Without meaning to dis GD in particular, I'd just like to address his statement re. jungle's supposedly "more" complex rhythms -- this is a cliche that's oft repeated, but seldom questioned. So, *what* exactly are jungle rhythms more complex than? <<< The "complex" rhythms bit is kind of silly. People just say jungle's got a complex rhythm cos they feel it's too fast and too layered to dance to. Isn't that silly? If more jungle would really work at creating complex rhythms instead of sampling a few records and layering the effects the genre would have moved forward a long time ago. Amen ragga got boring, now there's the hip hop style. Eh... Anyway, I completely agreed with the above quoted post.
