Following my mail concerning intelli-jungle, three people advised me to find the Tech Steppin' compilation on Emotif Records. Ear/rational has this in their catalog for $20. Can any of you comment if it is worth the buy ? I'm very very new to jungle and the things I have so far do not work for me at all. I do not want to buy another jungle-cd which I'll play just once. As for my taste, I like the noisy junglish tracks on ?-Ziq's _In Pine Effect_, and the last track of each _In Order To Dance 6_ disc. Thanks, dv8

hmmm. i'm not sure if _Techsteppin'_ will scratch your itch. While the tracks are dark, and heavy and pretty intense (like Trace's rmx of "horny mutant jazz" by TPower), the focus is still on the drums and the bass. I can't exactly remember the last tracks on IOTD6; was one of them the Locust "no one in the world" remix? anyway, tread lightly -- _Techsteppin'_ is dark and hard, but it's still jungle. If you don't like jungle, you won't like it. mikebee

If you are just getting into jungle, I would recommend leaving buying this for a while as it is really DARK and sparse. It has some Killer basslines, moody samples, semi-coherant sentences. If you haven't heard any of it before it WILL scare you (I was terrified first time I heard it(maybe because I had done a trippy pill):-). It is excellent though, Ed Rush, Voyager, Doc Scott are just 3 of the artists on this and they deliver some of the darkest scariest jungle I have heard. Here are a few buys that I recommend (and these are my own opinions, you might not like them) Logical Progressions, Promised Land (LTJ Bukem), Foul Play Vol 3 and the album (can't remember the name). The Self Evident Truth Of An Intuitive Mind, Police State (T Power), Feed Me Weird Things, Bubble & Squeak (Sqrpusher), Platinum Breaks (there are a lot of classic tracks on this, if you don't buy vinyl this comp is one of the few places you can find some of them on CD, and there are a few unreleased tracks on here as well.)
