Well, i don't generally listen to d&b (or like it), so that might mean my advice is uninformed (while in some ways maybe meeting a higher standard?). anyway, check out K-rad. they have a site called "pad k-rad" or something (just do a google search, should be able to find it pretty easy)--you can play their "boom box" or download free mp3's. they're cool guys, and will probably send you records directly if you email them. not everything they do is drum&bass, but the d&b i've heard them do is good. and i RARELY like d&b. that aside, i think afx's "hangeable auto bulb" (the first one) remains my favorite d&b, after all these years. you say that the "jungle" you've checked out is too repetitive? "jungle" is what they called d&b until i think 1994, when someone said that it was a racist term. so i guess you're referring to the older styles, like the sort of hardcore rave sounding stuff or stuff with raga elements and the speeded up vocals and stuff... i kind of have a softspot in my heart for those old jungle tracks actually. which reminds me, probably my favorite squarepusher is the jungle track he did for mask 500. j __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
