"Return to V" follows in the footsteps of such Size classics as the Mercury Prize winning, genre-defining "New Forms," and the hip hop infused "In The Mode" as a unique synthesis of UK drum & bass, Jamaican dancehall, and US hip hop, jazz and soul/R&B. With "Return to V," Size has returned to the groundbreaking, vocal-infused futurism that earned him countless awards and magazine covers worldwide, as well as Platinum sales in his native UK. "Return to V" sees Size working with a line up of gifted vocalists that include Rahzel, Vikter Duplaix, Beverly Knight, Jocelyn Brown, Sweetie Irie, and Rodney P as well as Reprazent/Full Cycle regulars Dynamite MC and Tali. Additionally, as with the fully live Roni Size/Reprazent tour which took North America by storm in the late 1990's, Roni Size and a handpicked crew of musicians will be bringing the stage show to North American shores in early 2005 in support of "Return to V" Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Roni Size Drops Bombs!This album is way better than New Forms. I bought New Forms when it came out because I was looking for the D&B that actually came on this album. New Forms is more drawn out and "underground", but Return to V has shorter tracks, tighter compositions and more BASS to get yourself moving. This album has a couple of weak spots but only 2 or 3. The album runs as one whole track, with all the tracks blending in with each other. I would pump this at a party anyday, minus a couple songs. Track 5 is ...

Rating:  - Return? No to what made him!If I remember a review that was written on the sticker of this album...."Roni Size Gives DnB a 'Human' touch". What the heck does that mean? He got some MCs? He did a few "down-tempo" tracks? None of the tracks sound like the track that made him known (you know which one)? Is it the simple fact that this album sounds nothing like his previous style? Is it the fact that when someone does an album with more familiar melodies,tempos and Vocals that an album becomes more human? ... Read More Rating: - Not really a return to VThe title of this Roni Size release might confuse you. Size released many vinyls under the V recordings label in the mid 90's and one might think that this release is musically similar to the tracks released back then. However, the only return here is to the record label. This new mix is a departure from anything else done in the drum and bass world (especially from the mid 90's V recording tracks). This CD proves that Size is still the pioneer when it comes to new forms of DNB. ... Read More Rating: - drum and bass 2005Roni Size is the man who brought drum and bass to the fore. New Forms was a classic album. But Roni Size is the product of the early 1990s hiphop scene in Bristol. The Full Cycle records started coming out at that time and it was underground club music, pretty much ignored by the press. The explosion of drum and bass in 1996-97 into clubs was a small revolution. Even though Roni Size Reprazent was one of the top live acts of the late 1990s, drum and bass disappeared from the popular sphere. Reprazent came ... Read More
