I disagree. It does. It's impossible to get the 'jungle-break-feel' with a
drum machine (or sampled single hits) and a sequencer with straight
quantization. It needs to 'lag' just a bit at times or else it sounds like
a dull, rigid techno groove. I does have a swing of sorts. Those
tambourines that tingle over a lot of breaks aren't staight quantized. They
'lag'. In some breaks the snares 'stutter'. Know what I mean?
2 cents.
CYA! Paul.
