My Review from irishdrumandbass.com
Naphta - Long Time Burning LP
The Fear Recordings - FEAR008CD/RR001
As a producer, and as a DJ, not to mention a follower of drum and bass for nigh on 13 or 14 years it takes a lot to get me really excited about an LP, especially when it comes to a jungle sound LP. Nowadays there are far too many lazy producers aping the early nineties sound with ragga samples and hectic amens, "rinsing it out" for the sake of it.
Naphta's Long Time Burning LP is none of the above. To be honest, i'm blown away by it...This album isn't a homage to the days when Drum and Bass was exciting, vibrant, experimental, melodic, intricate, tongue in cheek....IT IS exciting, vibrant, experimental, melodic and all the other great things drum and bass at it's best can be.
As a long player this album effortlessly moves from skanked out bliss to brooding darkness and in between, each track put together with incredible attention to detail. It would spoil the journey to go into detail on each track, but my own personal highlights is the rolling that is "bagman skank", the trippy "my heart beating" and the awesome "Soundclash VIP"
If you've been a long time fan of drum and bass, or someone new to the game, you need to own this.

Review from the forthcoming issue of Woofah:
Naphta â Long Time Burning (The Fear CD)
âI left the the coastal plains and I wandered inland... and then I came
to where... real jungle begins...â
Can one man save drum 'n' bass from itself? The current state of play seems to be a fight between 180 bpm anodyne trance vs numbingly obvious ragga breakcore mashups. Naphta is fighting a rearguard action to bring back the thirst for the unpredictable which always made the music so exciting to us jaded old fuckers.
So, a jungle album. I have to put my hand up and say I wasn't expecting too much of this, but a few tunes in and I was grinning away, ready to step it up like back in the day, much to the amusement of my daughter.
It's a no-brainer that reigning in the bpms and cliched samples allows you the space for FLOW and FUNK and EXPERIMENTATION, but everyone else seems too young (or too up themselves) to have learned this lesson.
âJungle Forever!â ...but nothing lasts forever.
Tracks like âBagman Skankâ and âJungle Republicâ are beautiful rollers with everything perfectly placed in the mix. It's achingly good to be reminded of this again, but there's a tinge of sadness over days gone by as well, like a last dance with your ex-.... Could things have been different, is this just nostalgia or is there a future here? For me this tiny hint of melancholia adds proper depth to the album and stops it being some kind of pub tribute band affair.
But please don't get me wrong, the album isn't depressing - it's totally full on and righteous. For example âStreet Dancingâ is ultra brock out business that will have you skanking wherever you hear it. âSoundclashâ is proper brooding lighta in the air stuff that uses reggae samples with a deftness and subtlety that certain producers should be forced to learn at gunpoint.
Long Time Burning not only points out that emperor d ânâ b has lost his clothes, it holds up a massive portrait of him in the glory days of yesteryear.If you're only going to buy one drum 'n' bass album this decade, it should be this one. (JOHN EDEN)
