[@blackeroni]

Yes, this is exactly how i feel about 90s-00's house music, it has a such a distincty futury feel but not like the cheesy artificial garbage today.

[@Dob6660]

thats why its called timeless

Utterly and completely

[@kennethvalbjoern]

Best drum'n'bass track ever. Best drum programming I have ever heard! And the strings and vocals - killer. This track is epic

[@user-ly9dh5jq5u]

Это шедевр!!!!

[@alexmalex82]

This is a soul song from London to all those living inner city lives around the world. ❤️

[@Raydensheraj]

I cant even describe how much I love, adore and enjoy this Album. In my opinion (for my taste) it is the greatest Album EVER produced by anyone. It beams me right back into the years of 96 thru 99 - in which I had this Album on repeat. My first Love, my first break up, the last years of school, my slow transition from listening to techno/trance to Drum & Bass, Ambient and more experimental stuff like Future Sound of London (Lifeforms) or Aphex Twin. The sound programming and the incredible work on the arrangements - everything is perfect. Tracks like Timeless, Kemistry, Sensual or Sea of Tears immidiately do something to my endorphins and my body and brain remembers how I felt, how things smelled, how I walked thru Berlin with headphones on thinking... how the sun felt, the mornings, the summertime nights with birds singing.......its incredible and something very different I hardly ever experience concerning Music.

[@getthoseskills4451]

Thanks for posting this masterpiece. Loving Goldie and other electronic British artists like Leftfield, Underworld, The Prodigy, Massive Attack, Faithless, Four Tet, Aphex Twin, Tricky, Unkle, Roni Size, The Streets, Orbital, Burial, Krust, Forest Swords, Allflaws

[@2AM560]

[@porterhall27]

blimey I think you mean 1990...its not that old

[@porterhall27]

@s 97 it was released in 95

[@uncletrashero]

Raves fell off when you stopped having to find out the secret address

[@dragomirstankovikj4167]

Inner city life, pressure, jah. Nuff said. And then the whole album, which is a masterpiece. Next dnb album that achieved that status was New Forms.. Those two.. are ageless music.

Rob Playford made the hammer, the nails and hit the nail with the hammer! Goldie held the nail for him!

[@LordOfTheBored]

A legendary track. Life was better back then in 1995.....

[@noklarok]

I agree..

[@eleanorsimmonsphotography1150]

I loved this tune and never knew that the vocalist Diane Charlemagne was a cousin until a few years later. May she RIP

[@LordOfTheBored]

Diane Charlemagne is dead? I also know her from Urban Cookie Collective. Oh. RIP

[@wonkyal3097]

She was beautiful in every way x

[@HashMagician]

I was just a kid... I was 13. We didnt have anything like this kind of music in Israel, but i caught Inner City Life radio version on MTV's Chill Out Zone at 2 AM one night. I went to Tower Records with my mom and bought this album. It was winter. I took a shower, came out and pressed play. I had a green-blue bulb as light at my room at the time... I laid on my bed and listened...

[@andreonate797]

i wish i was your brother to trip you in the hall after the cd finished.

[@michaelkohl8616]

Rest In Power,... Such beauty, balance, and raw perfection... Crisp, clean... Ruff in the jungle BIZNESS!!!!!! Love sent to heaven in your name, Diane Charlemagne.....

One of the best tunes ever. Thanks for all the LSD/ X and thc rides it gave to me. Now im an serius corporation worker, but still love to put this tune on, and get back to the best times of music, and my life.

[@ollsmells]

I used to think that this music was boring and had no substance when I was younger, I was so wrong and am angry at myself for not liking it back then. This music is fantastic!

[@sanderpieterse6480]

I remember this was on MTV, the single version of inner city life... I watched it in the morning at like 08:00am before going to university... i loved it..the video....the sounds.. the vocals...the long lines...the melody ....the dropping grocery cart...the works...and i still love it. So hard yet so beautiful and melodic... i was late that day... Pure love this song. when people say they miss that era, i can relate but i wonder do we miss that era, or the way we were touched by something new?

