These tracks are cool but overall I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s a favorite or anything. Still, it&#8217;s interesting record, features Mad Professor, and I basically conned myself into paying way too much for it yesterday because I found it at some random record sale and was stoked to find a weird jungle record I had never heard of before.  Also, it was interesting to find one which had so many jungle mixes (usually ragga records featuring jungle mixes have max 1-2)<br \/>\nWhen I got it home though, I realized a few things that made me rethink my purchase:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;quite a few tracks&#8221; = actually 5 tracks a side&#8230; meaning it&#8217;s unspinnable because the gain has to be cranked all the way up to make it audible<\/li>\n<li>I could have bought a CD version for $4 online, negating the volume issue&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>there&#8217;s links to full copies of this all over the net for some reason<\/li>\n<li>some tracks are cool but few I&#8217;d really consider spinning, bringing into question why I&#8217;d want it on vinyl to begin with<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of this leads me to believe it probably wasn&#8217;t the smartest purchase&#8230; For what I paid for this ($18),  I could have bought me a random 2, maybe 3 cheap records on my wantlist . Ah well, now that I have it,  no way I&#8217;m letting it go to waste.. so here&#8217;s two of my favorites from this record. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Masaruni&#8221; is a pretty damn crazy jungle track&#8230; all sorts of stuff going on.  &#8220;Cry of the Woolf&#8221; has the never-fail combo of jungle breaks + wolf\/dog barking sounds, along with some nice filtering and bits of amen peaking in here and there.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mazaruni-The-Jungle-Dub-Experience\/master\/214133\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/masaruni.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni! - Mazaruni.mp3\">Mazaruni! &#8211; Mazaruni<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3017-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni!%20-%20Mazaruni.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni!%20-%20Mazaruni.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni!%20-%20Mazaruni.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni! - Cry of the Wolf.mp3\">Mazaruni! &#8211; Cry of the Wolf<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3017-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni!%20-%20Cry%20of%20the%20Wolf.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni!%20-%20Cry%20of%20the%20Wolf.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Mazaruni!%20-%20Cry%20of%20the%20Wolf.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, I&#8217;m not gonna lie&#8230; this is not the best jungle record I&#8217;ve ever posted here.
