Yeah, house and techno are for wimps. (joke, alright?)

Well, to me jungle is about the drum and the bass and sub bass frequencies
just don't translate very well on home equipment. Of course I know there's
a lot of "jungle" that's more or less listening music, but there's the old
war of definitions. Is Namlook "techno"? Is Goldie "jungle"? When you move
so far away from the original idea that it becomes something else...
