Has anyone heard Plugged 1 & 2 (I'm not sure if it's "Plugged" or "Plug")? I'm not really a fan of Jungle or Breakbeat, but this stuff is really wierd! It certainly does not sound like that boring trash that keeps getting churned out by those mindless speed-freaks. Definitely "intelligent hard-core" ... John Audette Amberdon Systems Ltd.

it's Plug. and you're misinterpreting the rhythms as being speedy. jungle is an outreach of dub and ragga - drum and bass (which is what i would categorize the Plug records as being - very very weird d&b, but nonetheless) is an outrgowth of jungle without the ragga influence and with more techno. think of the rhythms being slow but the percussion being fast... If you liked that there's almost nothing like it out these days but for some -esque stuff try A Guy Called Gerald or 4 Hero or any of LTJ Bukem's stuff.... mike
