Timeless
by Goldie
The 2224th greatest album of all time
Timeless is Goldie’s 1995 debut album that helped define drum and bass by combining cinematic orchestral textures, downtempo and ambient passages, and dense, chopped breakbeats with deep sub-bass. Tracks such as "Inner City Life" pair soulful, melancholic vocals and string-like arrangements with syncopated jungle rhythms, while the title track unfolds as an extended, atmospheric piece that blends rhythmically intense sections with ambient and melodic interludes. The album is widely regarded as a landmark in the development of a more melodic and cinematic strand of drum and bass and jungle.
