Drum and bass legend turned TV personality Goldie is the latest DJ to take Ministry of Sound's Masterpiece test, following in the footsteps of Andrew Weatherall and Francois K. The fact this vinyl edition of the compilation only features a smattering of the tracks from the full triple CD version should not be a surprise (try cramming 50 tracks on three slabs of vinyl!) Despite this, Ministry Of Sound have done a fine job in conveying the full breadth of styles covered by Clifford Joseph Price, commencing with the wonderful [rejazz] cover of Goldie's timeless "Inner City Life" and veering through the warped early jungle of Internal Affairs and Nookie, '90s hardcore of Dragon Fly, the soothing roots skank of Ken Boothe and the classic Cherelle and Alexander O'Neal jam "Saturday".
