I got this and would sell it. Some really like it, but for me there's too much in the way of unvaried breaks.

'Natural High' is a truly great track, but this compilation is one of my all time favorites in the D&B genre. Each track is an excellent example of a different shade of jungle. No duff tracks, great breaks. Does the name 'Jungle Tekno 4' mean there are others in this series,and are any of the others this good? It also has the "BLOOD CLOT CRACKIN" and "Riots were reported in London" samples that seem to turn up all over. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I read Keyboard, but it's like staring at a book with pictures of simple looking but expensive machines." -- Michael Lazarev NEW CD Comp Electronic Music Project http://soli.inav.net/~kent/emp.html Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
