The inventor of the jump-up drum & bass, Gavin King, the honor is and delivers what the audience expects from him: Baßlastige, melodic, provided with Stimmschnippsel Outgoing songs that suck the listener on the dance floor. Here, King moved again within the limits of the Jungles and of drum & bass, hip-hop and ragga elements can inflow ("All Over Me") or rotates close to the chill-out ("wobble"). The hip-hop portion urging to the ninth track around clearly to the fore, what Aphrodite possibly rather experienced partners in the "Asian Dub Foundation" should be left, like certainly not any. Towards the end of the album again he remembers back to his strengths and moves in familiar climes. "Aftershock" a continuous nearly perfect, "melodic" Drum & Bass Album that hereby bored ears the monotonous drum & bass styles of the discos had suggested. Even after the umpteenth listen times nothing is boring, what is in electronic albums of this kind too often the case. Probably the best album up to that point of Aphrodite.
