I have absolutely no problem with dancing to jungle the whole night through. Actually, I find it much easier to stand a whole night of good varied breakbeat than 8 hours of one pounding kick drum. Jungle is not meant to be listening music. The only place where it does itself justice is on the dancefloor, assisted by a huge sound system. Anywhere else it just falls flat. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se <http://www.update.uu.se/~chris/>