[@MirrorSurfer]

Perfection is an unachievable concept since optimization, discovery, evolution, and ephemeralization are never ending but this album comes close to the physical manifestation of it.

[@mb6412]

„Inner city pressure“ - more actual than ever

No pressure in the city at the mo!!!

25 years ago today, the infamous album, Timeless was released...I thought this was the future-i was literally blown away, I was 20 years old, in the midst of uni life..an album that got me thru many ups + downs + challenges in life..I owe so much to Goldie for this! 💯🖤🙏🏽 #GoodTimes + #Timeless..🖤🙏🏽

[@blacknussTV]

This blew me away the first time I heard it. It was the freshest stuff I had heard in a decade. Goldie is like the Coltrane of Electronica.

u mean rob playford?

[@PersephoneSkye_]

You have a valid point 🙂

[@fkc.9933]

​@@MemoryLaneCinema Where are the great Rob Playford singles and LPs proving that he's a great arranger AND a great composer? Yes, we must give credit where it's due, but the debate over "who made Timeless" has frankly become an utter waste of time.

[@fkc.9933]

I've never heard anyone complaining that Ludwig van Beethoven couldn't play EVERY instrument employed in the symphonies he wrote

[@MarKituus]

I've discovered Goldie here in Brazil in 1997, and still this sound/album is for me a new type of sound language: is a spiritual expertence. A classic! and I remember my adolecent in skate roller! impossible listen a better sound in a pandemic moment. sound for mediration!

[@nadiromar2666]

Transcendent music, he put every bit of his soul into this beautiful music.

[@bobhands9639]

Dropping a tune called timeless might've sounded egotistical then, but how right he was. Still listening in 2019 and beyond...

MemoryLaneCinema I think he’s talking about Goldie. No one could say this was Rob Playford’s best he made too much great music! Goldie too but for me no one is less appreciated and more under rated than Rob Playford period!

[@Raydensheraj]

I don't think ANY Drum & Bass Album afterwards managed to top this....in my opinion this is the greatest Album of all time. But it has a special meaning to me so I'm hyperbiased.

[@Sevish]

I am age and been listening to this since year, still a timeless choon

[@lornaharris4912]

CLASSIC FROM 90' UK JUNGLE ROOTS

[@roblund8613]

medlenno yes I

[@armindersingh9273]

Damn this album is like a father to me. It was released 19 years ago, it is old as me as I am 95 born, so were young and were not too old. Listening back to the times of Jungle and D&B during rave era period. I heard some of the tracks in Timeless were strong in the 95's played in many memories all over the places in rave locations. Man this album is way out of this dimension or frequency. Divine and bliss. It's like "Spiritual drum & bass". I opened my chakras, infinite awareness to the mind I acknowledged 'higher conciousness' spoke to me whilst listening to this meditated track. Timeless, shapeless, formless and infinite.....------->

[@iC0MPL3x]

96 born here same time it was released. I love this album.

[@robertmech3069]

95-96 best millenials represent

[@brothermaleuspraetor9505]

I'm glad you are enjoying it at the same kind of age I was, hmm... 15 yr old when it came out. My fave to this day seems to be Kemistry. I do not know why, but it dominated the album for me.

[@ezme7030]

as a 16 year old today i cant help but feel hypercritical. i wish i was born earlier so this could have been coming out when i was this age, but anything new just isnt like this. apart from some wonderful jazz musicians like Moses Boyd and Yuseff Dayes, i feel like i want the new of the 80s and 90s, not the new of now. i cant really explain it. how can i view myself as so forward thinking when all i listen to and watch is from the past?

[@henriqueramos3197]

Timeless to me The best drum And bass, breakbeat, jungle of all time.

[@Zoli1972s]

So true. Lovin' this since it came out.

[@henriqueramos3197]

Timeless should be the album you must hear before you die

[@Abel-Alvarez]

[@GK-pm5sf]

@@AlexAlcyone hella true, there's so many people that go into an album. but in the end, the main artist(s) go on the front. I don't think anyone ignores rob's efforts here, luckily. goldie's a visionary not a musician, so it works out in the end. i'd have him score a film for me if i could.
