Saturnz Return is the second studio album by Goldie, released on 27 January 1998.[10] The album was released after the explosion of drum and bass into popular culture, to the point where movies and television commercials were scored with breakbeats. Saturnz Return reached as high as #15 on the UK Albums Chart but received mixed reviews upon release, citing a lack of cohesion and a wealth of indulgences (the first disc alone contains the hour-long orchestral drum and bass song "Mother", as well as an eight-minute hidden track of ambient piano and voice.)

His transitions are sometimes merely unbrilliant, sometimes unintentionally comic, or just plain nonexistant....Elsewhere, Goldie more successfully infuses the genre with hip-hop hardness and R&B lace..."
