Other Formats: NHS30LP

Plastic Surgery 2 boasts a tracklisting including several young producers who have fast been gaining attention over
the last year - Danny Byrd, DJ Kalm, Calibre, High Contrast are all in their early twenties . The album also features
more established artists Total Science, John B and Carlito & Addiction, who are finally getting the recognition they
deserve.

Plastic Surgery 2 illustrates how much Drum & Bass has evolved in the last 12 months and helps shape the direction
in which it's heading: this is drum&bass that owes as much to house, garage, disco, detroit techno, soul and funk as
it does to hardcore, and breakbeat. The overall sound is fresh, not falling into the polarised catagories of "dark" or
"jazzy" drum&bass.
