Come now, there is *plenty* of good music happening in the dancefloor drum-n-bass arena. Roni Size, Bukem, Photek, T Power, Moving Shadow artists like EZ Rollers and Dom and Roland, all are big names, all have made excellent music as far as I am concerned. Squarepusher and Plug are essential listening, but I love the easier going, 'simpler' stuff too, music that isn't ashamed of its roots. Jungle doesn't all have to be an 'intellectual come exercise', as Graham Sutton put it. On Now? The Way - Global Communication
