Source Direct - Source Direct album flac

Source Direct is an English drum and bass act from St Albans, Hertfordshire. Source Direct have released an EP, Controlled Developments (1997), an album, Exorcise the Demons (1999), as well as numerous singles, under both the Source Direct name and a number of aliases. Originally Source Direct consisted of James Baker and Phil Aslett, later becoming a solo project of Baker's in 1999.

Source Direct (alternatively Sounds of Life, Mirage, Intensity, Hokusai, Oblivion) were Phil Aslett and Jim Baker, two teenage friends from St Albans, who between 1994 and 1999 produced some of the heaviest, most abstract drum and bass ever conceived. In the process they pushed the boundaries of what could be expected from a music written off by the mainstream press just a few years before as ‘toytown’ rave. It’s widely accepted that this album didn’t reach the heights of their single releases and in any case the world of jungle and drum and bass had by this time changed irrevocably. Ed Rush and Optical’s crowning achievement, Wormhole, had been released to huge acclaim, and along with (to name a few) Ram Trilogy, Jonny L’s ‘Piper’ and classic LP Magnetic, DJ Trace and finally Bad Company established the dominance of the new tech-step movement.
