound like this today, there's too much poor music around these days. Big Up Goldie & all Metalheadz fans worldwide!!!
