Classic unreleased Calibre D&B productions (from 1997 to 2005) finally make onto 4 X 12" Vinyl.There arent many artists that have a veritable vault of back dated and in demand tracks, but Calibre is an exception to the rule. Noneof the tracks on his Shelf Life Compilation tracks have ever been played onto plastic and have only been played by a select fewlucky enough to have been given them on plate or, more recently, CDR. Venue & Mars seems to be the track everyones purringabout and with good reason too, but its his remix of Klutes Hospital classic, Part Of Me. that really catches the ear. Not manywould or could try to remix such a tune, but he does it with ease. Quality stuff! Acrobat is another track that everyones waiting for,being the kind of tune that epitomises seminal nights such as Speed, and Easy On My Mind furthers that cause with its funkyswinging bassline. Re-entry has a more sinister feel to it and will turn heads, while Peace Of Mind is quite simply classic Calibre.But who am I to tell you which tracks stand out? What I can say though is that Dominic Martin will go down in drum and bass historyas one of its legendary producers. Consistent and prodigiously talented, this compilation acts as a testament to his unique style.This is a great album that everyone, regardless of music tastes, should go out and buy. Please note this album will not be promo-ed.Full colour artwork copies only.
