khannan suntharam misses my point entirely and states:

No I don't. What I mean is that jungle tracks WITHOUT Divas are not necessarily IDM because they DON'T HAVE A DIVA. There are plenty of jungle tracks which fit this category (ie: no diva) which are *SHITE*.

WFO=Locust=Mark Van Hoen What I was trying to state is that the original (not the Carpenter tune, the WFO/Locust track, which came out in '93) is JUST FINE. It is the remixes of the original WFO/Locust which came out recently, which have that CRAAAAZY JUNGLE DRUMMIN! which *SUCK*.
