Few would describe Goldie as a master of understatement. His private life, his fashion style, his musical output, all reach for registry on a grander scale than most other music superstars of the late nineties, Gallaghers and Spices included. No surprise then that SATURNZ RETURN, his second full-length album and his second two-cd set (!), is packed to the gills with drum'n'bass pomp; from the massive Metalheadz breakbeats that have cemented his visionary rep to cameos by two heavies (Noel Gallagher on "Temper Temper," and KRS-One on "Digital") meant to assist drum'n'bass' crash-landing into the pop consciousness. But the grandest thing about Goldie is his 70mm musical vision, and that's best exemplified by the hour-long opener "Mother," a Bjork-meets-Pink Floyd-in-the-jungle excursion that also serves as the album's emotional springboard in much the same way "Inner City Life" opened his debut. Amidst strings and sounds of landing rocketships (there's no hint of beat until more than twenty minutes into the piece), Diane Charlamagne's wailing diva vocals unlock the gates to Goldie's soul, letting both the light and the darkness escape. Needless to say, there's plenty of both in there.
