Yeah, I've heard it. The title covers it pretty accurately. It's a bunch of
not very inventive but very fast jungle loops ("programmed" by some japanese
guy) over which mister Bailey plays avantgardistic noise guitar. Initially
it made me laugh, but after a track or two, it just got boring. Don't get me
wrong - the idea of jungle rhythms with loud guitars appeals very much to me
(I would love to hear something like Ed Rush vs. Godflesh or Uncharted
Territory remixing Slayer), but these are pointless "arty" freestyle guitar
noodlings over some second rate jungle track.
