Seen him a couple of times and didn't think that much, but was outdoors and you can't really listen to drum and bass like that unless you can get real close to the sound. New Forms is a quality album though, been listening to that alot lately, reminising

Believe it or not I've been right into my D&B since back in the day - long before the scene was mobbed by two bit flirts who disappeared off to they next fad (Speed Garage? Who you kidding?!) as soon as it reared it's ugly head.
The guy (Size) is a legend - a true pioneer to the scene. I'm trying to get my hands on the new live V-Recordings album and having a right job of it.
See him live, preferably in a tight arena (dare I say the next bit?) in his home town. Top class.

Mark, you dared to say it, and I reckon you're right. There was a qualtiy documentary on BBC3 about him in st pauls and his whole career and the scene down there, very informative.

I've seen Roni Size twice, he's quality, especially when he plays brown paper bag. Here is a photo of when he came down to the front to sign stuff. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/2hats/Picture201.jpg and this is Dynamite MC http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/2hats/Picture197.jpgSaw DJ Marky and DJ Zinc last night, fucking superb. Marky mixed Pendulum's remix of Prodigy Voodoo People with the drum and bass version of Charly by Prodigy - that was an incredible tune. Charly says always tell your mother before you go off somewhere. Danced non stop for 2 and half hours. It started off really cold in there but as usual was very hot by the end.

Roni Size is pretty good... I'm not into D&B but some of his stuff is pretty cool.
Didn't live up to the promise that the Mercury Prize win suggested in the 90's though.
