excellent music, is not really doing things that haven't been done. He
may cut up breaks but so does source direct. SP certainly does cut them
to a greater degree but at times it really does turn into noise (some
may like this). SP is one point on a continuum. He is not outside the
realm of jungle. He is only standing on the shoulders of those who came
before him.

But you people forget what makes Tom J such an innovative music-maker.
He is such an exciting instrementalist, playing his own bass lines,
going places with his music and beats that we all forget about. He can
turn the sounds of the world around us into the music we enjoy.
