This is a bit drum and bass, French voice on some of the tracks, not all and no singing.

I think the album cover was black with some blue speckle type thing.

Spoke to mate who had it and he has admitted he was so stoned back then that he doesn’t recall the arrival of his 2 kids…so has no memory of this!

Anyone able to assist please?

Can you hum us a tune from it?

Just upload a clip of you singing to the YouTube, that should give us more to go on

Enigma, album including Sadeness part I?

MCMXC a.D.

Moby, it’s got to be Moby.

Everything in 99… was Moby.

20 years old next year..

20 frikkin years ,!,!,,,,,🤦‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Gotan Project?

It’s not drumandbass and it’s not this but I’m posting it anyway

Absolute tune. Was listening to SuperDiscount2 the other day! Superdiscount 3 is **** amazing too.

Haha, not Moby. No humming either, it is all very bitty and not enough to go on.

St Germain – Boulevard

DJ Cam – Substances?

Maybe not d&b enough.

1 of the Super Discount albums by Etienne De Crecy? No black and blue cover though.

Dunno bout this but was SASH d&b?

Mc solaar?

Air, moon safari?

One tune has a voice-over – Silence la class

Which is where my French thinking comes from…it is a statement then a rhythmy tune kicks off…

On holiday and signal isn’t strong enough for videos so will check the suggestions on my return home.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem? Total tunes. Not sure about the French though?

good call by eat more cheese – blue speckled album cover?

?

Possibly…more thinks to try, ta.

I have been wracking my brains. I can think of albums that meet one or two criteria. None are black with blue speckles, but have dark covers. How about

As mentioned LTJ Bukem Logical Progression

Adam F – Colours

Hybrid – Wide Angle

Thievery Corporation – Mirror Conspiracy

Bit later but how about the avalanches – since I left you?

Spent today thinking…might also not be drum and bass…certainly has those elements but maybe not strictly drum and bass…

stereolab – cobra and phases group play voltage in the milky night ?

French voice on some of the tracks, not all and no singing.

That does fit for Sash!.

Megabass?

+1 for logical progression, class, and fits the bill in many respects apart, but struggling with the French bit. Not drum and bass, but from the period could look at Jazzamatazz (e.g. MC Solaar, Le Bien, Le Mal).

yeah sash encore un fois had a blue cover and french chat. I was also stoned most of the time those days…

Definitely not sash, I suspect it wasn’t a mainstream artist/act as he was the only one who had the album (and can’t recall it!).

Photek?

Modus Operandi was about then. But not blue speckle.

I was gonna say Photek. Form & Function was around then https://youtu.be/qIyjaSSUvfU

Edit: not speckly either. Sort of spotty though

Nothing to add yet, other than I seem to have most of the albums mentioned so far: LTJ, Photek, Gotan Project, St Germain, Adam F…

I’ll have to have a skim through my cds tomorrow and see what I can find that might fit the description.

Thanks.

Could it be Leftfield- rhythm and stealth?

BT – ESCM (and possibly track Memories in a Sea of Forgetfulness).  Think this ticks all boxes!

Edit: just re-listening to the album now, forgot it’s a cracker!

Is the OP talking about the Robert Miles era? Children was his big hit but around that time there were some slow dub European artists doing similar stuff..

Can’t be this can it ??

Choooooooooun!!

Memories in a Sea of Forgetfulness  – vocals start from about 2 mins in, music has a definite chilled D&B vibe.

Maybe this?

Kruder & Dorfmeister used to top our list for chilled Dance, don’t think they ever “sang” French though..

Before The Storm album is blue.

Is there some French spoken/sung in another tunes on album?

@gecko76 – what is that? It might be it…
