Perhaps America's most important drum & bass figurehead, London transplant DJ DB has put together his most accomplished, all-encompassing, and engaging mix yet. Tripping in the lighter shades of darkness and often allowing glorious sunlight to saturate some otherwise dark and heavy beats, DB has liberally sprinkled some jazz and funk into the heart of cuts from the likes of Jonny L, Roni Size, and LTJ Bukem. The movement in this 17-track compilation is absolutely seamless; singling out individual tracks does disservice to such a finely tuned mix. However, keen ears will enjoy Jonny L and Roni Size's "This Time," Photek's spacey remix of the mighty L's classic "Two of Us," Klute's airy, Gary Numan-esque breakbeat "Chicks," and the crown jewel, E-Z Rollers' jazzed-up "Retro (G.O.D.) Remix." While consciously avoiding dark hardcore and keeping matters firmly in the sun, The Secret Art is a welcome mix of some great tunes at a time when the drum & bass genre is back in the dance music underground. --Steffan Chirazi

 Amazing November 7, 2007
This is my all-time favorite album. I enjoy all flavors of electronic music, but generally tend towards more 4-on-the-floor stuff. Regardless, this album I hold very close to my heart. Literally. I wont even let my friends take it out of my sight.
The tracks range from really good to absolutely amazing. The mixing is superb, the flow from track to track profound, and the track selection itself just downright perfect. Buy this album, you won't regret it. Also buy some super nice speakers so that it will do this album justice!
So good.... February 18, 2007

This is the cream of the intelligent crop when it comes to drum and bass. The track selection is superb and when combined with the flawless mixing courtesy of DB, it creates a beautiful sound that carries you effortlessly through the entire album. I am more impressed with this CD every time I listen to it, and consider it essential to anyone who enjoys intelligent drum and bass
 miles ahead of all other DNB mixes... November 18, 2006
by looking to past tunes and combining them with newer tunes, i think db stumbled on to the real futuristic buisness. some of these classics i'd be willing to bet dieselboy or evol intent dont even know about...check out the classic 12" from the bangin' tunes label he drops in this from neil trix(urban visions) and just try to tell me it doesn't sound fresh in all it's analog bliss! and there's a whole grab bag of incredible dnb that actually has (gasp!) melody! the klute, pieter k & tango tunes are all highlights as well. 4 stars just for the questionable mixing, otherwise a very solid mix that's unlike anything else in [...]-dnb-mixes world (without haveing LTJ at the begining, of course ;)
The epitome of what electronic music can be... So FAR! March 18, 2006

The Secret Art of Beauty December 10, 2005
I have to agree with the other reviews, this disc is a beautiful find. It amazes me that everyone I talk to doesn't know about this disc. And I agree that these tracks should be all over the airwaves. Thank you DB for a wonderful disc and for putting music out there that the world needs to hear. Boh!
