Description

Despite a history stretching well over a decade, Ninja has never released a "greatest hits" style compilation. Smart alecs will say that its cos weve never had any hits, but if we start off on that footing proceedings will end in a slap to your face with a kid glove, a shivery meeting at dawn and a lead ball lodged firmly in your fathead cranium. A-ight So, to put it another way, Ninja has always released compilations made up mainly of original tracks. And why change now Some of the older tracks have been lovingly remastered because, frankly, times change, sonics are meatier and, well, weve got more money these days. And anyway, its how John (Lennon) would have wanted it to sound But beyond that, its just a tub-thumping combination of BIG TOONZ and LOST CLASSIX. In the first category fall such gems as Scruffs "Get A Move On," and the Cinematic Orchestras "All That You Give" and in the latter, the utterly blinding "Dark Lady" by DJ Food (youll remember it when you hear it) and 9 Lazy 9s "Black Jesus". It really is a succession of blinding tunes which (getting all serious, for a mo) shows the breadth of imagination, the humour and the sheer ear for good music thats gone into the label over the last XII years And thats it really no flim flam, no angle just a huge shedload of great music. Which is Ninja, really, when you think about it.
