Logical Progression

“Logical Progression (also known as LTJ Bukem Presents Logical Progression) is a compilation album” ….you mean like a frickin playlist?? You want me to listen to a *playlist* before I go? ...a playlist of Mario Kart Menu Music??

It's amazing, I thought I'd like drum 'n bass. In a list of important D'nB artists I find Aquasky, DJ Food, Lamb and The Prodigy. All bands that I love. If this album is a milestone and essential work of the D'nB genre, I don't think I like it. I listened to a few pieces from the album. They reminded me of the terrific band 'Kraftwerk', only not nearly as good, very monotonous (and that compared to a band that performed 'Autobahn') and totally boring. Then I saw that the whole album has 3 hours of playing time. For what? Forever the same sequence? Maybe you have to take drugs to get into it. But even then, I'd rather listen to something else. 1/5

I felt like this one was a cruel joke, I think it was a nearly 4hr album. After listening to the first 2 songs, I thought that surely it was almost over but that was just the tip of the iceberg. I did not listen to the whole album, so I feel bad giving it a 1 star, but that's what's happening.

didn't enjoy, just an instrumental album

DNF. 3.5 hours of drum and bass is a bit much.

DNF. the songs I did listen to didnt seem to go anywhere. And 3.5 hrs is wayyyyy too long for an album

Above & Beyond is the best track on this album, and even it I couldn't make it through. I don't understand why these bland electronic albums keep making this list.

could i write poetry to this? n

Bored

Gute Musik zum Einschlafen, aber sonst?

Nope. Absolutely not. Over three hours long - are you kidding me? Didn't make it past the first track.

A couple of days ago I posted a review saying that electronic dance music was the worst genre. I apologise to those fans because I had forgotten that drum and bass is the worst music genre. Botempi organ music - tedious repetitive rubbish a child could create.

Way, way too long. It's a compilation too?! Why is this even here. Toss this background music in the trash. Full confession: this is the first time I didn't listen in it's entirety. I just couldn't get through these repetitive tracks. My integrity it has taken a hit!

This is a compilation? That's right. A compilation of dog shit.

I started to listen to the spotify version and was like 10 minutes in when I started to totally hate it. I did not give up. I learned on wikipedia that the original album has a different tracklist so I searched for it. I did not hate it as much but I did. It's fucking dated and very meh. feels like a pro tools library of outdated sounds.

I got bored after exactly 7 minutes and 4 seconds.

No

This not being on Spotify in its entirety and being fragmented on YouTube already soured my experience. I don’t hate the genre, but I didn’t enjoy two hours of drum and bass especially with no vocals. I feel as though I need to be doing time trials in a racing game. I can see why this is on the list, but it’s not for me.

I hate this. How could anyone think this is an "essential" album? It's the same repetitive drivel that everyone in this genre puts out.

Just bad. Sounds like the soundtrack for a bad action movie in the 90’s. 1/5 Won’t listen again

These pieces sounded like either what's called "house music" or else something you might hear in a sci fi show or movie, very outer spacey. Didn't like any of them.

Somewhat an oxymoron with chill drums and bass… one or two tracks I liked but the rest wasn’t for me.

Oh fuck off

A new contender for the worst entry on here

This is the third or fourth album of *this* type of electronic music that I've received thus far. And I'm running out of creative ways to emphasize how much I hate it. The whole genre. It's repetitive muzak, cold and unfeeling, only of use to soundtrack chase scenes. And the albums are always over an hour long (if you're lucky -- sometimes they stretch it out for *multiple* hours). If you're going to present us with ten seconds of music looped to infinity, can't you cut it off after like three minutes rather than ten? Full disclosure: I almost always listen to the full album, regardless of how much I dislike it, but I skipped this one after 10 mins once it had confirmed my biases. This is only for raves. Or to work to, if you're looking for something extremely repetitive that you can zone out to and ignore.

No Thanks.

3 horas 27 minutos? Seriously? Sorry, no way.

I liked some, and I didn't like some. And I didn't make it all the way through. Too long and repetitive.

Just no.

Interminable

What is the point of this

I feel like I was on hold for 45 minutes.

Music for supermarkets elevetors or porn films

At a bit of a loss as to how this has made the cut. Can only assume it was a token gesture to make up the house(?) numbers. Either way it’s bland as fuck and totally pointless. Reminds me of the type of music they play in them bars that stay open really late where everything is a bit tacky, and the drinks are really expensive, and you’re surrounded by consultants letting their hair down, and you spend your time there wishing you were in bed. Shite.

