Reviews:

"Children of Dub are a band who skillfully unify digital technologies with organic structures and thus produce music which can be only described as timeless... Their style, due to the many changes in line-up, is diverse and cuts across house, techno, trance, break-beat, and of course the grandfather of it all, dub. As such, Evolution provides us with a comprehensive coverage of how Children of Dub have developed over the years, and provides a fantastic introduction to those who are new to them and a must-have for those that are already in the know.." Upfront

"Released 8/01 on Rumour Records. Evolution is an excellent summary of the COD discography, tracing a journey of how their sound has evolved through squiggly, dubby electronica, trance, break beat and drum 'n bass. It is compiled from many rare and unavailable / deleted COD EPs and vinyls, rather than a hand picking of tracks from their past five albums. Hence Evolution is more than just a "best of..." album and is an essential purchase if, like myself, you missed many of these releases first time round.." global-trance.co.uk

'Quite simply C.O.D. were at the forefront of the UK's progressive house and trance scene... Tracks such as Nemesis, Om and Greed proved that the band could happily mix house beats & acid squiggles alongside break-beats, live bass, live guitar and drums with elements of other genres. C.O.D. were not afraid to push the boundaries and their extensive live work allied to their studio output gained them respect throughout the UK, Europe and America, resulting in adulation from both the underground and mainstream press. Two of the bands biggest supporters have been John Peel and Annie Nightingale.' Dream
