(1998)"Timeless" is the debut
album (1995) fromGoldie , a groundbreaking release which is still often nominated as the finest album ever in the history ofdrum and bass music.History
Goldie was joined in the studio by engineer/producer
Rob Playford (aka Timecode), founder of the renownedMoving Shadow label, who did most of the programming and production (with Goldie generating the musical ideas, rhythms and arrangements). Additional engineering and production came from Dego and Marc Mac of4hero .Diane Charlemagne contributed the bulk of the vocals. The album blended the complex, chopped and layeredbreakbeat s and deep basslines of jungle anddrum and bass with expansive, symphonic strings and atmospherics, and beautiful female vocals, creating a crossover hit. Released onPete Tong 's FFRR label, the album reached #7 in the charts, and few consider it bettered by his subsequent releases."Timeless" was simultaneously released as a
double album and single album. The single album removed four tracks and featured the original mix of "Sensual". The U.S. release of the double album appended two bonusremix es.Then an active
graffiti artist, Goldie featured his paintings in the album's artwork.The album is also featured on Robert Dimery's '
1001 albums you must hear before you die '-compilation. [ [http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/steveparker/1001albums.htm Outline Page ] ]Track listing
