I'm sorry, but I have a hard time with the fact that just because there isn't a Diva in a jungle track, it is somehow automatically classified as IDM. Case in point, the recent Locust single of "Noone in The World." I was psyched to find this track had finally made itself onto a CD single. I wasn't so psyched to find out that all the remixes were complete shite because they'd thrown a jungle rhythm in the background. Every time I hear something like this, I just picture some insane-idiot gong-show wall-drummer going off in the background. Why Van Hoen thought that this was more interesting than those lusciously slow plodding beats of the original track is a mystery to me.
