Andy C, Shimon etc. Technical & hard yes, innovative no. They use to put out interesting music, but now they are pretty boring. Probably the worst dnb track I've heard is Moving Fusion's 'Skull Smasher". All they did was sample 808 State Cubik and make a dnb track out of it. Not to mention that track had been sampled to death in the early 90s. Old Ram is cool, the new stuff forget about it. Black Irvin <wordsounds@yahoo.com> wrote:

Teebee use to be pretty cool, all his tracks seem like he's rehashing familiar territory. That's the whole problem with the drum n bass scene, everyone has jumped onto the same sound and just keep regurgitating the same kind of stuff. Does anyone remember when everyone had their own sound? There were even different camps that sounded different and everyone tried to out do each other and there was a lot of progression in the sound. Nowadays it just sounds like everyone just wants to whip out a tune without putting much effort into it....like that whole 92 techno revamped into dnb songs....like Moby's "Go" being turned into a dnb tune by Dylan. That tune was never good in the first place!! I certainly hope Angelo Badalamenti and/or David Lynch got some money for that tune.

The A Side is sort of electro-ish
and the B-side is dnb. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
