I dunno if that was what I meant, but I agree that it's far too easy to chop
up breaks, the tough part is like you said, what sets Tom Jenkinsin apart.
The music is what's more important, anyone can chop up a few breaks (and
IMO, almost anyone can make traditional drum&bass, but that's just my
opinion.)
i mean, lotsa stuff I do can be compared to AFX, but I'd like to think I
have my own little experiments, like taking samples from telephone calls
instead of synths :) .. but if it does end up sounding like you're an AFX/SP
wannabe, then that's no fun at all
