Leon Mar's debut full-length is a solid, if somewhat monochromatic, collection of the dark, brooding, heavily syncopated drum'n'bass he helped develop along with artists such as Ed Rush, Dom & Roland, Source Direct, and Origin Unknown. One of the style's watermarks, "The Beckoning," is included here, but the two years that separate that track from most of the rest of Arcon 2 do not appear to have been spent on R&D; most of the newer tracks do little to up the ante beyond adding a few instrumental embellishments (bits of guitar, flute, and muddy synth) or slowing the pace a bit (via the obligatory downtempo cuts). Listenable and among the better jungle full-lengths, but still a ways off from essential. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
