Feel the love with some hardcore jungle.
Stumped for a Valentine’s Day gift this year? Why not present your beloved with 60 minutes of extremely hard cartoon jungle? Feel their ardour as the hoover bass kicks in on Running Out Of Time. See their eyes light up as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel’s Don’t Give Up is cannily reworked as a happy hardcore anthem. Watch their brow knit in confusion at a ragga re-rub of We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Chevron’s debut album is a contrary bugger. It ranges from being inspired, fresh, dangerous and beautiful to tedious and irritating, sometimes in the same track.

There's not much to be said for disorgansed cacophony, whatever the advocates of punk improv might try and tell you. Organized cacophony, however, is an entierly different matter and Chevron play that game with no mean skill. 'Everything's Exactly The Same' dispenses with musical niceties, and cuts straight to the chase with a screeching assult on the senses, a perfect introduction to an album of pressurized electronica.

It has been a long time since a truly outstanding practitioner of the dark art of ambient drill n bass has stepped out into the light. With ‘Everything’s Exactly the Same’, Chevron has transformed himself from shy debutante to knob-twiddler extraordinaire. Everything about this album is sublime: dubby electronics make small talk with ambient beats and ragga mc’ing mingles with harsh breaks and bass. Even at its most energetic, Chevron is restrained enough not to take the music to extremes, making this one of 2005’s most unexpected musical joys.
