So Far

So Far is Alex Reece and the birth of tech-step, 'Pulp Fiction' and a record that helped invent a whole strand of drum & bass before a major label got involved. It's the sound of the genre turning cleaner and more mechanical, a genuinely influential moment even if the album around the key tracks is patchier. It ranks at a hundred and seventy because it leans on its landmark singles, but those singles genuinely shifted the genre, and the influence was real.
