There has been mention of this and other worthy jungle/d'n'b before on the list. Personally I would distinguish between Plug/Squarepusher and jungle. It's an obvious piece in the jigsaw but there's a lot more going on as well which makes for difficult comparison with most other stuff. I'm glad Squarepusher makes you smile :) he does me too, and I'm sure that's half the point. Jon Burrell OnNow: Euro96
