It also might interest you that of the many genres that Mark of Global Communication spun in NYC, Jungle was very much present.. When I indicated my approval of the cuts he was playing, he exclaimed "Jungle is Wicked!".. Just thought that might give it some approval.. Jamie Hodge

Yeah, jungle is like any music style. Some good stuff and a lot of generic stuff. The best use of drum samples I've heard in a while can be found on the B-side of "Deeper Life" by Chimera (Back2Basics). "Jacob's Ladder" is the track. Mad, mad drums. Absolutely brilliant. My vote for Ambient Jungle Track of the Year is "The Deep" by Koda. Just buy the 12" if you see it. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se <http://www.update.uu.se/~chris/>

A record I just picked up here called "Burning Bridges" by White Lightening is quite beautiful. I forget the label..It's a 12" with a skull on the B side.. It starts with some basic but quite effective synths that envelope you..very slow and driving, and the breaks come in slowly...a wonderful record.. I can't explain the melody, but it is incredible..you have to hear it to know what I mean! -Dylan.

thank you for bestowing the list, db. the pity of it is that it's going to be next to impossible for 90% of the people on this list to obtain any of these records. not being the professional may have something to do with it. :) Tamara Palmer writes: +it's the same album with a different title. i interviewed him and he would +like people to know he didn't choose the title on the sm:)e release. post the interview! post it! post it! please? -- o _/,_ . /o...\__// fk453@cleveland.freenet.edu \_'__/``\` \`

I can't, I have had problems with copyright infringement (to put it nicely) on interviews of mine posted to this list (last year) prior to publication date. It sucks but I don't want to take chances again. If anyone's interested it will be in project x and eventually on my web page in a few months.

More and more of the stuff DB mentioned will slowly become available. Every time I post anything on jungle I get mail from people who seem a little amazed at how out of it I am, BUT I will again show my ignorance by saying that the 'Counterforce' comp on FFRR is pretty damn good. It has tracks by Metalheads, DJ Crystl, DJ Tamsin & the Monk and a junglized Orbital. It is a continuous mix from Mark Gage, so it reflects his likes and dislikes which are closer to mine than some other compilers ... This is a domestic release that should be widely available on CD, and the first domestic comp I'd give an unqualified thumbs up.

my review: i was bored out of my mind! except for that Hyper On Experience track, which was pretty awesome, the rest was really irritating. just what we need, more boring string pads. i have yet to hear a jungle compilation that really did anything for me. for such a supposedly fresh and innovative genre it seems to have developed a hell of a lot of cliches already. "so, you think you can do it better?" yes, i do, and i've put my money where my mouth is and written a track that showcases My Concept Of Jungle... it will be out over the summer. then you can all flame it mercilessly for being dull and cliched. i can't wait...

In my book, current jungle and drum'n'bass really don't have anything to do with techno. Visit a "real" jungle club in east London and they'll laugh in your face if you start talking about techno. But I guess what you're actually talking about is this "artcore" (sigh) business. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se

My two cents about jungle - Funny thing happened to me lately. I hadn't heard any drum'n'bass that moved me in ages (for the record, I was a big fan of No U-Turn, and after that the whole Matrix/Optical axis... basically, anything on Metro totally slayed me; the last stuff I bought was Polar & Klute). I rarely went out to hear it, for a variety of reasons, and I stopped spinning it myself (I'd never been much of a jungle DJ to begin with, so it wasn't much of a sacrifice). But not too long ago I heard the London Elektricity track on the Off-Centre comp on BBE, and it totally grabbed me. Fat and jazzy and as much influenced by Detroit techno as anything, with that really growly synth resonance. I went on to pick up a few London Elektricity 12"s and then the Plastic Surgery 2 comp on Hospital... and suddenly I've fallen in love, or at least mild infatuation, all over again. I feel like this stuff has much more in common with broken beat than most jungle out there (the J Majik on Defected is another good example) - in fact, people like Andrew Jervis have been mixing up their broken beat sets with 3 or 4 jungle tracks in a row, to change up the tempo... and it works. I don't know if this stuff is getting played out at trad drum'n'bass nights, but in more diverse, breaks'n'jazz contexts, it works really well. Philip
