With Conrad & Makoto's fantastic 'Golden Girl' currently riding high in junglist's hearts, the label that helped to take jungle to the masses is currently on the rise again, following a few years during which that trademark Good Looking sound appeared lose relevance somewhat. This two CD set takes in one of Bukem & Conrad's ever-tight live sets, and also a pristine studio mix of deep and dreamy Good Looking beats. It's that latter that works best, particularly when the baritone-voiced Conrad launches into a rendition of the aforementioned 'Golden Girl'. Bright and breezy. ~ Knowledge

LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad have touched every corner of the globe and provide a sound that people from all walks of life can relate to and enjoy. You even find people that don�t normally like drum and bass at the famous Logical Progression sessions enjoying the music as much as any die hard D&B head. No wonder the Progression Sessions series on CD has done so well, and no doubt this next instalment of the legendary duo, live in Munich, will be another huge success in giving us all the listening pleasure of their live experience. As well as a very limited DVD release of the gig you can expect 2 CD�s, the first being the live mix featuring the smooth vocals of Conrad and the second as an exclusive studio mix from the main man. This release includes plenty of the latest releases from Good Looking such as the massive anthem �Golden Girl� from Makoto (featuring the sweet vocals of Conrad) as well as fresh bits from CIA, 31 records and Social Studies. Other artists also included are Greg Packer with �Organ Tune�, Stress Level & TC-1�s �No Way Back�, Catch 22, Basic Intentions and Ill Logic & Raff�s �Shootout� to name a few. Just like with all the Progression Session live series, this release is truly one not to be missed. Treat yourself to some quality music! 10/10 ~ DOA
