If we're going to talk about seminal jungle records they don't come much more important than this one, right? Origin Unknown, aka Andy C and Ant Miles, defined a new darkside direction for breakbeat hardcore and jungle when they committed 'Valley Of The Shadows' to wax. The iconic samples, the looming sub bass, the tight as you like break edits - it's just the perfect track. Most people forget it was originally paired up with another tune though, and 'The Touch' deserves some praise too. It feels more in line with the general wave of hardcore that was prevalent when the record dropped in 1993, not least thanks to the gnarly synth lines and vocal slices, but it's still a totem of the genre at its best. Remastered, repressed and ready to destroy the rave all over again.
