Bzzzt! Forget the bandwagon-jumpers, listen to A Guy Called Gerald's "Black Secret Technology" (Although I think you probably have already, but anyway). I'm not in favour of attaching 'intelligent' to any form of music, because it sounds so bloody pretentious, but if I had to, this would be the definition of 'intelligent jungle'. This is not 'the same old thing', it's creative, it's jungle with a feeling, an atmosphere. Suffice it to say that I have VERY little room in my backpack during my five months in Australia :), but I still took AGCG's album with me (and that's coming from someone who normally hates jungle!).
