Heh! :-)
I'm quite possibly going to be controversial, now, by suggesting that both Alec Empire and Johnny Violent were making proto-Drill'n'Bass back in '93 and maybe even earlier. I know that ATR's "Cyberpunks Are Dead" was '93 and I'm sure Ultraviolence's "I, Destructor" came out that year, too. (I'm still at work at the moment, so I have no access to my record collection - sorry!) I can't remember when Larceny were releasing, but I feel sure it was around that time, too. Whatever - it's not really that important. I'm more interested in what peoples' opinions are towards these bands. Alec Empire, in particular, seems to get little mention in these parts, despite being quite influential, I feel. Perhaps his overt politicisation of his music (rather than a GYBE/ASMZ-like approach) unsettles IDM folk?
Anyway, related to this, I have a question: What was the name of the early-90's London Hardcore club night (possibly held at the Electrowerkz) where the door policy was that you could enter up til 11pm, then the doors were locked and no-one could leave until about 3am?!? (I understand that the only light on the dancefloor was a single strobe, too!) I never attended this club, being too softcore, but the concept always amused me! :-)
Cheers,
Clive

maybe... Alroy Road Trax and Conumber both came out in '95
as the HABs did... there's also Plug 123 eps.
but i always thought that plug and those spymania-pusher eps
are a lot alike the early 93-94 jungle records
such as remarc, marvellous cain... more drum'n'bassy.
...and HABs take this to another level... it's more like
IDM/braindance/whatever related.
but that's my opinion.
and i find all those releases i mentioned here in
my top 10 favorite records of all time.
