The other tunes are good but their production is a bit inconsistent, however this is nice and heavy. The combination of slow r+b with frantic layered breaks works well and is a good indicator of the direction which hardcore\/jungle headed a year or two after this release.<br \/>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Vicious-Crew-No-Politics-Vol-2\/release\/387371\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/vicious_crew.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Vicious Crew - No Politics Vol 2 A1.mp3\">Vicious Crew &#8211; No Politics Vol 2 A1<\/a><Br><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2768-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Vicious%20Crew%20-%20No%20Politics%20Vol%202%20A1.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Vicious%20Crew%20-%20No%20Politics%20Vol%202%20A1.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Vicious%20Crew%20-%20No%20Politics%20Vol%202%20A1.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight&#8217;s tune is some seriously chopped hardcore\/jungle from a crew of 3 producers, including someone related to the Ibiza\/Noise Factory records camp: Big Vern aka Colin Biggerstaff.