I wouldn't have this on in the background. The first few tracks sound like those tinny polyphonic ringtones on a 3510. A redundant inclusion in this list.

This was just the worst kind of electronic/DnB music. Was unable to finish it.

How anyone can listen to this for 3 hours without drugs is beyond me. Get me off the drum and bass wild ride. It’s a never ending loop of dull. 1.7/10

Interminable. Ça passera pas au conseil des albums mémorables pantoute. Du beat sans paroles pas mal tout le temps la même affaire avec de légères variations.

No thank you.

Ouch. Way too long. 1 stars.

I'm not gonna lie, this sucks ass. 1 star.

Not a fan

I listened, but it's very repetitive and was sending me to sleep more than is helpful on the morning drive to work.

Someone listened to far too much Sonic CD music. Track 3 got me excited as I thought it was the theme tune from Lost in Space movie... It wasn't Very repetitive, not my cup of roobios

No definitely not.

Hyperspeed breakbeats, jungle, house, drum 'n bass -these are not genre words in my vocabulary, but apparently they exist. I listened to all 3 1/2 hours of this, so I'm good for life. It reminded me very much of the muzak played in botiques in London. Meh......

LTJ Bukem - Logical Progression This was a compilation of drum and bass music. While this might be a genre and style some folks like, this album wasn't due me. Plus it was hard to find the correct version of this album to listen to. Nothing special in my opinion. 1/5

Horribly repetitve

Have a big project for work due in a few days, so this was the perfect background music I needed to zone out and get things done. No real melodies, lyrics, or content at all really, just straight Ableton presets direct to disk.

Two hours of nothing. An absolute nonentity of a record. Rating: 1.5/5 Playlist track: Demons Theme Date listened: 06/01/24

Pas aimé du tout.

Why make a drum and bass album over 2 hours? 2/10

Ritmos electrónicos y poco más.

Anybody up for 3 and a half hours of ringtones from 2005? Yikes

Hated it. Got half a song in and it was awful to try and work to.

This album was putting me to sleep with its repetitive beats. After 45 minutes I was dismayed to discover I was only 5 tracks in.

Tried, but couldn’t complete this album. This genre doesn’t interest me.

3 hours of the same song performed by many people...

Come on, now. It wouldn't kill you to make this list 1000 albums long.

My biggest issue with drum and bass is the lack of guitar and vocals. Other than that this was fantastic.

Drum and bass. I'm going to be hitting skip. Lots. Yep. As awful as any of that genre.

This may have been groundbreaking at the time, but it sounds kike background music to me listening in 2023. Pleasant enough, but nothing to really get your teeth into or grab the attention. I like the idea of the continuous mix version and this seemed a better way to consume this. Although I didn't realise when it came on that it was the whole album AGAIN.

Egads this was... nothing. Even with a fresh cup of coffee flowing through me I could hardly keep awake through the first half of this before being forced to throw in the towel. There needs to be a zero stars option for albums such as this.

Very basic

This sounded like something I would discover on my computer randomly in 1995, not my cup of tea.

This is just noise.

Rubbish

I guess I just dont get it. The genre never really attracted me but I gave it a chance, it just seemed like a cacophony of noise. Did not care for a single track.

I am not the audience for this album

Actual ass 1

Found the reviewed album on YouTube. High BPM drums. Some sampling. Repetitive. Sparse vocals. Innocuous music. High energy - might be good to run to. Or dance to if you were really high. Otherwise without value imo.

Wellicht leuk voor een dance-feest ofzo maar niet thuis

No drum 'n bass please

Yesterday a torture of +90 minutes of meaningless drum and bass with Goldie's 'Timeless', and today this...? really?

Well folks, looks like we’ve got another #clogger on our hands. This was a tough one for me. It truly sounded like I was listening to an album of royalty-free music for media usage. I acknowledge it was probably an influential compilation for British people to listen to and snap them out of the dark hold of 90s britpop, but it was just so boring and unengaging. Barely any evolution in the tracks, barely any variation in the backbeats and synth styles/tones, barely any interesting structure to differentiate one track from another. Totally snooze. I spent a good amount of time finding the right version of this album to listen to by the way. I ended up going to YouTube. The version of this album on Spotify and Apple Music is an entirely different release from years later with a different track list and featuring different artists, and yet the songs ALL still sound the same and are effectively interchangeable. Very disappointing, did not finish, will not revisit.
