The long-awaited sequel from Neil Conti to his legendary 'Funky
drums from Hell'. Brian Eno contributes special mixes to ensure you won't be
disappointed!
Great drumming, edgy
production and an obsessive pursuit of the ultimate
groove ensure this is another classic, truly a work of
art.
Long live mixes and jams
(with key loops sliced out in appropriate formats) as
well as shorter loops categorized as Extreme, Resonant
and Dry. Hundreds of loops in total. Stylistically very
human, creative and warm. This collection was recorded
over many years and carefully processed through the
finest available analogue processing by Brian Eno and
Daniel Lazerus - as you would expect you can almost hear
these drums sing!

Apple Loops - Dark Side of the Grooves
"Man this sounds fat! Noise free, but warm and fat...Brilliant
recorded stuff period!...the sound quality is 100% fat! It's
mixed so nicely and it really grooves...very hip sounding...I
find these loops very, very useful... it's definitely an 'alone
on a island' pick!" - Raapie.nl
"This collection of samples from the ex-Prefab Sprout sticks man
is the most expensive of those on test here, but it's not
difficult to see why. Conti's previous sample CDs have been
largely down-tempo affairs, but on Dark Side he ups the pace and
aggression somewhat to produce a drum loop collection of great
originality and depth.
Beats vary from hip-hop grooves to drum and bass workouts via
several industrial excursions. Conti has also thrown in several
longer jams that organically build and change over several bars.
On top of this, Brian Eno has lent a hand by bastardizing
several of the loops in his own personal style.
This sample library is limited purely to drum loops, so it's not
one for those who are after a construction kit-type CD, but it's
an excellent choice for musicians looking for some fresh and
original drumbeats to lift their compositions. 4 Mice." -
