So, you are saying every musician who is turning out 'Jungle' is innovative? How do you decide whether a musician is turning out 'Jungle'? If I label my CD as 'Jungle' and get it put in the 'Jungle' section at Tower am I innovative? These are the sorts of questions which lead to my statement. It's too hard to define the boundaries of a genre. So, I think it's silly to define a genre as innovative (unless you play lingquistic games as above). [fletcher]
