I would hardly say jungle is over based on one lp. I think there is some quality stuff coming out from Ed Rush & Optical, Fierce, Ram Trilogy guys, Photek, and etc. I've read that the new Krust promo 12" is suppose to great. And the J Majik lp has some drum n bass heavyweights on it. Not to mention the highly anticipated lp from Matrix, and Dj Die. I think some wicked stuff is about to come out for summer.

House has been the most predominant music being played out anywhere i have been in the last 5 years. And there are 15-20 times more house releases coming out every week vs non house. Can it really get any bigger? And would anyone really want it to? I know it's probably just me, but I would rather hear the most futuristic alien sounding stuff vs very common traditional sounding stuff. I've recently been getting way more into minimal techno after taking a break from it. Still occasionally finding some awesome stuff, but you have to dig. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
