Reviewer Background
:
Iv'e been making electronic music for a 10 years and have been playing for about 22 years.
My setup is based around a computer running Win XP and my interface is a Seasound Solo running at 24 bit. My monitors are M-Audio BX8'S and AKG271m phones. I sample mostly into Sound Forge and edit directly from there.
I have been working with this library for about a year now.

The sounds they are aiming for with this library are very much in a trip hop vein with all tempos from the 80 to 100bpm range. There is definately a lot of intentional grit in these loops and they are all pretty squashed with compression. As far as usability is concerned it seems that very many of these loops are too similar for my tastes and a little too mechanical in some instances. I think out of all the material offered i have used this disc maybe once. I bought this title used and probably would not purchase it again.

VF is definitely worth the price tag. Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, the whole "Bristol sound".. you got it, with this disc. Single hits and drumloops are what the disc is comprised of. Excellent, usable library. I have nothing bad to say about it.
