be happy to name some names. _field_of_action_ by foul play productions is
probably one of the most generic d+b records i've ever heard; new artist.
the _metro_breaks_99:_deeper_drum_&_bass_from_darkest_toronto_ and
_sonar_1.0_ compilations are both pretty stale, although i do generally like
the labels the albums are on. "aparatus" (single) by tom b & kojak is
boring. i think these releases would be much more bearable if they had come
out years back.

oh yeah, i totally agree with you on this one. i don't think of datach'i as
proper d+b at all. he has a lot more background than foul play productions
or whoever. it's this proper d+b you speak of that i don't believe there's
much hope left for.

this is more or less what i've been trying to spit out the whole time. so
thank you for agreeing with me, finally. although, i gave a similar line in
the first post and was considered to be flaunting ignorance.

well, like i said before, i wouldn't go as far as to call datach'i's music
traditional, "proper" d+b. but i would call it deconstructionism, or "drill
'n' bass," not that i'm too fond with spin off genre titles (trip-hop). i'd
say that drill 'n' bass could easily be considered a sub genre of d+b. so i
guess i don't feel too bad about casually referring to datach'i as d+b. but
i see your point, he brings a whole lot more to the table than what one
would think of as just straight up d+b. this post could act as a response
to Philip Sherburne's earlier post too. so yeah guys, just to confirm, i do
recognize the differences between "drum 'n' bass" and "drill 'n' bass."
