Volume 9 has a really nice down tempo vibe that combines well with the crazy drum breaks that are a trademark of the Dusty Fingers series. Things start off well with the familiar library track "Hogan's Thing" and the quality remains high right up until "La Morte Accarezza a Mezzanotte" which in my opinion rises above everything else. There is a couple of straight up drum tracks, a nice funk number in the form of "Super Snatch" and a classic slice of Roy Budd magic. I'm sure there is more than enough cool grooves on this album to hold you interest.

Any album that opens with a track used in The Sweeney is gonna be a large slice of WIN!

This 9th DF maintains the quality heard on the 10th volume, so it looks like the run's gonna be a solid 10 for 10 (I seriously doubt they threw boring tracks on earlier albums to build up to the later ones, yah?)

The link is to an "unknown file type" (not any kind of music file). Is this correct?
Thanks for these comps, they RULE!

@ Anon - I don't know why the heck that is happening. It wasn't like that before. I'll try to find an alternative link for you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for fixing the link Mr. Craig! I have REALLY been enjoying these comps...sweet!

Any chance that the Missus Beastly Space Guerilla can be fixed? It looks killer but neither link is working for me. All the other DF comps have DLed no problemo.
many thanks & peace

I'll try to get to Missus Beastly after work tomorrow.
