Thanks for the information Dan - must confess I'm not greatly attracted -
I'm a big fan of drum'n'bass/jungle up to 95/96ish, though I'm definitely
not an expert. I once picked up volume 2 of East-Westercisms: d'n'b+asian
and found it pretty poor - sort of cultural tourism. Then again, anything
that lifts the 'dark' shroud from the music has to be good I guess.
Cheers,
Colin.
