Arguably, Goldie and MBV are the only artists ever to create and destroy a genre of music with consecutive albums. The folks at Select were kind enough to remind me that "Saturnz Return" exposed drum 'n bass as electronic prog rock. This effectively limited anyone's ability to take drum 'n bass seriously. On the other hand, "Loveless" effectively limited anyone's ability to take Ride, Lush and Chapterhouse seriously.
