That is true to a point, T-Power was doing experimental Drum and Bass when Jenkins was still hanging out with his raver friends in the early 90s, BUT.... Squarepusher has taken Jungle and taken it to the edge, even Aphex can't top that, but there is only so much you can do with jungle and thats why 'Hard Normal Daddy' has taken a sudden turn towards cheesy 70s disco funk and Tom knows that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~trapezoidamoeba~~~~~~~~~ giv@purescript.com.au~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~http://www1.loom.net.au/home/autumn
