can anybody think of some others? i can't really sit through a full
length d&b record these days...the source direct one is close, but i have
to leave that on in the background when i'm overcaffeinated and crank it
up when it gets to the more aggressive tracks.
why do i think a jungle album leavened with tr/hip hop tracks or weird
electro sections would be far more palatable than pure d&b for an hour?
why wouldn't dj spooky make a whole disc like that track on asphodelic?
why do junglists tend to be such genre purists, much to the
full-album-listener's chagrin?
on now: ICE, bad blood. yeah, sure, jungle's dark. whatever! this is
damned well pitch black. yowza! i normally avoid stuff this self
consciously ugly these days, but dang is this good. maybe that's just my
allergies talking.
-rob!
