Review Highlights
"The playing, as you might expect, is spot on. The riffs where there is different instrumentation is tight, the performances sound very much human, and the recording is very clean and open...you could easily imagine the musicians in the room with you. Very natural...good value, good playing, well recorded...if your looking for a brass lick then you'll find a host you can use right here...Recommended." Read the full review at sounduser.com
"...utterly compelling...a strong esoteric and bravely experimental feel...all the players are seriously talented individuals and more importantly have an innate sense of what it takes to play as part of a group forming razor sharp tight performances filled with expression and precision...it all makes for compelling sampling. - 5 Stars" - Sound On Sound |

This vast collection is forward-thinking, hard-hitting and radically stylish. Hundreds of punchy, rhythmic grooves across all tempos and crossing all cultural boundaries sit with masses of divinely spiritual ambiences from the sacred to the profane. Useful for virtually all styles of music as vital extra ingredients or simply perfect for inspirational new directions this expressive, dramatically visionary production is ideally suited for those who want something new and different with an extremely professional edge.
If you don't like the normal boring rubbish, don't go crazy, get 'Completely Bonkers'.
Contents
An inspiring and hugely creative library featuring drum loops ranging from 75 bpm right up to 150 bpm, Musical Loops from 70 to 135 bpm, Strange Loops, and an amazing collection of Ambiences!
Review Highlights
"There's everything from lush angelic choirs to creepy backgrounds — I was immediately tempted to fire up my sampler and start composing a score for an imaginary film... when I listened to the samples I was, in the main, impressed. I think this sample collection would be a useful addition to your sample library if you like your samples slightly off-the-wall, and it might just spark off some creative ideas or provide that extra piece of ambience needed to add depth to the track you're working on. 4 stars." - Sound On Sound, July 2004.

"Killer kick drum work...impossibly difficult snare work...the ensuing result is devastating...a peach...If you don't love Keith's drumming, you haven't listened to it.

More info on the Producer

He has his own record label, Blanc Records, and is a member of Tackhead. Keith's first CD was very successful, this one is on a different planet. His subsequent Fresh Killed Meat CDs, Prime Funk and Drum&Bass Carnage, continue to build his reputation as one of the finest producers of drum loops around. Prime Funk has already picked up another 5 star review from Sound On Sound - a unique hat-trick.
Review Highlights
"...the loop tracks never settle down to a routine: there are always challenging twists and turns to the sound, feel and approach. Many have a unique character, yet leave enough room for your creativity...This set challenges you not to come up with formula music. KLB's mind and talent give you a head start in avoiding the mediocre - don't waste it!." 5 Stars. - Sound On Sound
